EasyKeys Office Depot W606 File Cabinet Replacement Keys User Manual

1. Product Overview

This manual provides instructions for the EasyKeys Office Depot W606 File Cabinet Replacement Keys. This product includes two (2) genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement keys designed specifically for Office Depot W606 file cabinets. These keys are intended to restore access to your file cabinet's locking mechanism.

2. Setup: Identifying Your Lock Code

Before using your replacement keys, it is crucial to ensure you have the correct key for your specific file cabinet lock. The W606 keys are designed for locks marked with the "W606" code. You can typically find your lock code in several locations:

• On the original key: The code is often stamped directly on the key blade or head.
• On the lock face: The code may be engraved or printed on the visible part of the lock cylinder.
• On a label inside/behind the lock: Some manufacturers place a sticker or label with the code within the cabinet, near the lock mechanism.
• On the cabinet/door label: Check for a label on the inside of the cabinet door or drawer, or on the cabinet frame itself.

Important Notes:

• Order by Manufacturer: Lock codes are specific to the manufacturer. Ensure your cabinet is an Office Depot W606 model.
• Key Cuts Differ: Even if codes appear similar, key cuts can vary significantly between brands. Always verify the exact code and brand.

3. Operating: Using Your Keys

To operate your Office Depot W606 file cabinet lock with the replacement keys:

1. Insert the Key: Gently insert the W606 key into the lock cylinder. Do not force the key. It should slide in smoothly.
2. Turn to Lock/Unlock: Once fully inserted, turn the key clockwise to lock the cabinet or counter-clockwise to unlock it. The direction may vary depending on the lock mechanism.
3. Remove the Key: After locking or unlocking, return the key to its original vertical or horizontal position before gently pulling it out.

If the key does not turn easily, do not apply excessive force. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for assistance.

4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your replacement keys and file cabinet lock:

• Keep Keys Clean: Wipe keys periodically with a dry cloth to remove dust or debris.
• Avoid Bending: Store keys in a manner that prevents them from bending or being damaged.
• Lubrication (Optional): If the lock mechanism feels stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant or a synthetic grease (such as the one shown below) can be applied to the key or directly into the keyway. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your replacement keys, consider the following:

• Key Does Not Insert Fully:
  • Check for obstructions in the keyway (e.g., debris, broken key fragments).
  • Ensure you have the correct W606 key for your lock.
• Key Inserts but Does Not Turn:
  • Verify the lock code matches your key.
  • The lock mechanism might be stiff or corroded. Try applying a small amount of graphite lubricant or synthetic grease.
  • Ensure the cabinet door/drawer is not jammed or under pressure, which can prevent the lock from engaging.
• Key Feels Loose or Wobbly:
  • This could indicate wear on the key or the lock cylinder. If the key is new, inspect the lock for damage.

If problems persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
