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

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.

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.

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.

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

I feel like this product has hidden costs associated with it and it's sales pitch isn't entirely true. I have 2 sliding glass doors, each on a separate floor. The rest of the house has a kwikset matched system. My goal was to install new locks on the sliding glass doors with a key that matches the rest of the house. The good news is that it's possible to match the whole house with a single key. The bad news is that it's the rest of the house that needs to be rekeyed to match the keys that come with this item(s).Step 1 is to install this lock in the knock out section of the outside handle.Step 2 is to visit the local HW store and copy the key since the provided keys are too thick to fit in a regular kwikset cylinder.Step 3 is to rekey the rest of the house using the new thin keys which work with this item AND your existing kwikset locks.Hopefully you have smartkey capability in your existing locks to make step 3 easy. Otherwise, you will need to take your existing locks to the hardware store to get them manually rekeyed or just replace them with smart key versions at an elevated cost.Edit: I forgot to mention this in the original review but there are 2 issues I faced when putting these cylinders to use.Issue 1 is that the keys provided by prime line are thicker than a regular kwikset key as per the attached picture of both keys next to each other. The thinner key is the original key for my house. Prime line provided key wouldn't even slide through the key hole of my existing kwikset locks.Issue 2 is that the cylinder was sitting too loose in the door handle. I had to wedge some folded paper to keep it from sitting so loose in the handle. I've uploaded a picture of this as well.

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

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.
