Kwikset 83117-001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Kwikset 83117-001 top pin used for?
It's a rekeying/pinning component for Kwikset cylinders. Top pins (also called drivers) sit above the bottom key pins in the cylinder's pin chambers, under the springs, and they're what holds the plug from turning until the correct key lifts every stack to the shear line. The 83117-001 is the .160 inch size, sold 100 to a pack, so it's a bench-stock item for a locksmith or maintenance shop doing repeat rekeys rather than a one-off part.
2) Do I need anything besides these top pins to rekey a Kwikset cylinder?
Yes. The 83117-001 supplies only the .160 inch top pins. A complete rekey also needs bottom key pins cut to the new key's bitting, cylinder springs, and the keys themselves, plus a plug follower and pinning tweezers on the bench. Order those separately.
3) How many top pins come in the Kwikset 83117-001 pack?
One hundred pins per pack, all the same .160 inch length. That's a single-size bulk bag, not an assortment, so if you're building out a full pinning kit you'll need the other driver sizes separately.
4) Can I use the Kwikset .160 top pin as a master wedge or spacer pin?
Treat it as a driver, not a master wedge. The .160 inch pin here is the top pin that rides under the spring; master keying uses separate wedge pins stacked between the bottom pin and the driver. If you're master keying a system, buy the wedge pins as their own item and keep this pack for standard driver replacement.
5) Is this a residential-grade rekey pin or is it suitable for commercial work?
Kwikset lists the 83117-001 top pin as a commercial item, and the 100-count pack is sized for shops rekeying multiple cylinders, which is typical of property management, MRO, and locksmith use rather than a single homeowner change-out.
