Did you know lock cores can be changed? Lock cores are the cylinders
that fit into the lock mechanism and is where the key is inserted. Specific to
each manufacturer and lock code, lock cores can be “keyed alike” or “keyed
differently.” Keyed alike means that the locks will all operate using the same
key – these lock cores have the same manufacturer and lock code. Keyed
differently means the locks will operate using different keys. Check out all of
our available lock cores here!
If you would like to make life easier (and who doesn’t?), the lock cores can
be switched out to use the same key – as long as the lock cores are within the
same manufacturer and series.
Changing lock cores brings us to control keys. Control keys are keys required for the
removal and installation of lock cores. This key does not lock or unlock the
lock. Control keys can also be known as pull key, change key, and core removal
tool. Find the control key for your specific manufacturer and series here!
Sometimes lock codes can be difficult to read. A handy tool to make it
easier is the EasyKeys Magnifying Card Light. This magnifying glass
includes a light as well as a small ink pen. No matter the location, our card
light will brighten and magnify the lock code. Small enough to carry in your
pocket or purse, this tool can be used anywhere – even for restaurant menus!

information and instructions for replacing lock cores on our Support page.
