So I got this drop safe from a subway store in Austin. For $100.
I don't need it I might just throw my bedside gun in the bottom and pull it out at night I don't know what I would do with the rest of the safe which I know is just a little box I have other safes that are "real". I could just put 400 pounds of lead in it and have it be a bait safe  both top is a combination Sergeant and Greenleaf. And it works well but it feels a little dry The bottom electronic is also S&G The woman did not have the combination for it and the battery inside is dead. I ordered a package of 9 V batteries off Amazon because I'm not gonna fight on Saint Patricks Day. that's sad there is a gouge in the keypad the # and * don't have a great tactile feel along with the 4 everything else feels good and I can hear an audible click. is there anything I should look at? Is there any way to reprogram it I can take it up part as far as I need to. Or should I just order a new one off Amazon? |

The bottom is locked open, I am waiting for barratries before I mess with it. I hope some one here can walk me though re programing it.... |

The fact that the blocking plate behind the electronics has been removed it makes me think that someone has tried to fix it before so I think it may be DOA

Don't put a battery in that lock, or else it will not be locked open for long.
If you want to use that compartment as a locked section, have a new lock installed. If you don't care if it locks remove the lock and relock and then use it that way. |

So there is no way I can do any kind of master reset the electronics just need to be junked? also I can't find an exact match on Amazon I'm a little confused on which model I have I know it's from 2003 I guess this one is discontinued can you help me out and let me know which digital keypad will fit in its place? Photos will be in the next post |

Quote HistoryQuoted: you are right, which model is a direct replacement? Your picture doesn't show a PN or the bolt so I couldn't tell you. There are quite a few people here who know lightyears more then me so if they want to object I'll gladly bow to them. If your wanting to go electronic there are two main things to look for. swing bolt or deadbolt. Some are not standard lengths but you could measure the bolt and mounting holes you have and match a spec. Relocker configuration can also matter but if you're capable of taking on this project you should be able to figure that part out. MBAUSA carries everything. look there for new. places like eBay you'll find some that will be cheaper but the risk of getting one with issues goes way up. id stay clear of the AMSEC ESL5 series lock ETA no matter what route you go .... really look at fitment and function b4 you shut and lock the door. cycle everything many times and visually look at the operation |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I really appreciate any help I can get I might try switching the combination lock I have because it looks pretty dang close and if that means it will fit that probably means it's the universe. I am just looking for something that's why I was mainly looking at Amazon Photos in the next post let me know if you need anything else thank you Look for a Sargent 6120 that is not a swing bolt another option would be an AMSEC ESL10 |

You could likely get by with a swingbolt on that. If you wanted to keep it "the way it is" then most electronic lock manufacturers offer a square bolt lock. Some retract themselves, others require you to twist the keypad to retract.
The AMSEC ESL-10 mentioned above would be a pretty straight forward replacement so long as the spindle hole in the door is large enough to slide the connector through (it looks big enough in the photo). |

I still am not sure what the Swing bolt means? is that the Shark fin bolt? My Visa rewards is switching to amazon for 5% starting march so I will order it then |
