FB keys slightly too fat

Post by Dan » Sun Dec 13, 2015 1:36 pm

Went to open a Fb door today, I could see which key it was but the keys were slightly too large to fit the lock. Anyone know if there is an old style type or just dodgy keys. Iv seen a few Feb padlocks which my
Keys don't fit either, because of the same problem.

Where did you buy the keys? There is a lot of cheap shite going round!

It's not the key it's the ring that sits in the key body just above the actual locking part of the key if you grab a file, or grinder (if using the latter please be careful with fingers lol) and make it thinner close to the body of the key this will solve your issue, I've had the same problem myself in the past when using the keys at work!
