Image: Visual guide illustrating common locations for lock codes, including on the key itself (e.g., FR322), on the lock face (e.g., FR322), on an internal label behind the lock (e.g., CODE: G38), or on a cabinet/door label (e.g., HF321).

• On the Key: The code may be stamped directly onto your original key.
• On the Lock Face: The code might be engraved or printed on the visible part of the lock cylinder.
• On a Label Inside/Behind the Lock: For some locks, the code is on a sticker or label located inside the mechanism or on the back of the lock assembly.
• On the Cabinet/Door Label: The code could be on a label affixed to the cabinet or door itself, near the lock.

Important Notes:

• Manufacturer Specificity: Lock codes are specific to their manufacturer. Ensure you are ordering a key for the correct brand.
• Key Cut Differences: Even if lock codes appear similar across different brands, the actual key cuts vary significantly. Always match the key to the correct manufacturer and code.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your replacement key:

• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the key with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt or debris.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the key's material.
• Proper Storage: Store the key in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures or corrosive environments.
• Lubrication (for lock): If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant specifically designed for locks, not oil-based lubricants.

Troubleshooting

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

• Key Does Not Insert Fully:
  • Check for obstructions in the lock cylinder.
  • Ensure the key is oriented correctly.
• Key Inserts but Does Not Turn:
  • Verify that the lock code on the key matches your lock.
  • Confirm the lock manufacturer matches the key's intended compatibility.
  • The lock mechanism might be stiff or damaged. Try applying a lock lubricant.
• Key Feels Loose or Wobbly:
  • This could indicate wear on the lock cylinder or an incorrect key cut. Double-check compatibility.
