Identifying Your Lock Code

Before ordering or using your replacement key, it is crucial to verify your lock's code. The code EM624 must match your existing lock for the key to function correctly. Lock codes can typically be found in several locations:

This diagram illustrates the various places where you can locate your lock's code. These include directly on the key itself, etched or printed on the face of the lock cylinder, on a sticker or label found inside or behind the lock mechanism, or on a label affixed to the cabinet or door near the lock.

• On the Key: The code may be stamped directly onto your original 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 within the lock mechanism or on the inside of the door/drawer it secures.
• On the Cabinet/Door Label: Occasionally, the lock code is provided on a label attached to the cabinet or door itself.

Important Considerations

Please note the following points to ensure correct key selection and function:

• Order by Manufacturer: Lock codes are often manufacturer-specific. An EM624 code from one manufacturer may not be the same as an EM624 code from another, even if the numbers are identical. Always confirm the manufacturer.
• Key Cuts Differ: Even if lock codes appear similar across different brands, the actual key cuts (bitting) can vary significantly. This key is cut to the specific bitting for Eberhard EM624 locks.

Troubleshooting

• Key does not insert fully: Ensure the key is oriented correctly. Do not force it. Check for any obstructions in the lock cylinder.
• Key inserts but does not turn: Double-check that the lock code on your key matches the code on your lock. Verify the lock is an Eberhard EM624 or one of the compatible manufacturers listed. The lock mechanism might be jammed or corroded; consider applying a graphite-based lubricant.
• Key feels loose or wobbly: This may indicate wear in the lock cylinder or an incorrect key cut. Re-verify your lock code and manufacturer.

Care and Maintenance

To prolong the life of your key and lock:

• Avoid using the key for purposes other than operating the lock (e.g., prying).
• Keep the key clean and free from dirt or debris.
• If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant into the keyway, not oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
