• On the Key: The code may be stamped or engraved directly onto your original key.
• On the Lock Face: For some locks, the code is visible on the front face of the lock cylinder.
• On a Label Inside/Behind the Lock: The code might be printed on a sticker or label located within the lock mechanism or on the surface behind it.
• On the Cabinet/Door Label: If the lock is part of a furniture piece or door, the code could be on a label attached to the cabinet or door itself.

Important: Always use the lock code from the key or original packaging, not the padlock itself, to ensure compatibility.
