How to Change the Combination on a Brinks Safe With a Digital Lock

Digital safes afford a lot of protection for your valuables; however, leaving the combination unchanged throughout the life of the safe makes it easier to break into. A thief could easily obtain parts of a combination by eavesdropping or even by examining fingerprints on a digital keypad. This is why it's a good idea to change the combination at least twice a year. Fortunately, "Brinks" safes, which are now sold under the "First Alert" name, allow you to change their combinations.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Open the safe using the current combination, and depress the red switch on the inside of the door.

   • 2

     Type in your desired combination (it should be no longer than 9 digits); then press the "#" key.

   • 3

     Test your new combination by turning the knob to the left, and typing the combination onto the keypad. Then press the "#" key. The latch should disengage.
