Entry Lock
Digital Safe Locks – Forgotten Your Code?
Virtually all-modern safes have replaced dial locks with electronic keypad-entry locks. While it features more reliable, tamper-proof and burglar-proof locks, it is easy to use, along with its keypad number entry combination locks that makes it more secure as well. For one thing, it automatically goes into its lockdown mode, which means that it goes idle for 5 minutes. Aside from its great strength and security, it is also nice-looking; who wouldn’t want one of those modern James-Bond-technology inspired security gadgets installed in their homes?
While digital safe locks present a highly secure gadget, it also has its downsides. For one, it operates on power or batteries, which typically last up to one year. While battery recharge or replacement is expensive, it requires a certain amount of money for maintenance. Also, if the owner has pressed the wrong lock combination, they will have to wait 5 minutes to try pressing down the correct combination code. However, more difficulties or problems will be faced by the owner if the digital lock combination has been forgotten.
What should I do if I forgot my combo code?
• First, you need to remain calm so you can easily and clearly think of the many ways to solve the problem; take deep breaths.
• For some digital lock safe models, changing the number lock combo is easy. Instructions are provided on the user’s notes or owner’s manual that usually comes with the product when purchased. Consider using the defaults to crack the code.
• Some digital lock safes may have been provided with notes, manuals and papers; their manufacturer’s websites filled with helpful instructions, documents and papers; however, this poses a problem on which one to choose. Simply read through everything that you can find, to eventually find the solution to your problem.
• You haven’t found any piece of useful paper of your digital safe’s package; try reporting your problem to the manufacturer. You can contact manufacturers at their website or local offices. Send in a request for a tool key or a set of instructions on how to change your currently forgotten combination lock. While they do not keep records of safe combinations, they are the best group to consult on how to crack their own security codes.
• An alternative would be having the safe serviced by a qualified technician, the one that specifically fixes digital lock safes of the same brand.
In case of a lockdown due to forgotten digital lock code, many would give an advice to try remembering the other digits in the lock code and filling it in with random numbers. With dial locked safes, this method of cracking the code could work. However, the heightened security features of digital lock safes eliminate or do not support random entry of lock codes. Some brands may even have designed their digital lock safes to block all random combination entries after several attempts, for security reasons, unless serviced by the manufacturer.
The difficulties brought by forgotten digital lock codes emphasize the importance of using codes that you can be easily remembered. If you have difficulty retaining number codes, make use of numbers that mean something personally to you. Arrange it in a sequence that creates a pattern that rhythmically allows your mind to remember the code when needed.
