3.3 Securing the Cabinet

To ensure the security of your keys:

1. Close the cabinet door firmly. A built-in magnet will help keep the door shut.
2. Insert the key into the lock cylinder and turn it counter-clockwise to the locked position.
3. Remove the key and store it in a safe, separate location.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and functionality of your key lock box:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the exterior and interior surfaces of the key box with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
• Lock Mechanism: Keep the key lock mechanism clean and free from dust or debris. If the lock becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the keyhole.
• Mounting: Periodically check the wall mounting screws to ensure they remain tight and secure.

4.1 Safety Information

Always use appropriate safety gear when handling and assembling the cabinet. Ensure the cabinet is securely mounted to the wall to prevent it from tipping over. Do not attempt to force open the cabinet door as it is designed to resist tampering and forced entry. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe use and maintenance.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Uniclife Key Lock Box, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Door not closing properly: Check for any keys or tags obstructing the door's path. Ensure the cabinet is mounted level on the wall.
• Key difficult to turn in lock: Ensure the key is fully inserted. Check for any debris in the keyhole. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant if necessary.
• Keys crowding or tangling: Utilize the wider hook spacing for larger keys. Ensure each key is placed on its designated hook.
