Use Kwikset Top Pins to repair your Kwikset lever and knob locks. Precise, .61" (15 mm) long pins are designed to help repair the lock mechanism when the cam is broken or damaged in some way. These top pins extract easily with a special tool (11-415 available separately) that is inserted into the exposed pin chamber at the back of the lock. If you don't have the tool then you can drill out the pin, or use pliers or another shim to remove it from the lock.
Kwikset top pins are the best quality and most secure option available for connecting lever handles to lock cylinders. Just snap the top pin into place, and you're all set for a secure replacement of your current cylinder. Their widespread use by leading door manufacturers ensures consistent home security and a perfectly matched fit.
A top pin (or an "O" ring) is a vital safety part for any door lock. Pins are almost invisible & fit neatly into the lock cylinder without protruding. After several years of constant use, pins can wear out and allow doors to become misaligned, preventing the locking mechanism from locking properly and securely. Use new top pins in Kwikset brand locks to prevent this problem.
