If your safe is equipped with a factory installed electronic lock, instructions for the lock are inside the safe. No maintenance is required for the electronic lock, other than changing the battery by following the directions in the lock instructions.
You should immediately change the combination of the electronic lock from the factory default code. The lock instructions outline the process to program a new electronic lock combination.
Important: Record the combination you select, as the factory will not have any record of the combination you choose. If you forget the combination on your electronic lock there is no easy way to open the safe, so please record the new combination in one or more secure locations outside the safe.
You still must record the serial number of the safe with an electronic lock as it will be required for any warranty or service needs.

Should your keylock stick or be difficult to turn, you can put a small drop of light oil on the key before inserting it into the keyway.
