Questions & Answers
The box must be open in order to change the combination on a push button lock box. Ten grey screws correspond to the ten pushbuttons on the inside of the front plate. A HEAD arrow can be found on those grey screws. The arrow HEAD must point to "on" for all of the numbers in your code, while the rest must point to "off." Before you attempt to set the code, you must be able to see the arrow head.
I'm sorry, but I won't be able to respond to that question right away. This was a gift for my father, so I bought it for him. To measure, I'd need to travel there. But I can assure you that it is a substantial and heavy box. At least two keys can be stored in this compartment. I'll have to take another look at it to see if there's anything else. Both keys are attached to separate latches on the back of the box's lid. The key is attached to the lid, and the code is 5 didgets. As a result of the weight of the lid, they had to be misplaced. We've used it a number of times for a variety of reasons. This is a fantastic box. This would be ideal for a senior citizen's residence.
My number is 001413, and I'm pretty sure a business card would be too big for it. Mine is just the right size to fit between my storm door and front door.
Yes, there are instructions. It does the job perfectly.

I've included a diagram that shows how to set the combination. If you're as confused as I was, I'll save you some time. br>br>Remove the plastic card from the back of the cover. br>br>Using the tab on that plastic piece as a screw driver, turn the screws that correspond to your combos 180 degrees. br>br>When you're done, the nearly invisible arrows on the numbers to your combo should be pointing down.
The open combination does not have a set order of numbers. You enter 5 to 8 numbers, lock the box, and then press the preset numbers in any order to open the door. You can learn how to open without a combination by watching a video on YouTube. I DUPLICATE IT by opening the door without knowing the combination. br>BOTTOM LINE: Get the rotating tumbler type if you need even a low-security box. br>Because of enlarging-in, I'm out the money for this useless item. g the mounting holes for the most secure installation It's useless before you learn it.
My mother has been a property manager for 40 years, and this type of lockbox has been around for as long as I can remember (30 years). It's not glamorous, but it gets the job done. We forgot the code to an old one, so I had to use a grinder to cut it open, which took a long time. Maybe 10 minutes. In terms of value, I don't think you can get much better. br>br>Ours is located on a covered deck at 9,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains, so it is exposed to cold temperatures and moisture. and it hasn't caused us any problems. br>br>However, my brother pointed out that instead of cutting the lock, I could have figured it out by trying 1,000 different combinations. However, I lacked the patience to do so. It's defeatable if someone spends some time experimenting with combos or hacking away at it. However, since there is no such thing as a perfect lock, you must weigh the risks and costs involved.
This key lock box is sturdy and well-made, and it was simple to program with a code. You can use anywhere from 4 to 8 There are seven numbers in total. In comparison to other lock boxes, I like how the lock mechanism in this box is more intricate. Even if you could reach it, you couldn't pick it or shimmy it with a thin piece of metal to push down the lock. It will only depress once the correct code has been entered. I appreciate the engineers' consideration of a safety measure. I only intend to use the key if I lock myself out by accident. To keep the key from corroding, I sprayed it with WD40 and wrapped it in a cut-off piece of ziploc plastic. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative Invest in higher-quality, longer-lasting screws.
When I was younger, I had a lock box similar to this, and it served me well for many years - I assumed we'd get the same kind when we moved in case we needed it again - After a month of hiding it under a covered outdoor sofa to avoid the elements, the day came when I forgot my keys at work and had to bike home - Unfortunately, despite the fact that the lock had worked for a month, it would not open with the correct code - The mechanism was unable to clear even the smallest of obstructions. So now I'm holding my keys hostage in a box, which kind of defeats the purpose.
This is a fantastic lockbox. My garage door is usually controlled by a keypad. At this time, I don't have one. In the last two years, I've locked myself out several times. I paid $60 the first time I did it. I lost a screen for the second time. My next-door neighbor now has a key to the house, but he isn't always there. For me, this is the ideal solution. br>br>The construction of this lockbox is excellent. It only took 2 minutes to complete the installation. with three screws br>br>There are no limits to what you can do with combinations. It is simple to accomplish. If you needed to, you could change it every day. No batteries are required for this device. br>br> br>br>This is something I'll never have to replace.

You're driving a new car, and you've been too lazy to program the key fob with your keys. ANDDDDD the hidden key isn't where it's supposed to be on the rock. You've got an old lockbox on the backporch, but the combination around the dial was a sticker, and it's fallen off, so you can't open the dial on the lockbox. Thankfully, Hubby discovered an open window and crawled inside! So, in order to avoid a situation like this, I bought a pushbutton lockbox and installed it on the house. We haven't had to use it yet, but it has always worked flawlessly when I've tested it. It now houses one of the ten keys I had cut at Home Depot the day after I was locked out (the keyhero app is also a great back-up in case you get locked out again). This lockbox is extremely sturdy and long-lasting. I believe we will be able to use it for many years.
Be cautious when purchasing something online. My lock did not survive even one change of the combination; I tested it immediately afterward and it worked, but only for two days. Apart from my inability to access the keys, I'm not sure what happened. For this product, I looked into hacks, but they only apply to 'lost' combinations. The code is in my possession! Something else is going on, and no other options have proven to be effective. My friend, who works as a property manager, uses these locks, and two of the ten she has have also failed. Now it's my turn; buyer beware! They're great when they work, but you might end up having to sledgehammer your exterior wall to get rid of a useless lock box, and I guess there's no way to get a refund now.
