7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the key safe with a damp cloth to remove dirt or dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Weather Resistance: The key safe is designed to be water and weather resistant. However, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions may affect its lifespan. Periodically inspect the safe for any signs of wear or water ingress.
• Lubrication: If the dials become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts.

8. Troubleshooting

• Safe will not open with the correct code:
      - Ensure all dials are perfectly aligned with the numbers of your combination.
      - Try rotating the dials back and forth a few times to clear any internal mechanism issues, then re-enter the code.
• Cannot set a new code:
      - Make sure the safe is fully open and the reset lever is completely pushed to position 'B' before setting the new code.
      - Ensure the reset lever is returned to position 'A' after setting the new code.
• Safe feels loose on the wall:
      - Check the mounting screws and tighten them if necessary. If the wall plugs are damaged, consider re-mounting in a slightly different spot or using new, stronger wall anchors.
