I haven't purchased it yet. Thanks for the suggestion!Originally posted by: rasczak
you should have purchased the smartkey deadbolt/key set over at home depot. you can match your old key to the new lock with a small tool that comes with the set.

I am installing a new deadbolt on my garage.
How can I make my existing house deadbolt key work with it?
I hope I don't have to replace all of the deadbolts in my house so they all match...

Most retailers can match your current key to a new deadbolt by re-keying the new set. It is a brand specific deal tho. As different manufactirers use different key styles. Any hardware store should be able to do it. If I was near you and you had a schlage set I could do it for you as I have a schlage rekey set with numerous pins.
