Steve’s Lock, Safe and Alarm
Safe won’t open? Keypad dead, beeping, or locked out? Find the picture that matches the lock on your safe and tap it. Each guide shows how to open the safe, change the battery, change the code and what the beeps and lights mean, with a link to the manufacturer’s full instructions.
- 1. Match
Look at your safe’s keypad or dial and find the closest picture below. - 2. Tap
Open that lock’s guide. The page tells you what your model looks like so you can be sure. - 3. Follow
Step-by-step instructions, plus the official manual to download.
Before anything else, check these three things
- Fresh alkaline batteries. Weak batteries are the most common reason a keypad safe will not open. Use new alkaline batteries, not rechargeables or old ones from a drawer. We recommend Procell.
- Handle position. On many locks, pressure from the safe’s bolts on the lock bolt stops it from retracting. Turn the handle fully to the locked position, then enter the code again.
- Don’t keep guessing. Most electronic locks shut down for several minutes (sometimes 15) after a few wrong codes. Wait it out instead of pressing more keys.
AMSEC
AMSEC safes use these electronic locks. The ESL5, ESL10 and ESL15 keypads have a C key to clear and a # key to enter. The ESLAudit and SafeWizard have screens. The last guides cover the locks on AMSEC’s smaller home, hotel and fingerprint safes.

Mechanical dial locks
No batteries and no keypad: just a dial. This guide covers how to dial a combination open.
Quick answers
Why won’t my safe open even though the keypad beeps?
Usually one of two things: batteries that are strong enough to run the keypad but too weak to drive the lock’s motor or solenoid, or pressure from the safe’s bolts on the lock bolt. Replace the batteries, and turn the handle fully to the locked position before you enter the code.
Will I lose my code when I change the battery?
Usually not, but it depends on the lock. Sargent & Greenleaf says its locks keep your codes during a battery change, and AMSEC stores the code in permanent memory. Burg-Wächter Basic, Smart and Universal safes are the exception: you must set the code again after the batteries go in. Each guide says what applies to that lock.
Where is the battery?
It depends on the lock. Some keypads twist off the door, some have a sliding cover, and some are inside the door. Each guide shows where yours is.
How often should I change the battery?
Most manufacturers recommend once a year, with fresh alkaline batteries, to avoid corrosion from leaking batteries.
I forgot my code. Can you help?
Please do not keep trying: repeated wrong codes trigger a lockout. Call us and we will go over your options.
Don’t see your keypad?
Your lock may not be listed yet. Send us a photo or call and we will tell you what it is and how to work it. If you can read a name or model number on the keypad, that helps too.
Need a hand?
Still stuck? We can help.

These steps summarize the manufacturers’ own instructions; your lock may be a different version, so if anything here does not match what your lock does, follow your manual or call us. Always change codes with the safe door open, and test the new code several times before you close the door.
