| Jan 10, 2014 at 17:09 | comment | added | David Pfeffer | @Jason Are you confusing the cylinder with the lock core? Also, I'm still really unsure what you think I will accomplish by swapping one insecure Kwikset lock core for another insecure Kwikset lock core. | |
| Jan 10, 2014 at 16:59 | comment | added | Jason | @DavidPfeffer I got a pre-release version and an off the shelf version and they both have the same 5 pin cylinder as the residential Kwikset deadbolt I've had for years and a new one from the shelf. I don't know what you're missing on it. | |

| Jan 8, 2014 at 20:51 | comment | added | Jason | Kwikset makes some, the locking mechanism of the Kevo is standard it just has the added electronics and servo on top of it. | |
| Jan 8, 2014 at 20:49 | comment | added | David Pfeffer | @Jason No, I mean literally what type of cylinder do I need; I am assuming that every cylinder in the world will not fit into this one deadbolt... | |

| Jan 8, 2014 at 19:33 | comment | added | David Pfeffer | @Jason You can replace the cylinder on the Kevo with something more secure? What sort of cylinder type am I looking for? | |

| Jan 8, 2014 at 16:52 | comment | added | Jason | I can find anything on Andersen locks or doors; just a reseller, window company, or locksmith in Florida. The Kwikset SmartKey is scary easy to break so I'd advise to replace the cylinder of the Kevo with a bump resistant non-SmartKey. Kwikset residential locks, including the SmartKey, use a 66 key so that may help your searches. Most locksmiths as well as big box hardware stores will rekey any/all items you purchased there for free, something to consider when comparing prices to online. | |
| Jan 8, 2014 at 4:04 | comment | added | David Pfeffer | @MichaelKohne Yes, Andersen doors do not take a deadbolt. They use their own locking mechanism and you just replace the cylinder with the particular type you need. | |
| Jan 8, 2014 at 3:21 | comment | added | Michael Kohne | I'm a little confused as to what you want - is there something non-standard about the Anderson doors that means you can't put a standard lockset in them? Have you talked to a locksmith? | |
