Setup and Key Identification

Before using your new replacement key, it is crucial to verify that it matches your existing lock. Incorrect key identification can lead to ordering the wrong key or damage to the lock.

Verifying Your Lock Code and Manufacturer

1. Locate the Code: The lock code (e.g., PB002) is typically found in one of the following locations:
   • On the original key (if available).
   • Stamped on the face of the lock cylinder.
   • On a label inside or behind the lock mechanism.
   • On a label on the cabinet or door itself.
2. Confirm Manufacturer: Ensure your lock is manufactured by Eagle or is compatible with the Lori (GCODE / CODES ONLINE 1014J) system, as this key is specifically cut for these systems.
3. Match the Code: The code on your lock or original key must precisely match "PB002" for this replacement key to function correctly.

Important Note: Even if codes appear similar, key cuts can vary significantly between manufacturers. Always verify both the code and the manufacturer.

Operating Instructions

Using your EasyKeys PB002 replacement key is straightforward:

1. Insert the Key: Gently insert the key into the lock cylinder. Do not force the key.
2. Turn to Unlock/Lock: Turn the key clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the lock mechanism) to engage or disengage the lock.
3. Remove the Key: Once the lock is in the desired position (locked or unlocked), turn the key back to its original insertion position and gently pull it out.

If the key does not turn smoothly, do not apply excessive force. Refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your key and the smooth operation of your lock:

• 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 on the key, as this can damage the brass material.
• Lubrication (if needed): If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant (specifically designed for locks) can be applied to the key or directly into the keyway. Avoid oil-based lubricants.
• Storage: Store the key in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures or corrosive environments.

Troubleshooting

• Key does not insert fully:

  Check for obstructions in the keyway (e.g., dirt, broken key fragments). Ensure the key is oriented correctly. If the key is bent or damaged, it may need replacement.

• Key inserts but does not turn:

  Verify that the key code (PB002) and manufacturer (Eagle/Lori compatible) match your lock. The lock mechanism might be jammed or require lubrication. Do not force the key, as this can break it or damage the lock.

• Lock is stiff or difficult to operate:

  Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the key or directly into the keyway. Ensure the lock mechanism itself is not damaged or misaligned.
• Key is bent or broken:

  A bent or broken key cannot be repaired and must be replaced. Ensure proper handling to prevent damage.
