Use kilit for a lock and build its forms before vowel-initial endings.
The idea
The noun kilit means lock. Its final t usually becomes d before an ending beginning with a vowel: kilidi can be the lock as a definite object or someone's lock, and kilidim means my lock. Before the consonant-initial plural ending, t remains: kilitler.
Examples
- Kilidi dün tamir ettim.I repaired the lock yesterday.
- Bu kilidi kim açtı?Who opened this lock?
- Yedek kilidimiz burada.Our spare lock is here.
- Kapının kilidi bozuk.The lock on the door is broken.
- İki kilit satın aldık.We bought two locks.
- Kilitler çekmecede.The locks are in the drawer.

Watch out
Do not keep t in these forms: write kilidi and kilidim, not kiliti or kilitim. After a number, use singular iki kilit without the plural ending.
