Setup and Initial Use

The GLOBAL LINK G308 replacement key is pre-cut and designed for immediate use. No complex setup or programming is required.

1. Verify Compatibility: Ensure your lock is a GLOBAL LINK G308 series lock. The key is specifically cut to this number.
2. Inspect Key: Before first use, visually inspect the key for any signs of damage or bending that may have occurred during shipping.
3. Insert Key: Gently insert the key into the corresponding lock cylinder. Do not force the key if it does not slide in smoothly.
4. Test Functionality: Once inserted, turn the key to engage the lock mechanism. Confirm that the lock operates freely and securely.

Operating Instructions

Using the GLOBAL LINK G308 key is straightforward:

• To unlock, insert the key fully into the lock and turn it in the designated direction (typically clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on the lock's design) until the lock disengages.
• To lock, ensure the mechanism is in the correct position for locking, insert the key, and turn it in the opposite direction until the lock engages securely.
• Always remove the key after locking or unlocking to prevent loss or damage.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your GLOBAL LINK G308 key:

• Cleaning: Keep the key clean and free of dirt, dust, and debris. A soft, dry cloth can be used for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the key in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid storing it with other metal objects that could cause scratches or wear.
• Avoid Bending: Do not use excessive force when inserting or turning the key, as this can bend or break the key blade.
• Lubrication: If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant designed for locks can be applied to the lock cylinder, not directly to the key.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GLOBAL LINK G308 key, consider the following:

• Key Does Not Insert Fully:
  • Ensure the key number (G308) matches your lock.
  • Check for any obstructions in the lock cylinder (e.g., debris, foreign objects).
  • Inspect the key for bending or damage. If damaged, do not force it.
• Key Turns But Lock Does Not Engage/Disengage:
  • The lock mechanism itself may be faulty or require lubrication.
  • Ensure the key is fully inserted before attempting to turn.
• Key Feels Stiff or Grindy:
  • The lock cylinder may need lubrication (use graphite lubricant).
  • The key or lock may have accumulated dirt or debris.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult a professional locksmith or contact the key supplier.
