Key Identification and Ordering (Setup)

To ensure you receive the correct replacement key, it is crucial to accurately identify your lock code. The EasyKeys TS002 key is specifically cut for CompX National locks with the TS002 code. Follow these steps to locate your lock code:

This includes directly on the key (e.g., FR322), on the face of the lock cylinder (e.g., FR322), on a label inside or behind the lock mechanism (e.g., CODE: G38), or on a cabinet or door label near the lock (e.g., HF321).

Where to Find Your Lock Code:

• On the Key: The code may be stamped directly onto your existing key.
• On the Lock Face: The code can often be found engraved or printed on the visible face 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 lock mechanism or on the surface it's mounted to, requiring removal of the lock or access to the interior of the cabinet/toolbox.
• On the Cabinet/Door Label: Occasionally, the lock code is provided on a label affixed to the cabinet or door itself, near the lock.

Important Notes for Ordering:

• Order by Manufacturer: Lock codes are specific to their manufacturer. Ensure your lock is a CompX National lock before ordering a TS002 key.
• Key Cuts Differ: Even if lock codes appear similar across different brands, the actual key cuts vary significantly. Always verify both the code and the manufacturer.

The EasyKeys TS002 key is compatible with CompX National locks in the TS001 - TS783 series, specifically for the TS002 code. It is cut on an RO7 D8783 key blank.

Operating Instructions

Using your EasyKeys TS002 replacement key is straightforward:

1. Insert Key: Gently insert the key into the lock cylinder. Do not force the key.
2. Turn Key: Turn the key clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the lock mechanism) to engage or disengage the lock.
3. Remove Key: Once the lock is operated, return the key to its original insertion position before removing it.

If the key does not turn smoothly, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your key and ensure reliable operation:

• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the key with a dry cloth to remove dirt or debris.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the key, as this may damage the material.
• Store Properly: Store the key in a dry place, away from excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Lubrication (for lock): If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant specifically designed for locks, not oil-based lubricants, directly into the lock cylinder. This is for the lock, not the key itself.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter 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.
  • Verify that the key code (TS002) matches your lock.
• Key Inserts but Does Not Turn:
  • Apply gentle, consistent pressure while turning. Do not force.
  • The lock mechanism might be stiff or corroded. Consider applying a lock lubricant (graphite-based).
  • Confirm the key code and manufacturer match your lock.
• Key Feels Loose or Wobbly:
  • This may indicate wear in the lock cylinder or an incorrect key cut. Double-check your lock code and manufacturer.
