Operating Instructions
Setting the Combination:
The key safe comes with a factory preset combination (usually 0000). You can easily change this to your preferred 4-digit code.
- Open the Safe: Enter the current combination (factory preset or your last set code) and pull down the front cover to open the safe.
- Locate Reset Lever: Inside the safe, usually on the back of the door or near the combination mechanism, locate the reset lever or switch.
- Move Reset Lever: Move the reset lever to the "SET" or "RESET" position (often a small switch or screw that needs to be turned 90 degrees).
- Set New Combination: While the lever is in the reset position, rotate the dials to your desired 4-digit combination. Choose a memorable but secure code.
- Return Reset Lever: Move the reset lever back to its original "LOCK" or "NORMAL" position.
- Test New Combination: Close the safe, scramble the dials, and then enter your new combination to ensure it opens correctly. Do this several times before fully relying on the new code.
Accessing and Storing Keys:
- Open Safe: Enter your 4-digit combination and pull down the front cover.
- Store/Retrieve Keys: Place or remove keys from the internal magnetic hook. The magnetic feature helps keep keys securely in place and prevents them from falling out when the safe is opened.
- Close Safe: Push the front cover back up until it clicks securely into place.
- Scramble Dials: Always scramble the combination dials after closing the safe to prevent unauthorized access.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Phoenix Safe KS0001C Key Safe, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the scratch-resistant finish.
- Combination Dials: Periodically rotate the combination dials to ensure they move freely. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied, but avoid oil-based lubricants.
- Environmental Exposure: While the high-strength cast alloy is resistant to harsh weather, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions (e.g., direct rain, freezing temperatures) may affect the combination mechanism over time. Consider a sheltered location for outdoor installation.
- Check Mounting: Regularly check that the key safe remains securely mounted to the wall. Tighten any loose bolts if necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Key safe will not open. | Incorrect combination entered. Dials not aligned correctly. | Ensure each number on the dial is precisely aligned with the indicator mark. Double-check your combination. If you forgot the combination, there is no master key or override; you will need to try combinations or contact support. |
| Dials are stiff or hard to turn. | Accumulation of dirt or debris. Lack of lubrication. | Clean the dials with a soft cloth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the dials. |
| Key safe does not close securely. | Keys obstructing the closing mechanism. Debris in the latch. | Ensure keys are fully seated on the magnetic hook and not protruding. Check for any obstructions in the latch area and clear them. |
| Combination reset lever is stuck. | Mechanism is dirty or jammed. | Gently try to move the lever. Do not force it. If it remains stuck, contact customer support. |
