Good To Know

Q: Does this post include the lanyard key? A: This listing is for the post only, so you will need your existing lanyard or a separately purchased key to complete the system. Q: Will a new post fix a no-start condition? A: If the issue traces to a worn or corroded post, replacing it can restore proper lanyard recognition, though other electrical faults should also be checked.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
