Operating Instructions
The ABSINA 1013 xKey is designed for intuitive operation. Identify the appropriate key profile for the lock you intend to open.
- Identify Lock Type: Determine if the lock requires an internal square, external square, double bit, or inner triangular key.
- Select Corresponding Profile: Rotate the xKey to align the correct profile with the lock's receptacle.
- Insert and Turn: Insert the key profile fully into the lock and turn it to engage the mechanism. Apply firm but not excessive force.
- Remove Key: Once the lock is operated, carefully remove the key.
Note: While the key is robust, avoid using excessive force, especially on stiff or corroded locks, to prevent damage to the key or the lock. The key is intended for easily operable locking mechanisms.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ABSINA 1013 xKey, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the key with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the key in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and corrosive substances. Its compact size makes it ideal for toolboxes or pockets.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the key profiles for any signs of wear or damage. While durable, continuous heavy use on very tight locks may cause minor deformation over time.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Key does not fit into lock. | Incorrect key profile selected. | Ensure you have selected the correct internal square, external square, double bit, or triangular profile for the lock. |
| Key feels stuck or difficult to turn. | Lock mechanism is stiff, corroded, or damaged. Excessive force applied. | Do not force the key. The key is designed for easily operable locks. For very stiff locks, consider professional assistance or lubrication if appropriate for the lock type. If the key is slightly twisted from previous use, gently straighten it if possible. |
| Key shows signs of wear or deformation. | Repeated use on very tight locks or application of excessive force. | The key is made of durable zinc die-cast, but extreme force can cause wear. Use the key for its intended purpose on easily operable mechanisms. Replace if severely damaged. |
