Hello there，
A few notes for exchanging/rekeying U400 lock cylinder.
Exchanging Lock Cylinder
Buy new lock cylinders in the same size as the original one, then replace the original with the new one.
Note: The lock cylinder used for the U400 is a less common specification and is not the same as Schlage cylinders. Please ask a locksmith has a check if they have a suitable replacement.
Lock Cylinder Rekeying
If you don’t want to replace them with extra lock cylinders, there is a detailed video on YouTube that walks through the re-keying process. However, please note that re-keying can be a bit challenging and extra tools are required. The link is attached below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ys-7dWSfUQ

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I fully understand the re-keying process as I have been doing it for over 40 years now, and have all my gear. My issue is getting additional cylinders, as in Canada/North America, no locksmith I have interacted with seems to be able to locate it.
I have actually modded a kwikset cylinder, and also modded a Schlage cylinder successfully, but am looking to have an original one for less hassle.
If Aqara can sell these or orient me I will gladly purchase them!
Also, for the key itself, I know that the key is very similar to a Schlage (interchangeable) but the key cutting process is different since Aqara cutting is reference from the tip,instead of the shoulder as it’s typically done. I also own a key cutting machine.
So with this being said, I louve the products, but would like you to sell me additional locks and/or provide contact for a reseller. Thanks!
