FAQs
What is the barrel diameter of this lock?
The lock barrel has a diameter of 19mm, designed for standard installation holes.
Can I get extra keys made?
While you can have keys duplicated, it's recommended to use the provided keyed-alike keys. Duplicating may require a locksmith familiar with this type of lock cylinder.
Is this lock suitable for outdoor use?
This lock is designed primarily for indoor cabinet applications. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may lead to corrosion and reduced lifespan.
What does 'key-retaining' mean?
Key-retaining means the key can only be removed from the lock when the lock is in its fully locked position. This prevents accidental removal of the key while the lock is unlocked.
How do I install this lock?
You will need to create a 19mm hole in your cabinet or door. Insert the lock cylinder through the hole and secure it from the inside using its mounting mechanism.
Are the included keys universal?
The two included keys are keyed alike, meaning both keys will operate the same lock. They are not universal and will only work with this specific lock cylinder.
What types of cabinets is this lock best suited for?
It is best suited for showcases, glass cabinets, sliding doors, and filing cabinets where basic, light-duty security is required.
Troubleshooting
Lock is difficult to turn.
Ensure the lock is fully disengaged. Check for any obstructions in the keyway. If the issue persists, try a graphite-based lubricant in the keyhole.
Key cannot be removed.
The lock is likely not in the fully locked position. Ensure the key is turned as far as it will go to the locked position. Push the lock head firmly to engage the lock before attempting to remove the key.
Lock does not engage when pushed.
Verify that the cylinder is correctly installed and that no internal mechanism is obstructed. Ensure the door or drawer is properly aligned.
Keys do not work.
Confirm you are using one of the two provided keys. Ensure the key is inserted fully and correctly oriented. If both keys fail, the lock mechanism may be faulty.
