Resetting the Combination on Your Sargent and Greenleaf Safe

If your Electronic Lock looks like any of these, please follow these instructions:

This might be a good time to replace the batteries. The batteries are usually located under the keypad. The dial pulls straight out but it can take some effort to do so. Some dials have a battery holder at the bottom of the keypad. It can be hard to locate and it can take some effort to release the black plastic holder.

1. With the door OPEN and the door bolts out, press the digits "7" and "4" followed by the "*" key to enter the code changing mode.

2. Enter the existing code (old number) on the keypad, followed by the "#" key. Listen for five beeps, which indicate that the lock is ready for the combination changing.

3. Press the digit "1" followed by the "*" key.

4. Enter the new 6 digit code and then press the "#" key. Upon pressing the "#" key, the lock will emit three beeps, indicating a successful entry of the new code.

5. Enter the new code again followed by the "#" key to verify the new six-digit combination. Listen for another three beeps, indicating that the second entry of the new code matches the first entry. The new combination is now ready for use.

6. Test the new combination and work the bolts in and out 3 or more times BEFORE closing and locking the door.This means turning the safe handle to retract the bolts during each test cycle.

7. Close the door.

Note: Some safes have detents on the hinged side of the door or on the opposite end. You must manually press this rod or clip in to release the bolts to allow testing of the lock. The rod is hidden on the edge of the door and is usually located about the middle of the door on the hinged side.
