Functions

Two user codes, One "manager" and one "employee" code. You can only change the user code if you know the master code.

Battery powered

This code lock is powered by a normal 9V battery. Our experience tell us to recommend you to use Duracell Ultra Power batteries for best possible lifetime and performance.
The approximate operating time for a battery in this type of code lock is 1-2 years for average use.
If the battery runs out it is easily replaced from the outside of the cabinet.
The user code is stored in the lock and remains
regardless of how long the safe has been out of power.

Why a battery powered code lock?

There are many advantages with electronic code locks. To give some examples, you don't need to carry any keys around, there is no risk of loosing keys, and you never get tempted to hide keys, which comes with great risk.
In addition, if several persons are suppose to have access to the cabinet, a code lock can drastically simplify the use of the cabinet for all since codes, in contrast to keys, will always be accessible when needed.
Only those with a code have access to the cabinet's content, while a key might easily end up in the hands of some unauthorised.

Security perks of choosing a code lock!

There are multiple security advantages with a code lock compared to keys. Firstly, since high security keys are often long and bulgy (sometimes with double axes) they are quite uncomfortable to carry around.
This issue often results in ill-fated hiding of keys somewhere in the vicinity of the cabinet.
Many burglars are unfortunately well aware of this practice, which of course means that there is a very high risk they will find your "hidden" keys.

Lastly, if you lose a key, there is always a risk of it ending up in the wrong hands, which subsequently of course allow for silent and easy access to the content until it is noted that the key is missing.

Economical perks of choosing a code locks

Security keys are copy protected for obvious reasons.
or if that isn't possible, completely changed, which of course is even more costly.
With a code lock on the other hand you can just tell more people about the code or change the code/codes if a code ends up with the wrong people. Very easy and completely free of cost!

Choose between two lock options
By changing code and digits occasionally (e.g. 3-5 times a year) you will increase the level of security immensely. On the one hand by decreasing the risk of unauthorised getting hold of the right code, and on the other hand by avoiding potential unequal wear of the keypad buttons.
Code locks are also safer since there is firstly no risk of loosing keys, and secondly no risk that burglars will start searching for keys if they see a code lock, which can save you the cost of a trashed office due to the aggressive searching for keys.

Anchoring of the safe

Therefore, we recommend that everyone who purchases cabinets with electronic code locks change codes / numbers at least 3-5 times a year.

Avoid economical damage due to searches for "hidden" keys!

If a thief sees a safe with key lock, there is a great risk that they will suspect that the keys are hidden somewhere in the vicinity of the safe.
This will, in light of their scarce time, likely often result in an aggressive and careless search for the keys, which subsequently will result in chaos and damage to your property (even if there are no hidden keys to be found).
The cost of such damage can quickly surpass the additional cost of choosing code lock instead of key lock.

Chances are that the burglar will turn around in the doorway if they see a safe with code lock, while the opposite is likely true if they see a key lock instead.
