Troubleshooting
Padlock will not lock
Ensure the shackle is fully closed. Check for any obstructions preventing the shackle from seating correctly. Ensure the key is fully removed after locking.
Key will not turn or insert fully
Check that the correct key is being used. Ensure the keyhole is clean and free of debris. Try gently wiggling the key while attempting to turn it. Do not force the key.
Padlock is stiff or difficult to operate
Lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based lubricant. Operate the lock mechanism multiple times after lubrication to help distribute the lubricant.

If you have lost a key, and have another working key for the KA20401, you can order a replacement key from a locksmith or the manufacturer if they offer such a service. If all keys are lost, a new padlock will be required as these locks are not designed to be re-keyed by the end-user.
