  Q: I bought some Master Lock door hardware a few years ago, and it's not functioning properly. How do I get it replaced?

  Note: We do not have any replacement parts available for door hardware products purchased prior to 1997.

  If you purchased Master Lock door hardware products after March 2, 2006, you can find more information regarding these products at www.masterlock.eu.
