Kwikset 83108-001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes do Kwikset 831XX-001 master pins come in?
Master pins are sold by size, and Kwikset offers six: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 and #6. Each size is ordered separately, so a locksmith building a master keyed system typically stocks several sizes rather than one. Every size comes 100 pins to a pack.
2) What is a master pin used for in a Kwikset cylinder?
A master pin is a short spacer pin that sits between the bottom pin and the top driver in a cylinder chamber, creating a second shear line so one cylinder will turn to two different keys. That is how a master key opens every door in a building while each tenant key opens only their own. Kwikset supplies these as installation accessories for its mechanical lock cylinders.
3) Which master pin size should I order for a Kwikset masterkeying job?
Pick the size by the difference between the change key cut and the master key cut in that chamber. A #2 master pin covers a two-step difference, a #4 a four-step difference, and so on across the #1 to #6 range Kwikset offers. Most locksmiths keep the whole range on hand because a single system will call for several different sizes across its chambers.
4) Do master pins alone let me master key a Kwikset lock, or do I need other pins too?
Master pins are only one of the three pin types in a chamber. They stack on top of the bottom pin, under the top driver pin and spring, so a full re-pin also needs bottom pins cut to the key and the drivers and springs from the cylinder you are working on. This pack supplies the master spacers in one size only, 100 pieces, so order each size your pinning chart calls for.
5) Are these Kwikset master pins suitable for commercial buildings?
Yes, they are catalogued for commercial use, which is where masterkeying actually matters: apartment blocks, offices, and MRO settings where a single master key has to work a fleet of Kwikset cylinders while each occupant carries a key that only opens their own door.
