Operating Instructions

- Turn the Key: Once fully inserted, turn the key clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the lock mechanism) to engage or disengage the lock.
- Remove the Key: After locking or unlocking, return the key to its original insertion position and gently pull it out.
If the key does not insert smoothly or turn easily, do not force it. Refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Maintenance
Your tubular replacement key requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance:
- Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the key with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt or debris.
- Avoid Damage: Do not use the key for purposes other than operating the lock. Avoid bending or scratching the key.
- Lubrication (Optional): If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite-based lubricant designed for locks can be applied to the lock cylinder, not directly to the key. Consult your lock manufacturer's guidelines for lubrication.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your replacement key, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Key does not insert fully. | Incorrect key code, debris in lock, bent key. | Verify lock code. Check for obstructions in the lock. Inspect key for damage. |
| Key inserts but does not turn. | Incorrect key cut, lock mechanism jammed, key not fully inserted. | Ensure key is fully inserted. Try gently wiggling the key while turning. If still stuck, the lock mechanism may require professional attention. |
| Key feels stiff or difficult to turn. | Lack of lubrication in lock, minor debris. | Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the lock cylinder. Clean the key. |
If problems persist, contact EasyKeys customer support or a qualified locksmith.
