What do I do if my old key continues to work in the lock?

Troubleshooting tips for when a ReKey is not successful in deactivating old keys

If your old keys continue to operate after attempting to ReKey a lock, the ReKey process was unsuccessful. Several factors may contribute to this issue:

  1. You may not have achieved the necessary 180-degree turn with the step change key.
  2. If you noticed a small metal pin fall out but the old keys continue to work, you may need to complete the ReKey process again. 
    • If a previous attempt to ReKey was not completed correctly, it may be necessary to remove multiple pins to ensure that your old keys no longer work.

   

Ensure you are using the proper ReKey Kit - A Master ReKey Kit will not deactivate keys on the User Level and vice versa
