I want to use the Kevo lock on my front door and have my back doors have the same physical key (even though they clearly will not have electronic keying). To do this, I need to replace the cylinder on my Andersen doors with something that is compatible with Kwikset SmartKey -- either a SmartKey cylinder if possible, for "higher" security, or a standard Kwikset cylinder that the SmartKey locks can learn. I can't find any information on what cores, etc, are compatible with Andersen doors or where to source them. To answer the question: It is almost certainly possible to get a replacement cylinder for your Andersen door which accepts the Kwikset keyway, and have it keyed to accept the same key you're now using on the front door... or reset the front door to respond to the key the new cylinder ships with. My storm door uses a Euro-style cylinder, which is uncommon in the US but a good locksmith ought to be able to handle this request. As others have said, though, I'd replace the SmartKey cylinder while you're at it.
They were a nice idea, but they really have proven to be less secure than I'm comfortable with. A replacement cylinder should be cheap, and rekeying it doesn't add that much cost.
