How to Install Your Avocet ABS Key Fob Coloured Insert:

Step 1: Secure Key in Vice (Recommended)
For best results, secure the Avocet ABS key in a small bench vice with soft jaws or protective padding to prevent damage to the key blade. Position the key so the fob area is accessible and stable. If a vice isn't available, work on a very firm, stable surface.

Step 2: Drill Out Existing Fob Pin
Using a small drill bit (approximately 1.5-2mm diameter), carefully drill out the retaining pin that holds the existing fob components together. Apply gentle, steady pressure and work slowly to avoid drilling into the key body itself. The pin should break free once fully drilled through.

Step 3: Separate Existing Fob Components
Once the pin has been drilled out, carefully separate the existing orange coloured insert and black base from the key. Remove any remaining pin fragments and clean the fob area to ensure a smooth surface for the new components.

Step 4: Assemble New Coloured Fob
Take your new coloured insert and black base shroud from the pack. Position the black base onto the key fob area, then place your chosen coloured insert on top, ensuring perfect alignment with the pin holes.

Step 5: Secure with New Pin
Insert the new retaining pin through the aligned holes in the coloured insert, black base, and key fob. Press firmly until the pin is fully seated and flush on both sides. Test that the fob components are secure and don't move when handled.

Installation Tip: Using a vice to hold the key steady makes drilling significantly safer and more accurate, reducing the risk of slipping and damaging the key or injuring yourself. Drill at low speed with light pressure for maximum control. If you don't have access to a drill, the pin can be tapped out using a small flat-head screwdriver and light hammer, though drilling provides cleaner, more controlled results.

Pro Tips:

Pro Tip: Create a consistent colour-coding system across your property – for example, red for front entrance, blue for back door, green for garage, and yellow for shed or gate. This intuitive system becomes second nature, especially valuable during emergencies or when keys are shared with family members.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Will these inserts fit standard euro cylinder keys from other brands?
No, these inserts are specifically designed for Avocet ABS euro cylinder keys only. The unique profile and dimensions of ABS keys require purpose-built inserts to ensure proper fit and security. Using these with non-Avocet keys may result in poor fit or insert loss.

Can I change the colour insert later if I want a different organisational system?
Absolutely! The inserts are designed for easy removal and replacement. Simply remove the current coloured insert following the installation instructions and install your new preferred colour. This flexibility allows you to reorganise your key-coding system as your needs change.

Will the coloured insert fall out during normal key use?
Not when properly installed. The push-fit design creates a secure mechanical lock that holds the insert firmly in place during regular handling, turning, and pocket carry. The inserts are engineered to withstand years of daily use without loosening or dislodging.

Do the coloured inserts affect the key's functionality in the lock?
No, the inserts are purely cosmetic and don't interfere with the key's operation. They're designed to maintain the original key profile, ensuring smooth insertion and turning in your Avocet ABS euro cylinder without any binding or resistance.

Are replacement inserts available if I lose or damage one?
Yes, Avocet produces these key fob inserts as replaceable accessories for the ABS system. Contact your security hardware supplier or Avocet directly to order additional inserts in your preferred colours as needed.
