TESTING YOUR COMBINATION
IMPORTANT:
ONCE YOU HAVE SET YOUR COMBINATION THE DEFENDER KEY SAFE SHOULD BE TESTED THOROUGHLY BEFORE CLOSING THE LID.
Once the lid is closed you will
only
be able to open the key safe using the combination you have set.
•
Keeping the Defender Key Safe OPEN, enter the numbers in your combination using the large number buttons on the front of the lid.
•
When pressed these buttons will stay down.
•
Slide the open catch down.
•
If the combination has been set correctly the ‘open’ slide catch will slide down fully moving the latch of the lock.
When released the combination buttons will reset to their original position.
•
If the combination has been set incorrectly OR if the combination has been incorrectly entered the open slide catch will not move. In this
instance the combination settings and the combination entered should be checked and adjusted.
•
Slide down the C (cancel) button to reset the combination and try again.
•
ONLY when your combination has been entered successfully 3 times should you close the Defender Key Safe.
CHANGING YOUR COMBINATION
It is advised that you change the combination regularly. To reset the key safe:
•
Open your Defender Key Safe using your current combination. Make a note of the new combination you wish to use.
•
Using the Combination Setting Key, apply light pressure and turn all the metal dials (180°) of your previous combination so that the red
arrows all face towards the word RESET.
•
The Key Safe no longer has a combination set. Now follow the instructions for SETTING YOUR COMBINATION.
INSTALLATION
Before you start you will need the following items to install your key safe:
•
4 x thunderbolts (6mm x 50mm) - supplied
•
A power drill and extension lead
(or heavy duty battery operated power drill)
•
5mm masonry drill bit
•
Goggles or other suitable eye protection
Positioning your key safe
Your key safe should be carefully positioned so it is hidden from view. Typical locations might include: behind dustbins, plants,
plant pots, in dustbin bays, behind drain pipes, on the side or rear of the property or any other location that is out of sight.
Fixing your key safe
Select a flat area of wall in an area where you can drill into brick. Try not to drill into mortar as this can often crack and in any case
may allow the key safe to be prised off the wall. Ideally position your key safe across 2 or more bricks for maximum security.
Marking the wall
Using the base of the TPU cover as a template, mark 4 x hole positions onto the wall with a marker or pencil.
Drilling the brick
The holes that secure the thunderbolts must be drilled to at least 50mm.
It is essential that the holes are the correct depth - if
not it will prove very difficult to fit the key safe properly.
Using the tape measure determine a distance of 50mm from the tip of
the drill bit and wrap some tape around the bit to act as a marker. This should help you to drill to the correct depth and avoid
drilling the holes unnecessarily deep. Drill the four holes to the correct depth using the power drill.
Inserting the thunderbolts & fitting your key safe
Position your key safe and TPU base over the 4 holes and insert the thunderbolts through the holes and hand tighten.
Using your 8mm socket / ratchet / power drill carefully tighten the bolts. The bolts will “self tap” into the holes making the key safe
very secure. Do not over tighten as this may cause the key safe to distort in shape or the thunderbolts may bind into the metal of the
key safe.

IMPORTANT:
If the wall is not flat or if the thunderbolts are over tightened the key safe may distort. This will mean it may not close or open properly. This is
not a fault of the key safe and is not covered by warranty. In some cases the key safe may be rendered unusable. Care should be taken in
choosing a suitable even wall location and ensuring the fittings are not over tightened.
