Home and Office Security Safes
Opening Your Safe for the First Time Using
the Pre-set Factory Code.
Batteries have been pre- installed at the factory. Using the
factory pre-set Passcode 159A, open the safe as follows:
1. Enter the three digit number 159 on the keypad followed
by the letter A. If entered correctly, the green LED will light
and the lock will click.
2. Pull the handle open within 5 seconds and open
the door.
3. A red LED indicates that the Passcode was entered
incorrectly. Re-enter the code and try again.
Security Lockout:
The safe is designed to lock out the keypad if the wrong Passcode is entered
multiple times.
• After the 3rd error: 20 second lock-out. (waiting period)
• 4-6 errors: 5 minute lock-out.
• 7+ errors: 1 hour lock-out.
If you have forgotten the Passcode, entry can be made using the Emergency
Override Key. (See page 7).
Important:
If no action is taken, the safe will automatically relock in 5 seconds and the code
will need to be re-entered.
Closing Your Safe
1. Make sure nothing inside the safe is obstructing the door from completely
closing.
2. Close the safe door and press the handle into the locked position.
Important:
This safe is equipped with an interior light. The control switch is located on the
inside door panel. When closing the safe it is important that the light switch be
turned to the off position. Failure to do so will drain the batteries of power and
the safe will not open when the digital key pad is used.

Installing Your Wall Safe
Location
Your Honeywell Wall Safe should be mounted in an obscure location such as a
bedroom or hall closet and must be installed in a 2’ x 4’ or thicker framed wall. Be
sure that no plumbing pipes or electrical wires run through the wall cutout area
where your wall safe is to be located and that there is room to swing the safe door
open without obstruction. The Wall Safe is 14 inches wide and designed to fit
between standard 16 inch center-to-center wall framing.
Note: Most homes have wall framing construction of 2 x 4’s and/or 2 x 6’s that are
located on 16-inch centers.
Tools Required for Installation
• Tape measure
• Pencil
• Drill
• Jig saw or equivalent
• Building square
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flashlight
NOTE: Instructions shown are for wood framed wall installation.
Installation for aluminum or steel stud walls may require pre-drilling and/or
alternative mounting screws.
Customer Support
Your Safe’s Unique Identification Numbers
When contacting Customer Service, you should be prepared to supply some
important information that specifically identifies your safe. This information is
extremely important to assuring prompt and accurate customer assistance.
It is strongly recommended that you identify and record the following information
in the “Safe Identification Record” form located on the inside back cover of this
manual:
Model Number
Serial Number
Key Number
Locating Model and Serial Numbers
Most Honeywell safes include a small metallic silver or gray tag affixed to one
of the surfaces. This tag is usually located on the front or right side of the safe.
This tag contains the Serial Number, and on selected models a similar tag is
attached containing the Model Number. If a Model Number tag is not attached
to the safe, then it can be located on the front or side panel of the box that the
safe was packaged in. Write this number down for future reference.
Key Number
The Key Number is located on the key. If you do not have the key, the number
is also located on a sticker on the inside of the Emergency Override Key lock
cover. (See Emergency Override Key, page 6)
Important: DO NOT REMOVE TAGS!
In case your safe becomes inoperable or you lose your keys, these identification
numbers will be needed to correct the problem. It is recommended that the
number tags remain in place on the safe. If removal is necessary, then they
should be attached to the inside back cover of the Operation and Installation
Guide. Store in a safe and secure place for future reference.

Installing Your Wall Safe
STEP 1- Wall Cutout
1. Determine the approximate location of the stud for the right hand side of your
Wall Safe (hinge side). Drill or cut a large enough pilot hole to determine
where the inside edge of this stud is located.
2. Using a building square, draw a vertical pencil line 21 1/8 inches long along
the inside edge of the stud. This will locate the right hand (hinged) side of
the safe.
3. From the top of your scribed line, measure 14 inches to the left and make a
pencil mark. Repeat this measurement at the bottom of the vertical line. With
the building square, draw a vertical line between the pencil marks locating the
left side of the safe.
4. With the square, draw a horizontal line at the top of the 21 1/8 inch
measurement joining the two vertical lines. Repeat this action at the bottom.
You should now have a 14 inch x 21 1/8 inch rectangle scribed on the wall
between studs.
5. Using a jig saw or equivalent tool and starting at the pilot hole, cut along the
pencil lines and remove the wall section.
Use, Care and Maintenance
Safe Care and Maintenance
When properly maintained, your safe will continue to operate and accurately
read the authorized Passcode for many years. In order to ensure optimum
performance of your safe, please follow these simple precautions:
Replace Batteries – For best results and performance, we recommend that the
batteries be replaced at least once a year or sooner depending on amount of
use.
Clean Hands - Never attempt to operate the digital keypad if your hands have
excessive dirt, debris or liquids on them.
Clean Safe – To clean the surface of your safe, it is recommended that you
use a mild cleaner (i.e., window cleaner) to avoid scratching or discoloring the
surface. Always wipe dry and NEVER use abrasive cleansers on the safe or
digital keypad.
For future reference, store this Operation and Installation Guide in a secure area
away from the safe. DO NOT DISCARD!
Caution:
With a flashlight, look through the pilot hole and make sure there are
no electrical wires or plumbing in the cutout area before you start
cutting.

Step 2 - Install Safe
Once safe has been placed into position in the wall cutout,
secure into place by screwing 4 wood screws (included) through
the four recessed holes in the front flange of Safe and into studs.
Tighten screws flush with flange.
3. Select the expandable shelf extensions that will work best with
the depth of the installed safe and using small screws and nuts,
secure into place.
1. Install your wall safe into the wall cutout so that the hinge side of the safe is
flush against the right hand stud and the front flange is flat against the wall.
With the safe door open, extend the telescoping back by pushing it from
the inside until maximum possible depth is achieved. Once the back is
extended, install six wood screws (included) through the pre-drilled holes in
right hand side of safe and into stud. Tighten safe flush to stud. Do not over
tighten screws.
2. Now install six screws (included) through the pre-drilled holes in left hand side
of safe and into stud. Do not over tighten.
NOTE: There may be a slight amount of space between the safe side wall
and the left hand stud, this is normal. The right hand hinged side of your wall
safe must be tightened flush to the right hand stud.
Checking, Changing and Installing
New Batteries
Your new safe arrived with 4-AA batteries pre-installed at the factory. It is important
to periodically check the batteries and, if necessary, replace with a new set.
Checking Batteries
1. Locate the B key on the keypad and press.
2. If the yellow LED flashes and you hear a beep, the batteries
are good.
3. If the red LED flashes, change the batteries within two
months.
4. If the LED does not light, then you must replace the
batteries immediately.
5. Proceed to Changing and Installing New Batteries.
Changing and Installing New Batteries
1. Using your personal Passcode or Emergency Override
Key, open the safe door and locate the battery
compartment on the back of the door.
2. Press firmly in on the right side of the battery compartment
cover and slide to the left to open.
3. Remove the 4 old batteries and replace with 4 new
Alkaline “AA” batteries. Make sure that they are installed
in the proper direction as illustrated on the battery
compartment interior.
4. Replace the cover and, prior to closing, test your
Passcode as instructed on page 6.
NOTE: Proper disposal of discharged batteries is encouraged!
Important:
Replacing the batteries will not erase your personal Passcode from memory. However,
weak or dead batteries will prevent the use of the digital key pad. Access to the safe
will have to be made using the Emergency Override Key. (See page 7).
