Actually, Weiser and Kwikset are pretty much the same thing today. They are both owned by Black & Decker. Weiser's old mfg plant used to be in the same building as Falcon until 2001 when Ingersoll Rand who owns Schlage bought Falcon.
My impression on the phone with both companies suggests that Weiser == Kwikset and Falcon == Schlage. Both customer support numbers answer Kwikset or Schlage, and have no physical staff for Weiser or Falcon support. But since both companies used to mfg from the same building (and were probably the same company at one point), both of their conventional pin and key specifications are identical.
Just an interesting tidbit of history.
