2. Key Identification and Ordering
To ensure you have the correct replacement key, it is crucial to verify your lock code. The K815 key is a custom-cut key designed to match the K815 code found on your original key or lock mechanism. This key is compatible with XL Locks manufacturers.
2.1 How to Locate Your Lock Code
The lock code, such as K815, is typically stamped on the original key or directly on the face of the lock cylinder. In some cases, it may be found on a label inside or behind the lock mechanism, or on a cabinet/door label associated with the lock.
Figure 2: Common Locations for Lock Codes
- On the Key: Look for a stamped code on the key blade or head.
- On the Lock Face: The code may be engraved on the visible part of the lock cylinder.
- Inside/Behind the Lock: For some locks, the code is on a sticker or engraving within the lock housing.
- Cabinet/Door Label: Check for labels near the lock on the furniture or door itself.
Important Note: Lock codes are manufacturer-specific. Even if codes appear similar, key cuts vary by brand. Always verify that your lock code and manufacturer (XL Locks) match the product title before ordering.
3. Operating Instructions
Using your EasyKeys XL Locks K815 replacement key is straightforward:
- Insert the Key: Gently insert the K815 key into the lock's keyway. Do not force the key.
- Turn to Unlock/Lock: Rotate the key clockwise or counter-clockwise, as required by your lock mechanism, to engage or disengage the lock.
- Remove the Key: Once the lock is operated, return the key to its original position (usually vertical) and remove it.
4. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your replacement key:
- Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the key with a dry cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Avoid Damage: Do not bend, scratch, or modify the key. Store it in a safe place where it won't be subjected to excessive force or abrasion.
- Lubrication: If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant to the lock's keyway, not directly to the key.
5. Troubleshooting
If your K815 replacement key does not operate the lock as expected, consider the following:
- Incorrect Code: Double-check that the lock code on your lock or original key is indeed K815. An incorrect code will result in an incompatible key.
- Key Damage: Inspect the replacement key for any visible damage, bends, or deformities that might prevent it from entering or turning in the lock.
- Lock Mechanism Issue: The problem might be with the lock itself, not the key. If other keys also struggle, the lock may require maintenance or replacement.
- Debris in Lock: Ensure the lock's keyway is clear of any obstructions.
