Identifying Your Lock Code
Before ordering or using your replacement key, it is critical to accurately identify the lock code of your Master Lock padlock. The lock code is a unique identifier that ensures the replacement key will function correctly. Please refer to the image below for common locations where your lock code can be found.

Image: A diagram titled 'Where to Find Your Lock Code'. It illustrates four common locations: on the key (e.g., FR322), on the lock face (e.g., FR322), on a label inside/behind the lock (e.g., CODE: G38), and on a cabinet/door label (e.g., HF321).
Common Lock Code Locations:
- On the Key: The code may be stamped directly onto your original key.
- On the Lock Face: Some padlocks have the code engraved or printed on the visible face of the lock cylinder.
- On a Label Inside/Behind the Lock: For certain lock types, the code might be on a sticker or label located inside the lock mechanism or on the surface it's mounted to.
- On the Cabinet/Door Label: If the lock is part of a larger system, the code might be on a label affixed to the cabinet or door itself.

- Key Cuts Differ: Even if lock codes appear similar across different brands, the actual key cuts vary significantly by manufacturer. Always confirm the brand compatibility.
