Maintenance
To ensure long-term performance and smooth operation of your door lock cylinders, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray lubricant into the keyway. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Cleaning: Keep the keyway free from dirt and debris. If the lock becomes stiff, try cleaning it with a specialized lock cleaner before lubricating.
- Key Care: Avoid using bent or damaged keys, as this can damage the internal mechanism of the lock cylinder.
Troubleshooting

|---|---|---|
| Key does not insert fully | Obstruction in keyway | Inspect keyway for debris. Use compressed air or a lock cleaner. |
| Key turns but door does not lock/unlock | Disconnected or damaged linkage | Re-check internal door mechanism and linkages. Professional inspection may be required. |
