3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Choosing a Location
Select a discreet, solid surface for mounting, such as a brick wall or concrete. Ensure the location is easily accessible for authorized users but not obvious to potential intruders. While the safe includes a weather-resistant cover, choosing a sheltered spot can further protect it from extreme weather conditions.
3.2 Mounting the Key Safe
- Open the key safe to access the mounting holes on the back panel.
- Position the key safe against the chosen surface and mark the drilling points through the mounting holes.
- Drill pilot holes using an appropriate drill bit for your wall material.
- Align the key safe with the drilled holes and secure it using the provided mounting bolts. Ensure the safe is firmly attached and does not wobble.
3.3 Setting the Combination Code
The Keyguard XL features a mechanical push-button combination lock. The initial code is typically factory set or can be configured upon first use. Refer to the specific instructions provided inside the safe's packaging for detailed steps on how to set or change your personal combination code. It is crucial to record your code in a secure location and never share it with unauthorized individuals.
Note: For mechanical combination locks, if the code is forgotten, it cannot be reset without knowing the current code. Keep your code secure.
4. Operating the Key Safe
4.1 Opening the Key Safe
- Slide the weather-resistant cover upwards to expose the combination panel.
- Enter your pre-set combination by pressing the correct buttons.
- Turn the dial from 'CLOSE' to 'OPEN'.
- Pull the front cover downwards to open the safe.
4.2 Storing Keys
The Keyguard XL can hold approximately 5-7 Yale or Mortice keys. Place your keys on the internal hook provided. Ensure keys are not obstructing the closing mechanism.
4.3 Closing and Securing the Key Safe
- Push the front cover upwards until it clicks into place.
- Turn the dial from 'OPEN' to 'CLOSE'.
- Scramble the combination buttons by pressing a few random buttons to ensure the code is not visible.

5. Maintenance
The Keyguard XL is designed for durability. To ensure its longevity and proper function:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior and combination panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Weather Protection: Always ensure the weather-resistant cover is properly positioned over the combination panel when not in use to protect it from rain, dust, and extreme temperatures.
- Lubrication: Do not lubricate the internal locking mechanism unless specifically instructed by Burton Safes support.
Note: The key safe itself is not water resistant; its weather resistance relies on the provided cover. Ensure the cover is always in place when installed outdoors.
6. Troubleshooting
- Safe will not open:
- Ensure the correct combination is entered.
- Verify the dial is fully turned to the 'OPEN' position.
- Check for any obstructions preventing the door from opening.
- Safe will not close:
- Ensure no keys or other items are obstructing the closing mechanism.
- Verify the dial is fully turned to the 'CLOSE' position after closing.
- Combination buttons are stiff:
- Clean the buttons and surrounding area to remove any dirt or debris.
- Ensure the weather cover is used to prevent environmental exposure.
- Forgotten Combination:
