Extra question about buying pins & bag of keys. Are the keys Schlage blanks? Are you filing your own new keys? Or are the keys a mixture of mfgrs and bittings to which you use and drop your own pins in to match the new key?
In my next life I may choose to get training as a locksmith.

The bag of keys are Schlage keys and are all cut to different pin sets, it was 20 pairs of keys. Schlage has a kit with all of the numbered pins, extra springs and a couple of little tools.

While that Kwikset smart key looks like a great solution to speedy lock changing I much prefer to change the pins. This allows me to lubricate the guts while I have the lock taken apart.
