How to use

To use the Eti-Polam KEY-KW8-M, simply align the square opening of the key with the corresponding square pin on the enclosure lock. Once fully seated, apply gentle pressure and rotate the key clockwise or counter-clockwise to engage or disengage the locking mechanism. Ensure the key is fully inserted before turning to prevent damage to the lock or the tool itself.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the size of your enclosure lock to ensure it requires an 8mm square key
