(Figure 2, page 9) and mark the location through
the holes in the safe floor.
3 Remove the safe and drill holes in the floor with
a
5
/16" wood bit.
4 Reposition the safe over the holes and install the
lag bolts and washers through the safe floor.
5 Fill the 2" openings in the fire-resistant material
with high temperature silicone caulking. The
caulking will seal the opening and prevent hot
gases from entering the safe during a fire. (Not
required on models that are not fire-resistant.)
6 Replace the floor panel, elevation brace (if
equipped) and interior shelving.
OPERATING THE DIAL
COMBINATION LOCK
OPENING THE SAFE
1 Turn the dial counterclockwise (left) four times,
passing the first number in your combination
three times and stopping on it the fourth time.
2 Turn the dial clockwise (right) three times,
passing the second number in your combination
two times and stopping on it the third time.
3 Turn the dial counterclockwise (left) two times,
passing the third number in your combination
once and stopping on it the second time.
4 Turn the dial clockwise (right) until it stops,
which is normally around 86.
5 Turn the safe handle clockwise to open the
safe door.
IMPORTANT: If you miss any combination number
by more than 1 dial mark your safe will not open.
Make sure you are looking straight down at the
index marks. Make sure to align the numbers with
the center index line located at the 12 o’clock
position. If the safe does not open, try turning the
safe handle firmly counterclockwise before
re-dialing the combination.
LOCKING THE SAFE
1 Close the door with the locking bolts retracted.
2 Turn the safe handle counterclockwise (left) to
extend the bolts into the door frame after the
door is closed.
3 Turn the combination dial counterclockwise
(left) at least three times to lock the bolts
in place.
IMPORTANT: You must first close the door and
then turn your safe handle counterclockwise to
extend the bolts before turning the dial to properly
lock the door in place. If the dial is turned while the
door is open and the bolts are extended (handle
turned clockwise) the door will be “locked open.”
This is easily fixed by following the unlocking
procedure previously mentioned, immediately
followed by the locking procedure listed above.
TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM INADVERTENTLY
BECOMING LOCKED INSIDE YOUR SAFE, ALWAYS KEEP
YOUR SAFE IN A LOCKED CONDITION, EVEN IF YOUR
VALUABLES ARE NOT INSIDE. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
ELECTRONIC LOCKS
If your safe is equipped with a factory installed
electronic lock, instructions for the lock are inside
the safe. No maintenance is required for the
electronic lock, other than changing the battery by
following the directions in the lock instructions.
You should immediately change the combination of
the electronic lock from the factory default code.
The lock instructions outline the process to program
a new electronic lock combination.
IMPORTANT: Record the combination you select,
as the factory will not have any record of the
combination you choose. If you forget the
combination on your electronic lock there is no easy
way to open the safe, so please record the new
combination in one or more secure locations
outside the safe.
You still must record the serial number of the safe
with an electronic lock as it will be required for any
warranty or service needs.
