I ordered a CLK-YL-AYRD200-SCKA-26 (Key Alike Replacement Cylinder for Yale® Deadbolt Locks, Schlage® style, Chrome) directly from Yale (yale2you.com) and was able to replace the cylinder myself. I ordered the cylinder "keyed alike" to my existing Schlage keys by reading the digits on an original Schalge key.
Standard Schlage cylinders will not fit in Yale locks, but Schlage does offer special retrofit cylinder that, when ordered, can fit into specific Yale locks.
Many local hardware stores offer re-keying options to customers. We suggest calling ahead to see if your preferred hardware store provides this service and to learn how much it will cost. Schlage locks with a cylinder, whether a mechanical lock or smart lock, can be keyed alike or rekeyed according to your needs.

To rekey locks to use the same key, all of them must be from the same manufacturer. You can't rekey a Kwikset lock to use a Schlage key because each maker's locks have different size holes that will only accept their own keys.
Finally, Yale locks are also high-quality but are less common in the United States. Many people prefer them over Schlage or Kwikset because they have a long track record of providing quality security at low prices. However, some critics complain that they lack diversity in their lock designs.
The Yale cylinder key is the most common and widely used profile in the UK. Over the past few years, Yale has made some fundamental changes to their key profiles. This guide will explain the reason Yale has made these changes and which options are still available.
Yes, you can use a physical key from the original deadbolt to lock and unlock your door even when you have a Yale Smart Lock Pro installed. The Yale Smart Lock Pro retrofits to an existing deadbolt on the interior side of the door.
Schlage Rekeying Kits provide everything you need to get the job done—including all the tools and parts you need for repinning the cylinders of most Schlage locksets so that they work with a single key. Navigating your way through the Kit tray.
Rekeying is usually cheaper, and it still provides you with a renewed sense of security. If you move into a new home or if your key is lost or stolen, rekeying your lock will almost always suffice. If your lock mechanism is beginning to deteriorate, however, consider changing the lock.
To change a lock so that it fits an existing key, you simply work in the opposite direction: You change the pattern of the pins in the lock so that it matches the pattern of notches in the key. If the lock is designed with a universal keying system, any locksmith can re-key the lock in no time.
The most common Schlage keyway is indicated by the letter C. However, Schlage has several other keyways, including E, F, G and L, and therefore we have many hooks holding Schlage key blanks.
This is because Schlage and Kwikset locks are not compatible with the same type of key. Their keyways are made differently, therefore you will either want to have all Schlage locks or all Kwikset locks. When you're at home, you don't want to use different keys for each lock you own.
The most common locks to key alike are the front door, back door, side door, and garage door. However, it is also possible to key alike the rest of the locks in your home as long as they are within the same brand.
Re-keying kits are available for most lock brands but they're not interchangeable. You must buy a kit for each brand of lock in your home. (If you're lucky, they'll all be the same brand!) Each kit will re-key six locks, but you can order extra pins if you need to do more.
When purchasing more than one lock, look for packages that have the same “key alike” number on the package. Alternatively, our store associates can key all of your locks to work with the same key. You can also purchase a rekeying kit to swap out pins and springs yourself.
