Setup: Identifying Your Lock Code

Before using your replacement key, it is crucial to verify that your existing lock code and manufacturer match the product title (Hudson AE132). Incorrect key codes will not operate your lock. The lock code can typically be found in several locations:

• On the original key: The code is often stamped directly onto the key blade or head.
• On the lock face: For some locks, the code is engraved on the visible part of the lock cylinder.
• On a label inside/behind the lock: For mailbox locks, the code may be on a sticker or engraved on the lock body, accessible when the mailbox door is open or the lock is partially removed.
• On the cabinet/door label: Sometimes, the code is provided on a label affixed to the inside of the mailbox door or cabinet.

ట్రబుల్షూటింగ్

Key does not insert fully:

Check for obstructions in the keyway. Ensure the key is oriented correctly. Verify that the key code AE132 matches your lock. If the key is bent or damaged, it may need replacement.

Key inserts but does not turn:

Ensure the key is fully inserted. The lock mechanism might be stiff; try gently wiggling the key while applying slight turning pressure. Do not force it. The lock might be jammed or corroded. Consider applying graphite lubricant. If the issue persists, the lock itself may require professional attention or replacement.

Key turns but lock does not open/close:

This indicates an issue with the internal mechanism of the lock, not the key itself. The cam or latch might be dislodged or broken. Professional locksmith service or lock replacement is recommended.
