probably a goofy question here.  i put my new locks in yesterday.  when they are both in the lock position, 1 key insert is vertical, the other horizontal.  i don't remember them being this way, but then maybe that's why they were recalled.  just wondering if this is right, or do i have one incorrectly placed.  hogone

That is how my old ones always were. Just got the new ones, haven't installed them yet.

Just got my new cylinders the other day and got around to looking at them today.  The "EHH R " pod is away till spring so won't get them in till then but a couple of questions. 1: does it matter which clyinder goes where? 2: on 1 of the cylinders a brass thing was sticking up does that matter when trying to place the new cylinder in?  I didn't try moving the new key to get the brass (ring) till I posted this.  The instructions seem to be very simple.  thanks in advance .

Just saw this thread and determined my lock is affected. Thanks for the heads up.

I have never had any issues with the locks so I was not going to mess with them (if it's not broke, don't fix it), but after checking the key code decided to send for the replacements while the recall is still on. They came to day and with the snow and ice coming in this weekend it may be after Christmas before they are installed. Goose

My deadbolt worked fine but the other lock sometimes let my key go in and sometimes wouldn't so I became wary of locking that lock.  Was afraid I'd get locked out.  When I saw the recall, I contacted them and they sent replacements even though mine was not one of the numbers they listed.  It was an easy switch.

Great heads up.  Locked the dogs in last fall out at Weston Missouri.  Husband said I screwed up.  The locksmith said there was something funky about the locks and suggested havign them replaced.  Of course until this post my husband said that the locksmith had the hots for me and was just making me feel better.  Cant wait to inform him of the recall!

No, it does not matter which cylinder goes where.  Either one will work in either part of the lock. 

I don't understand the second question fully, but I assume the ring you refer to is on one of the new cylinders.  Are you referring to one of the pins in one of the new cylinders, it should retract when the key is turned.
