3. Setup: Identifying Your Key Code

Before ordering or using a replacement key, it is crucial to verify your existing lock code. The code is typically a three-digit number (e.g., 547) and can be found in several locations:

• On the Key: The code is often stamped directly onto the head of your original key.
• On the Lock Face: For some locks, the code may be engraved on the visible face of the lock cylinder.
• On a Label Inside/Behind the Lock: Check inside the compartment door or behind the lock mechanism for a sticker or label with the code.
• On the Cabinet/Door Label: Some RVs or toolboxes may have a label near the lock or on the door frame indicating the key code.

Important Notes:

• Always verify that your lock code and manufacturer match the product description to ensure compatibility.
• Key cuts can differ significantly between brands, even if the numerical codes appear similar. Ensure the manufacturer is correct.

4. Operating Instructions

To operate your lock with the EasyKeys RV Replacement Key:

1. Gently insert the key into the lock cylinder. Do not force the key.
2. Once fully inserted, turn the key clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on the lock mechanism, to engage or disengage the lock.
3. Remove the key after locking or unlocking.

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

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your key and lock:

• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the key with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt or debris.
• Avoid Damage: Do not use the key for purposes other than operating its intended lock. Avoid bending or scratching the key.
• Lubrication (for lock): If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray specifically designed for locks into the keyway. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
• Storage: Store your keys in a safe, dry place to prevent loss or damage.

6. Troubleshooting

• Key Does Not Insert Fully:

  Check for obstructions in the keyway. Ensure the key is oriented correctly. Do not force it.
• Key Inserts but Does Not Turn:

  Verify that the key code matches your lock. The lock mechanism might be jammed or require lubrication. Try gently wiggling the key while applying slight turning pressure. If the lock is frozen, gently warm it (e.g., with a hairdryer, not open flame).

• Key Feels Loose or Wobbly:

  This may indicate wear on either the key or the lock cylinder. Consider replacing the key if it's worn, or inspecting the lock for damage.

• Key Breaks in Lock:

  Avoid applying excessive force. If a key breaks, professional assistance may be required to extract the broken piece and replace the key or lock.
