CAUTION ALERT: CAN'T REMOVE KEY ONCE I HAVE REKEYED THE LOCK. If your key cylinder has a screw-off end cap, tighten or loosen one to two notches at a time until you are able to remove key. If this does not work then read about locks which have been master keyed below.

MASTERED KEYED LOCK:
Your lock may have been master keyed at one time. If once you have rekeyed and you can not remove the key, then take out the cylinder again. You will need to remove the top pins and springs. There should be 5 top pins of equal length and 5 top springs for a 5 pin key cylinder system. If you have more than 5 pins do not use the other pins then replace the 5 pins and 5 springs per instructions. If you have a 6 pin key cylinder system then replace the 6 pins of equal length and the 6 springs.
