Feeling Stuck or in a Jam?

Feeling stuck or in a jam? EasyKeys can smooth your operation!
 
It is common for dust and dirt to build up inside the keyway. This causes the pins or wafers within the core to stick. As a result, the key will not turn. In some cases, original keys develop a wear pattern within the core. Since our keys are brand new and haven’t had the chance to be worn in with the lock, they can be a bit rigid, and lubricant typically does the trick. Just spray the lubricant in the lock, move the key back and forth a few times, and you should be all set!
 
If you have a particularly stubborn key, just email a photo of the key we sent and the face of the lock core to info@easykeys.com. One of our experts will figure out exactly what is going on and provide a solution.

We recommend you clean and lubricate the cylinder and the locking mechanism regularly with a graphite lock lubricant or a light spray, such as WD-40 high-performance penetrant. This is especially important when using newly cut keys in your lock.

It does not lock or unlock your lock like a regular key and most locks must be in the unlocked position to remove the lock core. The control key has aliases such as Pull Key, Change Key, Core Removal Tool.

Easily Add Variety with Haworth!

 Did you know that several Haworth lock cores are interchangeable?


The Haworth SL, ML, and HW series can all be interchanged! Changing lock cores can make it easy to streamline lock numbers / keys as well as increasing security by exchanging lock codes. In order to change lock cores, a control key is necessary. Haworth has three control keys available: CK-1, CK-2, and CK-3. CK-1 is used for the SL001-SL300 series as well as the ML001-ML300 series. The rest of the ML series, ML401-ML700, requires CK-2, and the HW series (HW001-HW300) requires the CK-3. Another helpful key is the Master Key. A master key locks and unlocks every key within a specific manufacturer and series (if available). While there is no master key for the SL series, there are master keys available for the ML and HW series. 


We are now offering a discounted special on the SL series lock cores! 

The SL series lock cores are just $4.87 each and come in chrome and black finishes.

Long Time No See? No Problem with EasyKeys!

Have locks that haven’t been used in a while? We have just the solution!

First up is the Lucky Line Houdini Lock Lube. The Houdini Lock Lube lubricates locks for smooth operation, eliminating issues with sticking and jamming. It penetrates tight spaces for effective protection of the small parts of locks, hinges, and bearings. This lubricant also cleans as it lubricates, and prevents corrosion and rust! The Lucky Line Houdini Lock Lube includes a straw for precision application, and does not contain any oil, grease, graphite, silicone, or Teflon.


Next, we have the HPC Graphite Gun. This Graphite Gun is perfect to use before picking or impressioning to loosen tight wafers or pins. Graphite is also an excellent lubricant for machines! Containing approximately 1/3 oz (8.5g) of natural graphite, this gun can be refilled with the HPC Bulk Graphite.


Finally, we have the Slip Plate Tube-O-Lube Dry Powdered Graphite Lubricant. This item is manufactured in the USA and contains 0.21 oz (6 grams) of dry powdered lubricant. As a word to the wise, apply lubricant directly to the key when lubricating locks. The graphite powder works better when applied by using 2-3 puffs of the Tube-O-Lube powder to the key and then insert the key to lubricate the lock. Applying the graphite powder directly to the lock may cause an undesired buildup in the locking mechanism.
