4. Usage Instructions

Using your EasyKeys Meridian BT23 replacement key is straightforward. Follow these steps for proper operation:

1. Insert the Key: Gently insert the key into the lock cylinder. Ensure the key is fully seated before attempting to turn it. Do not force the key.
2. Turn to Unlock/Lock: Turn the key clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on the specific lock mechanism, to engage or disengage the lock.
3. Remove the Key: Once the lock is operated, remove the key. It is recommended to remove the key after locking to prevent accidental damage or loss.

Note: If the key does not turn smoothly, do not force it. Ensure the lock mechanism is free of obstructions and that you are using the correct key for the specific lock.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your key and the associated lock:

• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the key with a dry, soft cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate.
• Lubrication (Optional): If the lock mechanism becomes stiff or difficult to operate, a small amount of graphite lubricant (powdered graphite) can be applied to the key or directly into the lock cylinder. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dirt and cause further issues. Consult the lock manufacturer's guidelines if available.
• Storage: Store the key in a safe, dry place to prevent damage, bending, or loss.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EasyKeys Meridian BT23 replacement key, consider the following:

• Key Does Not Insert Fully: Check the keyway for any obstructions (e.g., broken key fragments, debris). Ensure the key is oriented correctly.
• Key Does Not Turn: Double-check that the key code (BT23) precisely matches your lock. Ensure the lock mechanism is not jammed or damaged. Do not force the key, as this can cause irreversible damage to both the key and the lock.
• Lock Is Stiff: Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant as described in the Maintenance section.
