Awesome!PS:I've been working part time and I can tell you that the universal pin kits are pain in the ass to work with,most of the time the recommended increments are either too high or too low,the only increments that match up to manufacturers specs are for Schlage.In order to save time a I'd recommend you get a kit with Original pins for Kwikset and Schlage (As those are the most common locks in use nowadays)and use the universal for everything else.
Very good video. Just a hint from a working locksmith who has done thousands of rekeys and who is still doing them every day. If you're out of a pin size you need, it's better to go to the next HIGHER size, not lower. Your pins - in t he video - appear to barely reach the shear line, if that. If low, they'll lock up when you try to turn. But if hight they'll slide right by or at worst, scrape by a little. Believe me, this is a good tip. Good luck to all.
Hi, Thanks for the video - it is great. I have a question: I have ten locks with Nu Set locks and one with Schlage. I need to rekey all Nu Sets. Nu Set has a different key shape than Schlage: the grooves are on the wrong side, so I can't rekey Nu Sets to accept my Schlage key. I also don't want to buy 10 Schlage locks - way too expensive. So, here is the question: Can I buy Schlage cylinders and replace the internal cylinder parts of Nu Sets with Schlage? Thanks!
this is good, i learned how to do this the hard way, working at a hardware store. trying to rekey a kwikset knob and not knowing what you are doing sucks :)
damn son, that pin kit must have cost you an arm and a leg! i havnt done any repinning yet. ive made some keys tho. looks like the old key had one #5 you could have used, lol . do you know of a company that has some small pin kits, at a good price?
Im taking my first basic Locksmithing course in February. Thanks for sharing! Now I don't have to go into the class completely ignorant!! : D

@NaplesSwampRat Ebay is about the best place to get pin kits cheap. Look for a LAB if possible they make really nice kits. Thanks for watching.
