Abstract:
A simple, handheld instrument for re-setting multiple brands of user re-settable lock cylinders, including and in particular, Schlage Securekey™ cylinders. The instrument generally comprises a graspable flat piece of steel with one or more multi-tine combs fashioned into the end or ends of the instrument. By guiding the comb into the lock cylinder's access ports and depressing the internal slides of the lock, it is then possible to rotate said cylinder to it's reset position where a new key can be inserted and learned. In addition to a comb or combs fashioned into the handle end, the instrument includes an opposing protruding barb off one end for depressing an internal reset shuttle.
