Kwikset 92720-001 272 Pin Keying Kit

Both. The 92720-001 kit carries the parts needed to rekey 5 pin and 6 pin Kwikset cylinders, including #1 through #6 bottom pins and #1 through #6 master pins, plus regular top pins, PK top pins and anti-pick top pins. The 5-pin spring covers are in the tray as well.

The kit is self-contained for the job: it includes cylinder removal tools, plug followers and a key gauge alongside the pinning stock, so you can pull the cylinder, hold the springs back while the plug comes out, and gauge cuts without buying a separate locksmith set. What it does not include is key blanks, so bring the blanks for the keyway you are pinning to.

Yes, both sides of the door. For knob and lever cylinders it carries knob plug retainers and knob control lugs; for deadbolts it carries deadbolt plug retainers, deadbolt control lugs (the locking bar) and low profile deadbolt covers. Those retainer and lug parts are the pieces most often lost or broken during a rekey, which is why they are in the tray rather than sold separately.

Kwikset only. The pins, springs, retainers, control lugs and deadbolt covers in the 272 kit are cut and sized for Kwikset residential cylinders. If you are pinning small format interchangeable cores instead, that is a different platform entirely, and ZenSupply stocks GMS 6-pin and 7-pin SFIC cores un-combinated (pins, springs and caps not included) for that work.

It is. Keying a group of Kwikset locks alike is just a matter of pinning each cylinder to the same bottom pin combination, and the kit stocks #1 through #6 bottom pins in quantity plus the tumbler springs and plug followers to do it lock after lock. The #1 through #6 master pins let you go a step further and run a master key over the units while each tenant keeps a different change key. Kwikset lists the kit for multi-family owners and locksmiths for exactly this reason.

The Kwikset 92720-001 272 pin keying kit is built around Kwikset cylinders - it carries the #1 through #6 bottom and master pins, tumbler springs, knob and deadbolt plug retainers, control lugs, plug followers, cylinder removal tools and a key gauge for rekeying 5 and 6 pin Kwikset cylinders. For a small format interchangeable core system the swap is the core itself rather than the pin stack: GMS IC6-26D is a 6-pin small format IC core supplied un-combinated, and GMS IC7-26D is the 7-pin version. Both ship as core only - keys, pins, springs and caps are not included - so an SFIC facility pins and combinates the core off the door and drops it in with a control key.

They are the security pins. The kit carries three top pin types: regular top pins, regular anti-pick top pins, and PK anti-pick top pins (plus PK top pins). Anti-pick drivers resist a pick raking the stack to the shear line, so you can pin an exterior entry door or a common building door with them and use the plain top pins on interior or lower-risk cylinders. EK balls are included as well for cylinders that use them.

A pin kit is the right answer when you are pinning to a specific combination, mastering a building, or replacing broken retainers and lugs. It is overkill for a single job of a different kind, and some jobs are not rekeying at all: if you just need to release a jammed privacy knob on a bathroom or bedroom door, that is a Cal-Royal PDL-200 privacy door latch disengage tool, not a pin kit. And if what you actually want is to swap the whole cylinder rather than repin it, a replacement core is the faster route.

Residential. The 92720-001 is built around Kwikset's residential cylinder platform, which is the knob, lever and deadbolt hardware you find on apartments, rentals and single family entry doors. For commercial openings running interchangeable cores, the pinning platform is different, and the GMS SFIC line ZenSupply carries is where that work goes.

No keys or blanks come with it. The 272 kit is pinning stock and tools, pins, springs, retainers, lugs, deadbolt covers, cylinder removal tools, plug followers and a key gauge. Order the Kwikset blanks for the keyway you are cutting separately, and count on one blank per change key plus one per master.

No - the two kits solve different problems. GMS KIT-PART04 is a collars kit, a cylinder accessory set for the trim ring side of a cylinder installation. The Kwikset 92720-001 272 pin keying kit is the pinning bench stock: master pins #1 through #6, bottom pins #1 through #6, regular and PK anti-pick top pins, tumbler springs, spring covers for 5-pin, EK balls, plug followers and cylinder removal tools. If the job is changing what key operates the lock, the pin kit is the one that does it; a collars kit will not rekey anything.

It does not reach that far. The Kwikset 92720-001 272 pin keying kit covers Kwikset knob and deadbolt cylinders - its retainers, control lugs, low profile deadbolt covers and plug followers are Kwikset-specific parts, and the kit is a residential door hardware item. A Best-style small format interchangeable core mortise application uses a housing instead: GMS ICM7-ST is a Best SFIC straight mortise housing, 7-pin, with a Yale cam, and takes a 7-pin core such as the GMS IC7-26D. A property with both residential Kwikset units and SFIC mortise openings ends up carrying the pin kit for the former and cores plus housings for the latter.

It ships in a heavy duty metal case with a plastic tray inside that separates the pin sizes, so it travels in a truck and opens on a tailgate without the #3s ending up mixed with the #4s. That matters when you are pinning on site rather than at a bench.
