Owner’s Guide •

After you take ownership of a lockbox, you may want to customize some of its settings. Agents can use

Customize a Lockbox

in the

SentriLock Card Utility

to make changes to some of the settings on a particular

lockbox. For example, you can change the shackle code, homeowner DND code, and assign a lockbox to a
listing. If you do not customize your lockbox, it will use the settings from the

Agent Default Lockbox Settings

window.

If you would like to make changes that affect all of your lockboxes, for example, you may want to change the
shackle code on all of your lockboxes, you can make those changes on the

Agent Default Lockbox Settings

window. After you make changes on the

Agent Default Lockbox Settings

window, you need to renew your

SentriCard®. After you renew your SentriCard®, you need to update your lockboxes. To update your
lockboxes, insert your SentriCard® into each lockbox. This will update your lockboxes with the settings you
selected from the

Agent Default Lockbox Settings

window.

Note: after you customize a lockbox, you'll need to insert your SentriCard® into the lockbox. This will update
the lockbox with the settings you selected.

1. Insert your SentriCard® into the card reader.

2. The

SentriLock Card Utility
