Key Identification and Setup

To ensure you have the correct replacement key, it is crucial to identify the lock code. This key is specifically cut for the T511 code within the Globe Wernicke T100-T771 series.

Identifying Your Lock Code:

• Original Key: If you still possess your original key, the lock code (e.g., T511) is typically stamped directly on it.
• Lock Face: If the original key is lost, the lock code is often stamped on the face of the lock itself. Carefully inspect the lock for any engraved or printed numbers.
• Lock Type: This key is compatible with ILLINOIS / GLOBE WERNICKE / ALLEN BRADLEY (GCODE / CODES ONLINE) type locks, which are characterized by a rotate style and a circular lock face.

This replacement key is custom cut on a KY-300 key blank to match the T511 code.

Operating Instructions

Once you have confirmed that the T511 replacement key matches your lock code, insert the key into the lock's keyway.

1. Gently insert the key fully into the lock cylinder. Do not force the key.
2. Rotate the key clockwise or counter-clockwise as required to engage the lock mechanism. The direction of rotation depends on whether you are locking or unlocking, and the specific design of your Globe Wernicke lock.
3. Once the lock is engaged or disengaged, carefully remove the key.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your replacement key and ensure reliable operation.

• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the key with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Avoid Bending: Do not apply excessive force or attempt to bend the key, as this can damage its structure and render it unusable.
• Proper Storage: Store the key in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures or corrosive materials.
• Lubrication (Lock): If your lock becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a specialized lock lubricant into the keyway, not directly onto the key.

Troubleshooting

If your replacement key does not operate the lock smoothly or at all, consider the following:

1. Incorrect Key Code: Double-check that the T511 key code matches the code stamped on your original key or the lock face. This is the most common reason for a key not working.
2. Obstruction in Lock: Inspect the lock's keyway for any foreign objects or debris that might be preventing the key from fully inserting or turning.
3. Damaged Lock: The lock mechanism itself might be damaged or worn out. If other keys also fail to operate the lock, professional locksmith assistance may be required.
4. Key Damage: Examine the replacement key for any visible damage, bends, or burrs that might impede its function.
