Schlage Commercial 40-133 Home Secure Keying Kit

Both. The 40-133 carries B-series cylinder bars and B-series drivers for Schlage deadbolt cylinders, plus the retaining rings, retainer caps, retainer cap springs and retainer cap pins that Schlage knob and lever cylinders are held together with. Bottom pins, top pins and cylinder springs cover the pinning itself either way, and the follower bar and removal tool handle getting the plug in and out without dumping the top pins.

Yes, both jobs are in the kit. Keying alike is only a matter of pinning each cylinder to the same bitting, and the 40-133 supplies bottom pins, top pins, cylinder springs and retaining rings to do it. Master pins are included as well, so you can pin a master keyed system where each tenant key opens one unit and one master key opens all of them. The key gage lets you read and set the pin depths so the cylinders come out matching each other.

You can. Shim stock is part of the 40-133, which is how you shim a plug and read the existing pin stack chamber by chamber without a working key. From there the removal tool and follower bar get the plug out, tweezers handle the pins, and the key gage sets the depths for the new key. That is the common case on a turnover or a lockout where the last tenant kept the key.

It does. Construction balls are included, which is Schlage's method for temporary keying during construction: the contractor key works the cylinder while the ball is seated, and the first turn of the permanent key expels it so the contractor key stops working. No trip back to repin every opening at handover. The kit also holds the master pins if the permanent system is master keyed.

Plan on Schlage only. The pin stock and hardware in the 40-133 are built around Schlage cylinders, including B-series cylinder bars and B-series drivers and the retainer caps, cap springs and cap pins Schlage uses. Other manufacturers run their own pin depths and their own plug retention, so rekeying a mixed building means a pin kit for each brand you have on the doors.

Commercial, despite the Home Secure name on the box. It is set up as an installation accessory for Schlage cylinder work, and the contents cover the B-series and the knob and lever cylinders that go on commercial and multi-family openings. An in-house maintenance crew rekeying units, or a locksmith carrying it as a service kit, are both the intended use.

It ships in a steel double-hasped box, so the pins stay in their compartments and the two hasps take padlocks if you leave it in a van or a shop. Everything travels together, pin stock, follower bar, removal tool, tweezers, key gage, shim stock and the small parts, which is what makes it a job kit rather than loose pin packets.

The 40-133 covers the bench work end to end. Follower bar and removal tool for disassembly, tweezers for placing pins, key gage for reading and setting depths, shim stock for decoding, then bottom pins, top pins, master pins, cylinder springs, retaining rings, retainer caps, retainer cap springs, retainer cap pins, t-pins and t-pin springs, removable caps, construction balls and the B-series bars and drivers for the rebuild. What you bring to it is the cut key you want the cylinder to accept.
