Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who makes Kwikset?
   Kwikset is owned by Spectrum Brands Hardware and Home Improvement Group.
   
   
2. How do I identify my Kwikset?
   Not sure if you have a conventional or SmartKey Kwikset lock? You can identity the type of Kwikset lock you have by locating a small vertical slot on the plug. This is located to the left of the cylinder's keyway. Conventional pin tumbler locks will not have these slots.
   
   
3. Is Baldwin compatible with Kwikset?
   Yes, some Baldwin series use the Kwikset SmartKey lock. These include the Baldwin Prestige and Torrey Series.
   
   
4. How do you reset a Kwikset lock?
   If you find that your Kwikset device is no longer working as intended and you've exhausted all possible repair steps you can think of, or you want to give your Kwikset to someone else to use, you can reset it to factory defaults.
   
   Kwikset Smart Lock:

5. What is better Schlage or Kwikset?
   The short answer is that it depends on what you are looking for and need from your locks. If you are looking for easy re-keying, Kwikset outperforms Schlange. Kwikset provides SmartKey® technology for the simplest re-keying in seconds, so you do not need to switch locks and have new keys made each time, while Schlange's process is far more complex and requires taking the lock apart.
   
   Both brands have excellent mobile apps for select smart locks and have smart locks that provide smart home functionality from Alexa, Google Assistant, AppleHomeKit, Z-Wave, and other technologies. Both brands also benefit from providing a wide range of lock varieties and provide key & keyless entry even with smart locks.
   
   Overall, if you're looking for an easy to re-key lock, however, Kwikset outperforms Schlage.
   
   
6. Can Kwikset locks be re-keyed to any key?
   Kwikset Smartkey locks are only compatible with Kwikset factory-cut keys or professional lock-smith generated keys carefully cut to factory specs. To properly re-key a SmartKey lock, you will require 3 items. You must have your functioning key, a Smartkey Learn Tool, and a new Kwikset key.
   
   Inset the functioning key and turn it ¼ turn clockwise.
   
   Insert and remove the SmartKey learn tool.
   
   Remove the functioning key, insert the new Kwikset key and turn it ½ turn counterclockwise. Your lock is then re-keyed.
   
   To re-key a pin and tumbler deadbolt, a pin and tumbler knob, all you need is a Kwikset Re-keying kit, a Kwikset key, and a pin and tumbler lock.
