There’s never a good time to lose your canopy keys.
Whether you’ve just finished work, you’re loading up for a camping trip, or you’re trying to grab your tools before the day starts, discovering your keys are missing can quickly become frustrating.
The good news is that losing your canopy key doesn’t always mean replacing the entire lock. If you have an EGR canopy, getting a genuine replacement key is often quicker and easier than most people expect.

Start by Checking Your Canopy Lock
The first thing to do is check your canopy lock for the key number.
Most genuine EGR canopy locks have a code stamped on the lock barrel. This code is used to match your replacement keys.
Once you have the number, ordering the correct replacement is usually a straightforward process.
Still Have One Key? Order a Spare
If you’ve only lost one key and still have another that works, now is the perfect time to order a spare.
Having a backup key at home can save plenty of hassle if your last key ever goes missing.
It’s a small purchase that can save a lot of inconvenience later on.

Lost Both Canopy Keys?
Don’t panic.
If both keys are missing, check whether the key number is still visible on the lock barrel.
If you can find the code, you’ll usually be able to order a genuine replacement pair without replacing the entire lock.
If the code can’t be read or the lock has been damaged, your nearest EGR dealer can help you work out the best solution.
Why Choose Genuine Replacement Canopy Keys?
Buying genuine replacement keys means you’re getting keys designed to suit your EGR canopy.
Rather than guessing which key might fit, genuine replacements are matched using your lock number, giving you confidence they’ll work as intended.
It’s also the best way to help keep your canopy secure.

- Keep a spare key somewhere safe at home.
- Save your key number in your phone or service records.
