4.2 Setting Your Personal Combination
To set a new, personal combination:
- With the lock box open and the current combination set (e.g., 0-0-0), locate the reset button or lever inside the lock mechanism. This is typically a small button or a lever that needs to be pushed in or moved.
- While holding the reset button/lever, rotate the dials to your desired 3-digit combination. Choose a memorable but secure combination.
- Release the reset button/lever. Your new combination is now set.
- Important: Scramble the dials immediately after setting your new combination and test it with the box open to ensure it works correctly before closing the box.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the lock box with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Lubrication: The lock mechanism generally does not require lubrication. If it feels stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant (not oil) can be applied sparingly to the moving parts of the latch.
- Storage: Store the lock box in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage.
