Work's great, as long as you are not locked out.August 23, 2010 Gabe Pedroso 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Kwikset's SmartKey system is perfect for rental properties and vacation homes, where frequent lock changes can be a hassle, not to mention costly. Rekeying a lock is a snap, as long, as you have the original key. If not, the SmartKey reset cradle will help out in these situations since it will allow you to rekey a SmartKey lock without access to the original key. The only caveat is that you must have access to the tumbler, which means the interior side of the lock must be accessible. As long as you haven't been locked out, all you need to do is unscrew the lock assembly remove the tumbler and insert in the reset cradle. A quick twist and you are ready to train the lock with a new key; no messing with springs and pins.

As a professional locksmith, I ask why in the world would you want a Kwikset lock on your home? Don't care about the safety and security of your family? Don't care about your valuable possessions? Then a cheap, box store Kwikset lock is for you!
Seriously, spend the extra money and install at least Grade 2 commercial locks on your home, and don't forget the deadbolts.

I found the cradle and instructions to be very good. Only problem was that they start at the point where you already have the cylinder out of the lock. If you don't know how to get it out click on this link or copy and paste it in your browser for very good instructions on how to get it out. [...]
Works greatNovember 21, 2009 J. Chock 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This gadget works perfectly for what it's supposed to do. I'm still not sure how the family member unset the lock during a rekey, but for less than $20 it did what it was supposed to do. It took longer to remove the cylinder from the lock, but once it was out, drop it in twist, rekey it and reinstall the cylinder. No problems, neat little (single use) tool.
