Kwikset key pins

[Rugdude234]

Hello, I’m curious I have these Kwikset deadbolt locks and I was trying to get some pins for them, so I can rekey them and mess around with that, but when I look up the key pins for Kwikset locks I get a bunch of different sizes and I can’t find anywhere that tells me how I’m supposed to know which size I’m supposed to get. Can someone help me?
Thank you Phil

I didn’t mean size in length but obviously different size holes for the pins.

Like these bottom pins currently on sale at Foley Belsaw?

If you have a micrometer or a caliper you can measure for the pins you need

OK now I’m just curious so they don’t have like standard sizes then, I would think quickset had a standard and schledge would have a standard, so I need to get a micrometer so I can measure them every time I have to get pins?

Most common locks use .115" diameter pins. Kwikset pin lengths begin at about .0171(#1) and increase by .023" increments up to .285"(#6). Kwikset uses only 6 normal depths and 7 when master keying. Schlage uses 10 depths and begins at about .165(#0) and increases by .015" increments up to .300(#9").
A lot of locksmiths use LAB pins. The LAB kits in .003 increments allow more accuracy with higher security locks but the LAB in .005 increments are a lot easier to use. All of these are .115 diameter.
