What does SC mean on a key?

The SC stands for “Schlage,” and the KW stands for “Kwikset” – two common lock manufacturers. Stone Harbor door locks are available with both of these keyways. The easiest way to determine which type of keyway you have is to look at the shape of the key.

If you’re like most people, you’ve never thought about the type of keyway in your locks. As long as the key fits the lock, you’re good to go, right?

Well, what if you want a new handleset for your front door? Or if you need to replace the knob on your garage door? You’ll probably want to use the same key for your new locks, and that’s where a little knowledge about keyways comes in handy.

To use your existing key with a new lock, the lock will have to be rekeyed. You can call a locksmith or talk to someone at a local hardware store about rekeying the lock. To do this, your new lock will need to have the same keyway as your existing locks. So, how do you know what to choose?

There are many types of keyways, but most homes have locks with one of two of the most common keyways – KW1 and SC1. The SC stands for “Schlage,” and the KW stands for “Kwikset” – two common lock manufacturers. Stone Harbor door locks are available with both of these keyways. The easiest way to determine which type of keyway you have is to look at the shape of the key. Turn the key so that it points up and down (90 degrees from how you would insert it into the lock). Look at the large end of the key (also called the bow). If the bow has straight sides and a triangle-shaped top (like a house), you probably have a KW1 keyway. If the key is diamond-shaped (narrower at the top and bottom and wide in the middle), you probably have a SC1 keyway. However, some aftermarket keys use the same bow shape, regardless of the keyway. In this case, you can also check the key for a stamp. Sometimes, the keys will be stamped with KW1 or SC1. Once you’ve determined the keyway for your existing locks, you can order new locks and know that they can be keyed to match your existing key!

Why C is the first note?

The answer is that that the most familiar melodies use the major scale: whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step. And that is the pattern of steps outlined by the white keys of the piano if you start on C. Naturally the C major scale is therefore the first one everyone learns.

Question: Why do most musical scales start on C? - G.K. Answer: To start with, let's not mislead any impressionable readers that may be in the room: it isn't actually correct to say that most scales start on C. But I think I know where you're coming from here - "C" has a big and seemingly undeserved reputation among musical pitches. One might ask, "Why not A? If we've decided to name the notes A,B,C,D,E,F,G why is it that we hear so much about C??" The answer is that that the most familiar melodies use the major scale: whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step. And that is the pattern of steps outlined by the white keys of the piano if you start on C. Naturally the C major scale is therefore the first one everyone learns. And "middle C" is the pitch exactly between the treble and bass clefs used in piano music. "C" is famous. But the major scale can start on any note. By using the black keys placed there for just this purpose you can play that same pattern of whole and half steps beginning on C#, or Eb, or any other. So really, C major is just one of the many transpositions of the major scale, and its only real distinction is that it is played without using any of the piano's black keys. On the violin it has no special status at all.
