Setup Instructions
1. Unpacking and Contents
Carefully remove the key safe cabinet from its packaging. Verify that all components are present:
- Helix Key Safe Cabinet (1)
- Keys for the cabinet lock (2)
- Key tags (quantity sufficient for 150 keys)
- Mounting hardware (screws and wall plugs)
2. Wall Mounting
The Helix Key Safe Cabinet is designed for secure wall mounting. Choose a suitable location on a solid wall that can support the weight of the cabinet and its contents.
- Hold the cabinet against the desired wall location and mark the positions for the mounting holes. Ensure the cabinet is level before marking.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked positions using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., masonry bit for brick, wood bit for studs).
- Insert the provided wall plugs into the drilled holes. Tap gently with a hammer if necessary until they are flush with the wall surface.
- Align the cabinet's mounting holes with the wall plugs and secure the cabinet to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.
Operating Instructions
1. Locking and Unlocking
- To Unlock: Insert one of the provided keys into the cylinder lock and turn it clockwise. The cabinet door will open.
- To Lock: Close the cabinet door. Insert the key into the cylinder lock and turn it counter-clockwise until the lock engages. Remove the key and store it in a secure, separate location.
2. Organizing Keys
The cabinet includes color-coded key tags for efficient key organization.
- Attach each key to a key tag using the split ring.
- Write a clear label on the paper insert of each key tag to identify the corresponding key (e.g., "Main Office," "Warehouse," "Front Door").
- Hang the key tags onto the metal hooks inside the cabinet. The hooks are numbered for systematic arrangement, allowing for easy identification and retrieval.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the cabinet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, which may damage the powder-coated finish.
Lock Care
Periodically, apply a small amount of graphite powder or a silicone-based lubricant to the lock mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and debris, potentially causing the lock to jam over time.
Troubleshooting
Cabinet Will Not Open
- Ensure you are using one of the correct keys provided with the cabinet.
- Check if the key is fully inserted into the lock and turned completely.
- If the lock feels stiff, try applying a small amount of graphite powder to the keyhole and gently wiggling the key.
Keys Do Not Hang Properly
- Ensure key fobs are not excessively large or heavy, which might cause them to slip off the hooks.
- Distribute keys evenly across the hooks to prevent overcrowding on individual hooks.
