Can anyone give me any pointers on how to convert standard Kwikset (KW1)
deadbolt to a Schlage SC1 deadbolt?

Does anyone make a conversion plug?

It is in a handle set and the deadbolt cannot be replaced.

Thanks!
Michael Ruge

Are we talking about the deadbolt of the knob lock? (re-read your original
post)

I'd like to help but I can't figure out what in the world you're asking.

What kind of deadbolt do you have Kwikset or Schlage?

What kind of knoblock do you have?

Which one do you want to convert?

What I have is a Kwikset deadbolt. It is just the standard deadbolt (ex,
not a Titan). I need to convert the Kwikset deadbolt to use a Schlage SC1
keyway.

I only need to convert the deadbolt as it does not have a keyed knob.

Hope that is better explained.

Since it is not a Titan, I know of no way to convert a Kwikset to use a
schlage key.

Sounds like you will have to replace the deadbolt assemlby. But for
looks/fit, you may be able to get a Titan with the Schlage plug and get it
to fit with the least amount of touch-up required.

Only way to do it is to replace the entire deadbolt. They don't make an SC1
replacement cyl for Kwikset deadbolts.

Check out EMTEK's website . Not a bad product and nicely priced. It is
in a SC1 keyway..

Years ago there was a company that made conversion plugs for Kwikset to Schlage keyway. Dont remember who it was. Nor do I know if you can find them. Like to have some myself.
