Schlage Rekey Pin Kit Locksmith Tool Box SR-004 100 Pin Kit with Tools

This kit is excellent. I had accrued three Schlage electronic/regular deadbolts through internet purchases that were not keyed to my master key. I was interested in getting them rekeyed, but I didn't want to take them to a locksmith. This kit plus the internet Schlage rekeying guide provided all the details, parts, and tools I needed to rekey the locks. The first one took 45 minutes. The second took 30 minutes. The third took 10 minutes. I'm convinced I could do the next one in 5. My tips: Add 3:1 oil to the cylinder assembly before removing older corroded cylinders. Make sure to leave no gaps between the cylinder and the follower tool or the top pins will eject. If the pins eject, you have to use tweezers to replace the springs and top pins prior to proceeding. Follow the Schlage guide and understand each step before implementing.

The following tools are useless: - Cap removal tool: Not the correct shape so it's useless - Removal tool: Too thick to be useful to remove plug "C" clip Pin cover and springs did not fit the Schlage cylinder I was working on. Additionally does not include T-Pins Pins, key gauge and cylinder follower seem decent

The kit is priced well, but is marginally useful for newer Schlage lock sets. The cap removal tool is too small for most Schlage cylinders. The pins are OK but some of them were mismarked. For example bottom pins marked as 6 were actually size 7. The pin sizing gauge does not apply to Schlage pins and is worthless. The plug follower actually worked very well. Overall I would avoid this kit. It is a poor choice for Schlage specific applications.
