Kwikset 81804-001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) I need a key blank for a Schlage C keyway, not Kwikset. What should I order?
The Kwikset 81804-001 is a Kwikset TC control blank and will not work in a Schlage cylinder. For Schlage C, the Emtek MS4-KEYBLKC key blank is cut for the Schlage C keyway.
2) Is the Kwikset 81804-001 key blank meant for commercial or residential locks?
Residential. Kwikset classifies the 81804-001 control key blank on the residential side of its door hardware line, so it suits apartments, single-family rentals and light multi-family work rather than commercial cylinders.
3) Does the 81804-001 come cut, or do I need a key machine?
It ships as a blank. You cut it on a key machine to the control cut for the cylinder you are servicing, which is why it is grouped with rekeying tools rather than sold as a finished key.
4) Can I use this control key blank as a regular entry key for a rental unit?
No. A control key blank is for the control function used in servicing the cylinder, not for day to day entry. Cut standard tenant keys on a normal Kwikset operating blank in the matching keyway and keep the control key with the maintenance staff.
5) What is the difference between a control key blank like the Kwikset 81804-001 and a plain key blank such as the Emtek MS4-KEYBLKC?
The Kwikset 81804-001 is a control key blank used as a rekeying tool - it is cut to operate the control function on Kwikset key-in-lever cylinders rather than to serve as a day to day user key. The Emtek MS4-KEYBLKC is a standard Schlage C keyway blank, cut to a user key bitting for normal operation. If you are servicing cylinders, the control blank is the one you want; if you are duplicating keys for tenants, a user blank is.
