Setup
The Bauer 700 Series keys are precut and ready for immediate use with compatible Bauer 700 Series locks. No initial setup or programming is required for the keys themselves.
Identifying Your Lock Code
Ensure your RV's entry door or baggage compartment lock is a Bauer 700 Series lock and matches the key code (e.g., 713). The lock code is typically stamped on the lock cylinder face or on the original keys.
Testing Key Compatibility
- Gently insert the key into the lock cylinder. Do not force the key.
- If the key slides in smoothly, attempt to turn it clockwise and counter-clockwise to engage the locking mechanism.
- If the key turns freely and operates the lock, it is compatible. If it does not insert fully or turn, verify the lock code.
Operating
Operating your Bauer 700 Series keys is straightforward.
Locking and Unlocking Doors
- To Unlock: Insert the key fully into the lock cylinder. Turn the key clockwise (or counter-clockwise, depending on the lock mechanism) until the lock disengages. Remove the key.
- To Lock: Insert the key fully into the lock cylinder. Turn the key counter-clockwise (or clockwise) until the lock engages. Remove the key.
Always ensure the key is fully inserted before attempting to turn it to prevent damage to the key or the lock cylinder.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Bauer keys and ensure reliable operation of your RV locks.
- Cleaning: Wipe keys periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the key's finish or plastic head.
- Lubrication: If a lock becomes stiff or difficult to turn, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based lock lubricant directly into the lock cylinder, not onto the key. Insert and turn the key several times to distribute the lubricant.
- Storage: Store keys in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and corrosive materials. Avoid bending or applying excessive force to the keys.
- Duplication: For additional copies, use a reputable locksmith and ensure they use a blank compatible with Bauer 700 Series keys.
