Using these metal keyways is easy. First, pick the right size according to your concrete slab. For example, if you have a 4 - foot slab, choose the 3 - 1/2' size. Place the keyway in the appropriate position in your concrete flatwork before pouring the concrete. Make sure it's firmly in place to ensure proper load transfer. When handling the keyways, be careful as they might have sharp edges. Store them in a dry place to prevent rusting. If they do get a bit rusty, you can use a wire brush to clean them up. That's all you need to know to get the most out of your metal keyways.
