Kwikset SmartKey SC1 Fail! I was skeptical when Kwikset released their Press Releases on the upcoming SmartKey SC1 locks that they would be a replacement or compatible with Original Schlage Specs. I have been waiting to review an actual Smart Key SC1 lock since Kwikset announced in November 2020 PRESS RELEASE. I have been told by a Kwikset Representative my Supplier will have the locks in Stock by the End of April 2022 or sooner.

The Kwikset SmartKey SC1 will soon be available and already some major flaws or shortcomings are appearing.

I was skeptical when Kwikset released their Press Releases on the upcoming SmartKey SC1 locks that they would be a replacement or compatible with Original Schlage Specs.
The new SmartKey SC1 will only be able to be keyed in Schlage Depths 1-6, only 6 depths.
Original Schlage depths are 0 to 9 or 10 depths. I predict more shortcoming as I start to review the Kwikset SmartKey SC1 locks.

Smart Key Locks
The first few versions of the SmartKey Locks had major security flaws, the first versions could be forced open with a screwdriver, which one of the early problems where there are lots of problems with the Kwikset Smartkey Locks. I think has officially released the third generation. I think it’s about the sixth generation. There have been minor changes all the way through. This is going to be really interesting because they say the new SC1 Smartkey Lock from Kwikset, will have a hundred thousand combinations.

This will be really interesting because as we know as LockSmiths, the Smart key Locks, we are constantly replacing them. So this will be interesting. These are great for business, great for the LockSmith business, replacing them all the time. So let’s just see what happens with this new SC1 Smart Key lock.
As soon as I get one, I will have a video ASAP. I will review, disassemble and generally pull it apart. We will see what they have and we’ll have some fun in Nanaimo British Columbia
