protective corners and adjust the two door tension
adjustment screws located inside of the door frame.
The tension adjustment screws apply pressure
against the locking bolts when the door is in the
closed position. The tension adjustment screws
should be adjusted until the door closes without
play between the door and frame. Do not over-
adjust the tension screws or your safe will not close.
The locking bolts will hit the adjustment screws. A
#3 Phillips screwdriver is required to adjust the
tension screws.
FIRE SEAL
The black plastic strip attached to the edge of your
safe door or frame is a fire seal that expands to seal
the door when heated by a fire. If you live in an area
with high humidity, you will not want your door to
close tightly against this seal. Air must circulate
through your safe or condensation will form on
your firearms causing rust. Loosen the door just
enough to allow some exchange of air. An electric
dehumidifier is highly recommended if your average
daily relative humidity is above 20%.
HINGES
Your door height is adjusted at the factory and
should not require any adjustment when new.
However, hinge adjustment bolts are located on the
bottom of each hinge to allow you to make
adjustments over time (Figure 3). This allows you to
raise and lower the door slightly as needed. Rotating
the Allen bolt counterclockwise (looking down at
the hinge) raises the door on its hinges. Both Allen
bolts (top and bottom hinges) should be turned
the same amount when adjusting the door.
HANDLE SLIP CLUTCH
The handle shaft of your safe connects to the
locking mechanism via a slip clutch. If excessive
force is applied to the handle, the handle will spin
freely. This feature provides additional security
against attempted break in. If excessive force is
applied to the handle in an effort to breach the
security of your safe, the handle will spin freely and
will not transmit the excessive force to the locking
mechanism or other vital components. If your
handle is misaligned due to excessive force being
applied, this can be corrected by rotating the handle
in the opposite direction that the original force was
applied to re-align the handle. With the proper
combination entered, the handle will continue to
operate normally to engage or disengage the locking
bolts to allow the safe to open or close.
SHELF ADJUSTMENT
Prior to adjusting any shelf, first remove all items
from that shelf.
STANDARD SHELVING
Standard Shelving is held in place by clips that
secure the shelves to four “tracks” on the side walls
of the safe interior. Some clips are above the shelves
and some are below. To remove a clip, squeeze it
together with hand pressure or pliers and lift up.
The shelves can be relocated along this track by
simply relocating the clips to the desired shelf
location. To replace a clip, insert the top lip of the
clip into the appropriate slot in the track, squeeze
the clip together and insert the bottom lip of the
clip into the track. It is important that all clips
supporting a particular shelf are located at the same
height to ensure that the shelf sits level.
THE GUN RACK IS FRAGILE AND CAN EASILY BE
BROKEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE IT OR
INSTALL IT IN A NEW LOCATION. DO NOT ATTEMPT
