  • @tadpoleaxe
    @tadpoleaxe 2 роки тому +16

    You got lucky. I've had this happen to multiple locks (I'm a landlord) and I KNOW I did the rekey procedure correctly and your fix (partial insertion and lots of jiggling) didn't work for me. The kwikset locks seem to glitch like this about 25% of the time when you rekey them.

    • @noelv1976
      @noelv1976 8 місяців тому +1

      I don't think it's luck. I just did this and it worked. I had to jiggle it a few times just to get it turned 90°. Once it turned I was able to redo the rekey operation and it works perfect

      These locks are TRASH. I’ve done this about a dozen times with different locks, and know to be SUPER careful holding the key and going slowly. Still just got locked out 15mins ago with neither key working…. On about the 4th lock out of a dozen. Complete trash. And best part is- Locksmiths say they can’t pick them. They have to be drilled. For $100. DONE with CRAPset locks.

    I turn the key as directed to the left and insert the kwikset key tool.I do not hear any click. I try to remove the key and it will not come out.I tried it again with another video having you turn the key to the 90 degrees to the right and the same thing. I cannot pull the key out after using the smart key tool. What am I doing wrong??
