HPC Keying Kit Assortment for Kwikset Locks with .115” Diameter Pins / Rekey, Rebuild & Restore / # KWK-115   Remarkable condition. Lightly used & carefully maintained. When my father retired he needed something to putter around with. After noting articles & ads for sharpening, locksmithing & woodworking, he bought some of the more popular tools and supplies. Unfortunately his health declined not long after so everything was still in near-new condition when he was no longer able to get around. Moreover, he was famous for his obsession with neatness. His tools and supplies are undoubtedly the best condition you'll ever come across. Sadly my folks have recently passed and I'm going through the old house. This is a Keying Kit made by HPC for Kwikset brand locks utilizing their more popular pin tumbler diameter of .115” These locks are incredibly popular and found on countless homes built during the '50s, '60s, '70s '80s & '90s. My Dad's kit was only used a very few times. As you can see from the photos it still has substantial quantities of pins and springs and is still in near-new condition. This kit is a must if you're involved in rekeying or servicing these popular Kwikset knob or deadbolt locks. This kit includes substantial quantities of 6 different size bottom pins, 5 different size master pins plus top pins and a substantial quantity of phosphor bronze pin tumbler springs. The original case is in great condition and still shuts tightly. Also included is a cylinder plug holder and cylinder follower. I found a vintage locksmith supply catalog among my Dad's items that's dated 1985. As you can see from the latter photos this kit sold for $41.50 way back then. The US Government's online inflation calculator shows that this translates to over $92 today after 30 years of inflation. The old catalog shows the case made from molded plastic. My Dad's, however, is superior in that it has a very high quality metal case with a piano-type hinge, so it may be a year or two older than this catalog. One other difference is that the catalog listing shows the kit including a cylinder removal tool for Kwikset knobs. My Dad's didn't include that. Please note that the cylinder removal tool is quite common and easily purchased separately for very little cost. Moreover, I've seen my Dad years ago improvise without this tool by simply using a common long-shaft screwdriver to push on the two tangs on the backside of a Kwikset door knob cylinder. Please note I've been on Ebay for well over a decade, since 2002, with a perfect 100% positive feedback rating. Please email with any questions & please check out other items I have listed. Thanks so much!
