Default Barrel Lock Problems


Barrel Locks
We have had reports that customers sometimes cannot get the round key into the lock. It seems the
tumbler shifts out of the index position when the key is removed. This does not, however, disable the
lock permanently. These locks may still be operated by filing the ear from the key and inserting in
the required lock position. This will help re-align tumbler. Customers should retain this key for future
use in case it should happen again.
