Lost Time Clock Key – Replacement Key for Punch Clocks and Time Recorders
If your time clock key has been lost, replacing it is usually the fastest way to restore access and keep your time clock operating. Many punch clocks require the key to open the cover for ribbon replacement, time adjustments, or basic maintenance. A replacement key allows you to continue using your existing clock without interrupting payroll operations.
Confirm Compatibility Before Ordering
Time clock keys are not universal. Different manufacturers and models use specific lock types, so confirming the clock model number is important before purchasing. This helps ensure proper fit and prevents damage to the locking mechanism.
