Recommendation In Replacing A Thule Lock Core To A Keyed Alike Lock Core
Question:
Is it possible to reset the pins on a Thule lock cylinder? I have a few mismatched cylinders and would like them to work on the same key. As I understand it, the change key part 853-1251 just lets you extract a cylinder from the rack or holder in which it is mounted, but is there a way to convert say an N082 lock cylinder to N080 by resetting the pins?

I have an alternate solution, with the Thule-One Key Lock Cylinder # TH450200 you can replace all your existing lock cores and replace them with # TH450200 and are all keyed alike.
Alternatively if you do not want to replace all your locks you can replace some of them with # THKEYN080, lock core # THLOCKN080 and the universal change key # 853-1251.
I am not aware of converting a cylinder by resetting the pins, I'd imagine it'd be easier and more cost affective to just replace the cylinders.
