Kwikset 83336 5-Pin, K Bow, Random Cut Keys, 3 Key Rings With 2 Cut Keys on Each That Are All Keyed Alike With Rekey Tool Loose

All six keys operate the same cut. The kit is 3 rings of 2 keys, keyed alike across every ring, so a lock rekeyed to it can be handed to three different people (tenant, super, contractor) with a spare on each ring. If you need separate keys per door, you need more than one kit.

Only to the extent of one cut. The 83336 carries a single random cut shared by all six keys, so every cylinder you rekey with it opens on that one key. Rekey ten Kwikset SmartKey doors with one 83336 and all ten are keyed alike. For separate keys by unit, buy a kit per keying group, since the cut is random and not specified to order.

No pinning bench required. The 83336 is an installation accessory that ships with its own re-key tool, so the rekey is done at the door with the cut keys supplied. That is different from a pin tumbler kit like the Schlage 40-132 Retail Keying Kit or the 40-074 Everest Vice Jaw Upgrade Kit, which are pinning kits meant for a keying bench.

No. These are 5-pin K bow Kwikset keys and they only fit Kwikset keyways. For Schlage Everest work you want the Schlage side of the shelf instead, such as the 40-074 Everest Vice Jaw Upgrade Kit for pinning or the 40-132 Retail Keying Kit.

They solve the job from opposite ends. The Kwikset 83336 ships six random-cut 5-pin K bow keys on three key rings, two keys per ring, all keyed alike, with a rekey tool loose in the kit - so you get finished keys plus the tool to bring a cylinder onto them. The Schlage Commercial 40-132 is a pinning kit, meaning it is built around the pins and components used to re-pin a cylinder rather than around pre-cut keys. Choose the 83336 when you want keys in hand for a Kwikset cylinder; choose the 40-132 when you are pinning Schlage cylinders to a combination you set yourself.

They both serve the keyed-alike goal but are not interchangeable parts. The Kwikset 83336 gives you three rings of two cut keys each, all keyed alike, plus the rekey tool, so multiple Kwikset cylinders can be brought onto a single random-cut key. The Schlage Commercial 40-133 Home Secure Keying Kit is catalogued as a part/component rather than a set of cut keys with a tool. Keyways do not cross brands, so a Kwikset cylinder takes the 83336 keys and a Schlage cylinder takes Schlage keying components.

You get whatever cut is in the box. The keys are random cut, so there is no bitting to specify on the order and no way to match an existing key. If the goal is to match a cut you already have in the building, a random cut kit will not do it.

It does not. The 83336 supplies cut keys and the tool to rekey to them, with no measuring function. For reading the bitting off a key you already have, a key decoder such as the Schlage 40-104 Pin Tumbler Key Gauge is the tool for that job.

No. Decoding an existing key is a different task from re-keying to new keys. The Schlage Commercial 40-104 is a pin tumbler key gauge, a key decoder used to read cut depths off a key. The Kwikset 83336 contains no decoder - it is six random-cut 5-pin K bow keys with a rekey tool, meant to put cylinders onto a supplied key rather than to measure one you already have.

Commercial. The 83336 is classified as a commercial door hardware accessory, which is what a property manager or MRO buyer needs when standardizing tenant turnover rekeys across a portfolio rather than doing a single house.

Order it as Kwikset 83336, model 83336-001. That is the single configuration, so there is no finish, keyway, or pin-count option to pick.
