What material is the key made from?

How do I know if this key will fit my valve?
You must check the dimensions of your specific valve or access point against the key's dimensions: triangle (8x3mm), circle (6x2mm), small square (6.11x6.11mm), and large square (8x8mm). If your valve matches these, it should fit.

Troubleshooting
Key does not fit the valve or lock.
Verify the dimensions of your valve or lock against the specifications of the DURATECH 4-way utility key (triangle: 8x3mm, circle: 6x2mm, small square: 6.11x6.11mm, large square: 8x8mm, screwdriver bit: PH2*9/32). The key may not be compatible with non-standard sizes.
Screwdriver bit is loose or damaged.
Inspect the screwdriver bit. If it is damaged, the tool may need to be replaced. Ensure proper use of the bit to avoid stripping or damage.
Tool appears to be rusting or corroding.
Wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth. Ensure it is stored in a dry environment. Minor surface rust can sometimes be removed with a fine steel wool, but avoid harsh chemicals.
Key is difficult to turn in the valve.
Ensure you are using the correct key size for the valve. Check the valve itself for debris or damage. Lubrication with a small amount of graphite powder might help if the valve mechanism is stiff, but avoid oily lubricants that attract dirt.
