5. Operating the Combination Lock

Your Lock'er Down EXxtreme Console Safe is equipped with a 4-digit combination lock for secure access.

Setting Your Combination:

The safe comes with a factory-set combination, usually indicated on a sticker or tag. It is highly recommended to change this to a personal combination immediately after installation.

1. Open the Safe: Use the current combination to open the safe door.
2. Locate Reset Mechanism: Inside the safe door, locate the reset button or lever. This is typically a small button or a lever that needs to be pushed or moved.
3. Set New Combination: While holding the reset mechanism (or with it in the reset position), rotate the dials to your desired 4-digit combination. Choose a memorable but secure combination.
4. Release Reset Mechanism: Release the reset button or return the lever to its original position.
5. Test New Combination: With the safe door open, scramble the dials and then enter your new combination to ensure it opens correctly. Do this several times before closing the safe.

Opening the Safe:

1. Rotate the dials to align with your 4-digit combination.
2. Turn the knob or handle to unlock the safe.
3. The spring-assisted hinge will help lift the lid for easy access.

6. Maintenance

The Lock'er Down EXxtreme Console Safe is built for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Following these simple guidelines will help ensure its longevity and continued performance:

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the safe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the powder coat finish.
• Lock Mechanism: Periodically check the combination lock dials for smooth operation. If they become stiff, a small amount of graphite powder (not oil-based lubricants) can be applied to the mechanism, but this is rarely needed.
• Hinges: The spring-assisted hinges are designed for long-term use. If any squeaking occurs, a small amount of silicone spray lubricant can be applied to the hinge pins.
• Interior: Keep the interior of the safe clean and free of debris to prevent interference with the locking mechanism or damage to stored items.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Lock'er Down EXxtreme Console Safe, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Safe Will Not Open with Combination:
  • Ensure you are entering the correct 4-digit combination. Double-check each digit.
  • Verify that the dials are precisely aligned with the indicator mark.
  • If you recently changed the combination, ensure you followed all steps correctly and tested it before closing the safe.
• Lid is Stiff or Does Not Open Smoothly:
  • Check for any obstructions around the lid or hinges.
  • Apply a small amount of silicone spray lubricant to the hinge pins if necessary.
• Safe Feels Loose After Installation:
  • Re-check all mounting hardware to ensure it is securely tightened.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Lock'er Down customer support for further assistance.
