			On August 1, 2011 Schlage announced that it will stop production and sale of the SecureKey by December 31, 2011. This comes after a lawsuit filed by [[Kwikset]] claiming that the SecureKey was falsely advertised and infringed on the [[Kwikset SmartKey]] patent.<ref>[http://www.kwikset.com/about-kwikset/media-room/overview/11-08-03/KWIKSET_SUCCESSFULLY_DEFENDS_SMARTKEY%E2%84%A2_RE-KEY_PATENTS_COMES_TO_AMICABLE_AGREEMENT_WITH_SCHLAGE.aspx Kwikset successfully defends SmartKey re-key patents & comes to amicable agreement with Schlage.]</ref>

	Unlike traditional ~~wafer~~ locks, SecureKey sliders are a two part design featuring a guide pin and a slider. Guide pins are small components that resemble [[pin-tumbler]]s with a protrusion along one side which connects into each ~~wafer~~. Guide pins have a concave top which acts as a retainer for a spring in each chamber. Each slider has one true gate on the sidebar facing side, and ten slots on the opposite side which mate with the protrustions on guide pins. All sliders must be positioned at the same level, but the mating between guide pins and sliders controls how far a given bitting cut on the key will raise each slider. There are ten bitting positions for each slider, allowing for a total of 100,000 (10<sup>5</sup>) theoretical key [[differs]]. The sliders themselves offer minimal [[lockpicking]] protection via a ledge on the top of the slider which acts as a crude [[security pin\|anti-picking]] mechanism. The design of the cylinder also acts to prevent rotation of the plug when sliders are positioned too high or too low.

The blue reset key features a protrusion on the right-hand side which depresses a spring-loaded blocking mechanism in the plug. When this is depressed and the plug is rotated to the 11 o'clock position the guide pin housing disengages, separating the two halves. Once separated, inserting a new reset key and returning the plug back to 12 o'clock re-positions the guide pins and mates them with the sliders at their new position.

	The '''SecureKey''' is a user-rekeyable ~~[[wafer]]~~ lock made by [[Schlage]]. It uses five ~~wafers~~ that interact with a [[sidebar]] to provide protection against [[lockpicking]] and [[key bumping]]. The SecureKey is similar in design, functionality, and name to the [[Kwikset SmartKey]]. The rekeying mechanisms of both locks have considerable differences, however.

	In the reset position the keyway is narrowed by the displacement of the guide pin housing. The reset keys have a thinner profile which allows them to be removed and inserted in this position.
