Prime-Line E 2107 Kwikset, Weiser and Weslock Sliding Door Cylinder Lock, Steel (Single Pack)

Rekeying info
The lock works well and was easy to install.Rekeying info:This lock cylinder is rekeyable and comes apart just like a deadbolt cylinder. However, the cylinder and pins in it are a slightly different height than regular kwikset cylinder and pins making the kwikset pins a little too tall. If you want to rekey it to match your existing kwikset doors you will need to file down the new pins you insert, just a bit, so that they are flush with the top of the cylinder. It is easy to do with a file for wood or metal and it doesn’t take much work to get them down far enough to work in the lock with your existing key.As the cylinder and pins are a different height than standard kwikset, the key bitting depth is different than a kwikset, so if you want to use the new key to rekey all of your doors, you’ll have to do the same thing and file down the new kwikset pins that you insert. Also, if this is the route you take, note that the key is a little thicker than a standard kwikset k-1 key so for the key to fit in a standard lock you would need to have a kwikset copy made. I found that our Lowe’s chain hardware store had upgraded to an automated cutting machine that wouldn’t copy the key so I had to bring it to a smaller hardware store that still did the cutting by hand. The new k-1 kwikset keys work perfectly in the lock.

Horrible
My door handles fell off. I could reinstall because I didn’t have patio door keys. I looked up new sets with lock and it was 120. Instead I chose this and disassembled the lock mechanism and switched it out. Not bad for an 113 dollar fix. I used a file to make indentation for marker easier to break. I have arthritis and was able to do this so don’t worry about strength just kept going back and for on easier side and it will break.Update, it is too floppy to work, won’t fit into the door, I notice between picture 1 which is original and pic 2 you can see that the tongue isn’t stiff enough to go into the slot.also you can see the hole it resides in is way too big. I’m hoping this is defective and not how they build things. Waste of money and time

Decent lock with some drawbacks
Got this to replace a Milgard patio door lock. The installation was easy and quick, but the lock has a couple of drawbacks. Even though it does not feel loose, the cylinder seems to spin a bit under certain conditions which makes it feel less secure. The other issue, and this may be a problem with how the Milgard patio door is designed, is that I cannot lock the patio door from the outside. Turning the key engages the lock, but in order to release the key after locking, I have to turn the cylinder back to the neutral position which in turn unlocks the door. It’s not a huge deal for me since I don’t usually need to lock this door from the outside, but something to consider if you’re looking for that functionality.

Perfect replacement. Easy to do!
This was an excellent purchase. I replaced the cylinder locks in my mothers sliding patio doors with these as a keyed alike set. It takes about 5 minutes with a screwdriver. 5 pin security and no exorbitant locksmith fees. Anyone can do it. The locksmith wanted ten times the price just to come out and then 30 dollars per lock and 15 dollars more to cut keys for the locks. This was a much better option. The only other thing that I did was use some graphite lube to keep them working smoothly.

Great does the job with less money, even better than OEM.

The first look close I purchased fell apart. The second one installed ok but would not lock the door. A friend is a locksmith came and we discovered the lock was put together backwards, so he found one in his truck and installed it now it works great. It might be cheaper to purchase this product to begin with but the aggravation is not.
