Are you keying cylinders for more than just one or two locks? If so, you had better use a proper master key system, preferably designed by someone knowledgeable in master keying. This involves generating specific cuts on the keys to prevent crosskeying. Also, most locksmiths don’t pull the cap off of a new cylinder. If there is a concern with which pins are in the cylinder, just pull out the plug and dump everything. You can reload the pins and springs using your pin tweezers and a follower. It is also always best to use the “anti pick” pins, especially on mastered Kwikset. They’re easy to pick in the first place. Master keying just gives the picker more shear lines.

You need to learn how to master key properly.

Best tutorial ever! Thank you 🙏

Thank you for broadcasting the master key pin code to your apartments on the internet. I'll be by next week to help myself to some new TVs and jewelry.

Was he putting the pins in the cylinder backwards according to the way he decoded it ?

Can a 6-pin key fit into a 5-pin cylinder. if that's what's provided in a rekey kit?

Super video. Thanks man you really help me to learn how to master a lock.

Alot of extra work blowing the lock out like that, he even had the keys to the lock. . . :(

dude u just gave out the key code to your complex...

I apprecite your different strategy but it does seem like extra work to pull the bible when you have the keys already too. But why oh why would you not like anti pick pins? They add so much more security? Otherwise thanks for the vid!

Thanks I always wondered how to master

Is there a pair of tweezers with a ‘hockey stick’ bend in it?

less coffee, more adderall

AWESOME THANK U

thank you for your video, it was very helpful!

"all the employees that have a master key, like maintenance and security can get into the apartments..." -- yep, and now anyone else that can get a key custom made can get into the residences you maintain since you showed the magic numbers ;-)

What kind of pad were you writing on, that was super cool!

I have a key for all apartments. An they have beem mastered.but I dont have the master key.some body before me in maintenance must have kept.I tryed filing keys for both shear lines.but the master key dont seem to work.

Yo tip to make it but more secure. If you have the same numbers from lowest to greatest like u had there no need to add a bottom pin. The more master pins you put in, the more sheer lines are add thus making it less secure. Example 5 and 2 were on top and bottom, just don’t add a master pin to that chamber

What lanyard do you use for your keys, I have close to the same amount of keys and most lanyards don't last. Thanks

nice job done

Can you master key the Kwikset locks that use smart key system?

The master key only works if the Tenet it doesn’t change the lock this is nothing worse then having a PTE and the master key doesn’t work

If your going to use one master chips round your top pins or it will prob jamb up

Very chaotic and disorganized.

What if your master key has a number 7 how would you figure that out

I dont hsve a mastet key for mastered locks .how do I make a master keyfor all locks.

Where did you get ur rekey kit at

What if you want a Master key to work all locks in a building and then you have "A" key to work every lock in the building except the Master Lock. Then you need a "B" key to work every lock in the building except "A" and Master locks and finally a "C" key to work only "C" locks? How the heck do you pin this?! Thanks!

What kind of blank was used for the master key? TIA

Unorganized mess here.

Why do you have all them keys.since you got that master kit.lol
