2. Identifying Your Lock Code

To ensure you have the correct replacement key, it is essential to accurately identify your lock code. The lock code determines the specific cut of your key.

Important: Always verify that your lock code and manufacturer match the product title. Key cuts differ by brand, even if codes appear similar.

An image illustrating various locations where a lock code can be found: on the original key (e.g., FR322), on the face of the lock (e.g., FR322), on a label inside or behind the lock (e.g., CODE: G38), and on a cabinet or door label (e.g., HF321). Below these illustrations are important notes: 'Order by Manufacturer -> Lock codes are manufacturer-specific' and 'Key Cuts Differ -> Even if codes look similar, they vary by brand.'

Methods to Locate Your Lock Code:

• On the Original Key: The code is often stamped directly on the key itself.
• On the Lock Face: Look for the code stamped on the visible part of the lock cylinder.
• Inside/Behind the Lock: For some locks, the code may be on a label or stamped on the mechanism hidden inside or behind the lock assembly.
• On a Cabinet/Door Label: In certain applications, the lock code might be listed on a label affixed to the cabinet or door the lock secures.
