OPERATING & CHANGING INSTRUCTIONS – LOCK 1985 + 3330
Safes are shipped locked with the factory combination of 10-20-30.
CHANGING INDEX OPENING INDEX
When dialing a combination, if you passed the number
on which you intended to stop, you cannot reverse
the dial to correct. The opening procedure must be
repeated from the beginning.
DO NOT force the dial to turn. This may cause damage
to the lock.
A. OPEN LOCK WITH A SET COMBINATION: 10-20-30
Dial the set combination using the OPENING Index. Figure 1.
4 x Turn the dial LEFT (CCW) passing the first number in the combination (10)
three times. Then stop exactly on the number “10” the fourth time.
3x Turn the dial RIGHT (CW) passing the next number in the combination (20)
two times. Then stop exactly on the number “20” the third time.
2x Turn the dial LEFT (CCW) passing the last number in the combination (30)
one time. Then stop exactly on the number “30” the second time.
Turn the dial to the RIGHT (CW) until it stops and the bolt retracts.
B. CLOSE LOCK
When locking the safe, always turn the safe handle to the locked position (bolts extended)
before turning the lock dial four complete rotations to the LEFT (CCW) to relock. If you notice
any resistance, DO NOT force the dial to turn. This may cause damage to the lock.
C. SET COMBINATION
To change the combination, you will need to know the existing combination and have
a LA GARD change key.
1. Dial the existing combination using the CHANGING Index. (Figure 1.)
2. STOP the dial on the third number of the combination.
3. Insert the change key into the change key hole. (Figure 2.)

NOTE: If the change key does not go easily, the wheels are not aligned. Repeat steps 1 - 3.
4. Turn the change key to the RIGHT (CW) one-quarter turn until the key stops. Leave the
change key in the lock while setting new combination.
Figure 2.
CAUTION: When selecting a combination, choose a three number sequence from 0 - 99.
Never select numbers 0 to 20 as the LAST NUMBER of the combination. This is the
“Forbidden Zone” and can cause the lock to malfunction.
CAUTION: Numbers of the new code must have a mutual distance of at least 4 digits.
EXAMPLE combination: correct 49-45-41, incorrect 49-47-44.
5. Next turn the dial to the LEFT (CCW) at least four complete rotations to clear the lock. The
lock is now ready to accept the new combination.
6. Set the new combination using the CHANGING Index:
EXAMPLE combination: 25-50-75
4x Turn the dial LEFT (CCW) passing the first number in the combination (25)
three times. Then stop exactly on the number “25” the fourth time.
3x Turn the dial RIGHT (CW) passing the next number in the combination (50)
two times. Then stop exactly on the number “50” the third time.
2x Turn the dial LEFT (CCW) passing the last number in the combination (75)
one time. Then stop exactly on the number “75” the second time.
7. Hold the Dial to prevent movement and turn the change key to the left (CCW) one quarter
turn.
8. Remove the change key. The new combination is now set.
