Replaced Schlage keyway in my slider door to match my newer Weiser smart key locks, just had to have the keys that came with the lock recut as the thinner new smart keys are, after reprogramming my Weiser locks with the new slim sliding door key, they work great! The new cylinder was slightly more robust than the stock lock that came with sliding door originally.

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.

Easy to install
Just as described, easy to install. When I purchased this house there were no keys for the sliding glass door lock leaving me with only one way in. Did the trick, now I can get in or out both doors and lock them.

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.

Fits, Works, However…..
Bought this to replace the existing one in the Pella French patio door at my apartment. It around 25-30% of the price for one from Pella, this was a phenomenal deal. It fit and works fine, the tabs on the tailpiece bar is segmented and be cut away or simply snapped off with a couple pairs of pliers as needed.My biggest concern is the tailpiece seems very loose and sloppy, and I don’t know how well this will stand up. That being said, I specifically got it because I had no key for the old one and it is faster and easier to enter and leave my apartment through that door, and since I installed it, I have only used my regular door to get my Amazon packages, and it’s definitely possible that it will be fine.

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.

Easy to Install
This lock was easy to install on an existing latch set on a sliding glass door. It fit perfectly and works well.
