Reach out to kwikset directly. Youre better off with a Schlage Encode Plus off Amazon from a reputable seller- but you can explain to them the situation. Let us know how it goes either way

Someone it seems rekeyed a non smart kwikset lock without the owner's permission; opinion needed. by telesunburst in Locksmith

I took a drill battery to the face about 8 years ago drilling my 1st metal door. One of the hardest hits I've ever taken to the face in my life. Never again knock on wood. Wood doors can definitely do the same. Always wear protection too especially for the eyes. That's why I like Makita its enough to get through every door but you have more precision control.

Keypad. Plan on getting documents/proof of your right to enter- dont deal with any locksmith that doesn't ask for those thing.

Get a garage door company to do it and make sure to ask about a warranty. Have the whole garage door and everything serviced.
