Well, considering this lockpicking stuff. I'm considering replacing my lock hardware well, in one case i cant seem to find the key anyway, so if i want a key i need to either repin it or get a new cylinder for it here's what i have, https://www.amazon.com/Schlage-FE575-CA ... hlage+lockIf i want to keep it as a keyless lock, I'm guessing I can get some pins and repin it with spools or serrated pins, and make it just a tad better than it is now. or of course what lock could i get that would fit that cylinder? thanks in advance

those use a 5 pin cylinder, not super easy to find...would be easiest to rekey it.

Schlage seems to have gone from supplying two keys to supplying one key with these things. Perhaps they could cut costs further and supply zero keys (but supply the code which is just the key bitting) since the odds are that users would have mislaid the keys when they are the most needed.
