2. Turn Key: Once fully inserted, turn the key clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on the lock mechanism, to engage or disengage the lock.
3. Remove Key: After operating the lock, return the key to its original position (usually vertical) before removing it.

If the key does not turn or feels stiff, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

5. 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 dry cloth to remove dirt or debris that could accumulate in the lock mechanism.
• Storage: Store the key in a safe place where it will not be exposed to extreme temperatures or corrosive substances.

6. Troubleshooting Common Issues

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

• Key Does Not Fit: Re-verify your lock code and the manufacturer of your vehicle. An incorrect code or manufacturer will result in a non-fitting key.
• Key Does Not Turn: Ensure the key is fully inserted. Check for any obstructions in the lock cylinder. If the lock mechanism is old or corroded, it may require professional attention.
• Stiff Operation: A small amount of graphite lubricant (not oil-based) can sometimes improve the smoothness of the lock mechanism. Apply sparingly.
