4. Identifying Your Lock Code

Before ordering or using your replacement key, it is essential to correctly identify the lock code on your existing lock or key. This ensures you receive and use the correct replacement. Lock codes are manufacturer-specific, and key cuts differ even if codes appear similar.

Image 1: This diagram illustrates common locations where you can find your lock code. These include directly on the key, on the face of the lock cylinder, on a label positioned inside or behind the lock mechanism, or on a label affixed to the cabinet or door itself.

Common Locations for Lock Codes:

• On the Original Key: The code is often stamped directly on the head or shaft of your existing key.
• On the Lock Face: Look for the code engraved or printed on the visible part of the lock cylinder.
• Inside/Behind the Lock: Some codes are located on a sticker or engraving on the lock body, which may require opening the cabinet or panel to access.
• On Cabinet/Door Label: Occasionally, the lock code is provided on a label inside the RV cabinet or on the door frame.

5. Usage

To use your EasyKeys RV Replacement Key:

1. Insert the Key: Gently insert the key into the Southco LS001 lock cylinder. Do not force the key.
2. Turn to Operate: Once fully inserted, turn the key clockwise or counter-clockwise as required to lock or unlock the mechanism.
3. Remove the Key: After operating the lock, turn the key back to its original position (usually vertical) and gently pull it out.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance can extend the life of your key and lock:

• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the key with a dry cloth to remove dirt or debris.
• Lubrication: If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (not oil-based lubricants) into the keyway. Insert and remove the key several times to distribute the lubricant.
• Avoid Bending: Do not use excessive force when turning the key, as this can bend or break it.
• Storage: Store spare keys in a dry, safe place away from extreme temperatures or corrosive materials.

7. Troubleshooting

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

• Key Does Not Insert Fully: Check for obstructions in the keyway. Ensure the key is oriented correctly. Verify that the key code matches your lock.
• Key Inserts but Does Not Turn: The key code may be incorrect for your specific lock. The lock mechanism might be jammed or corroded. Try applying graphite lubricant.
• Key Feels Stiff: Apply graphite lubricant to the lock cylinder. Ensure the lock mechanism is not under tension (e.g., a door pressing against the latch).
