7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the safe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Lock Mechanism: The mechanical lock requires minimal maintenance. If the key turns stiffly, a small amount of graphite lubricant (not oil) can be applied to the key and inserted into the lock.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Key does not turn or turns stiffly. | Obstruction in keyhole, worn key, or dry lock mechanism. | Ensure no debris is in the keyhole. Try the second key. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the key and insert into the lock. |
| Safe door does not open after unlocking. | Bolts not fully retracted, door stuck. | Ensure the key is turned fully clockwise. Gently pull the door. Do not force. |
| Safe feels loose after mounting. | Mounting screws are loose or not properly installed. | Tighten all mounting screws. If necessary, re-install the safe ensuring proper dowel and screw placement. |
