Resetting the Combination on Your La Gard Safe

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

This might be a good time to replace the battery. The battery is located under the keypad in the first two dials above . The dial lifts up but it can take some effort to do so. The battery is inside the safe on the 3rd dial. If your battery is weak or dead, you can temporarily open the safe by holding a fresh battery against the terminal posts on the left side of the keypad face.

1. With the safe door OPEN and the bolts on the side of the safe all the way out, press the 0 button six times.

2. Enter the old combination.

3. Enter the new 6 digit combination.

4. Enter the new combination again.

5. Test the new combination and work the bolts in and out 3 or more times BEFORE closing and locking the door.

This means turn the safe handle to retract the bolts during each test cycle.

OPEN Door--- Press 000000 + Old Number + New Number + New Number---Test, Test, Test -- Close 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.
