2. Identifying Your Lock Code

Before using your replacement key, it is crucial to verify that your lock code and manufacturer match the product title (Ahrend G34661). Lock codes can typically be found in several locations:

• On the Original Key: The code may be stamped directly onto the head or shaft of your existing key (e.g., FR322).
• On the Lock Face: For some locks, the code is engraved or printed on the visible face of the lock cylinder (e.g., FR322).
• On a Label Inside/Behind the Lock: For cabinet or furniture locks, the code might be on a sticker or label located inside the cabinet door, on the lock mechanism itself, or on the back of the lock (e.g., CODE: G38).
• On the Cabinet/Door Label: Sometimes, the code is provided on a label affixed to the cabinet or door near the lock (e.g., HF321).

Important Notes:

• Manufacturer Specificity: Lock codes are manufacturer-specific. Always ensure the manufacturer of your lock matches "Ahrend" for this key.
• Key Cut Differences: Even if codes appear similar across different brands, the actual key cuts vary significantly by manufacturer.

3. Compatibility

This replacement key is specifically designed for:

• Manufacturer: Ahrend
• Key Code: G34661
