I understand most keys fit but still want to double check. How do I do that?Updated 7 months ago

Solution 1 - You can easily check using a ruler to see if the keyhole is at least 4mm large. The length of the key should be shorter than 65mm (the length from the keyhole to the tip of the key).

Solution 2 - It's even better if you have access to a calliper as you'll have a more accurate measurement!

Solution 3 - If you want to be sure, you can use this template.

 

I just realised the hole in my keys is too small to fit. What do I do?

Solution 1 - The trick is to strategically place your key with the smaller keyhole on the side of the Locking Mechanism with the screw, as to avoid the 4mm shaft. This, however, means you need to have a few other keys/USB keys/bottle opener to fill up the 5mm shaft space as shown.

Solution 2 - You can enlarge the keyhole size using a file or drill. It requires extra effort, but it should take under 1 minute with the right tool!

Solution 3 - As a last resort, you can always utilise the optional attachment for anything that doesn't fit.
