FAQs
1. How many pins does a KW1 key have?
A KW1 key typically has 5 pins. This is the standard pin configuration for most Kwikset residential locks, which are designed to be compatible with the KW1 keyway. The 5-pin layout balances security with ease of rekeying and duplication, making it a popular choice for residential and commercial locksmiths.
2. Are decorated aluminum key blanks secure?
Yes, decorated aluminum key blanks are secure as long as they are properly cut and used with compatible locks. While aluminum is lighter and may wear out faster than brass, it still provides reliable performance for everyday residential use. The decoration is cosmetic and does not affect the key’s function or fit.
