Several factors accelerate key lock deterioration. Understanding these helps you choose the right replacement part and extend its service life.

Delayed maintenance or exceeding manufacturer service intervals
Fitment of incompatible or low-quality replacement parts
Driving habits: aggressive use, heavy loads, frequent short trips
Diagnostics and inspection tips
Before ordering a replacement key lock, a quick inspection can help confirm the diagnosis and ensure you select the correct part first time.
Visually inspect the key lock for obvious damage, wear marks or fluid leaks
Check the OE/OEM part number on the old component for an exact cross-reference
Use your vehicle registration or make/model/engine to verify fitment
Compare symptoms against the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide
If in doubt, have a qualified mechanic carry out a diagnostic check

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if key lock parts fit my car?
Use your vehicle details (make, model, engine) to confirm fitment before ordering key lock parts. Matching the exact engine variant helps you choose the correct part first time.
OEM vs aftermarket key lock: what's the difference?
OEM parts match the original equipment specification. Aftermarket parts from quality brands are compatible alternatives that often meet or exceed OE standards at a lower price.
How can I find the OE number for key lock?
Check the part on your vehicle, your service history, or manufacturer documentation for OE/OEM reference numbers. Cross-referencing OE numbers is the fastest way to find compatible parts.
