CHANGING COMBINATION (M-SERIES LOCK)

Introduction: Changing your combination can usually be done in less than ﬁ ve minutes.

Of the 8 numbers possible, 4 numbers will need to be used for your custom combination.

Factory combination is 1 - 2 - 7 - 8. Also, before setting the new combination, we recommend

you record the new four digit code on page 10 of this manual.

GETTING STARTED

1. Remove both Phillips screws (one on each side of the

box) and slide the metal cover vertically.

2. Pull the lock module out as shown (no hardware

disassembly required).

3. Once the combination pin box is removed, use your

thumb to push the center gray slide and either the

left or right unlock button to release the spring

pressure, on all 8 pins (buttons facing up).

4. While holding these two buttons, pull out the A, B, C,

and D pins (stamped on side of the pins).

• These four pins are your combination pins.

Place the four pins on a table and release the

thumb pressure on the two buttons.

• All remaining pins are blanks, and will always

be located in the slots not associated with the

combination. All blank pins are identical and

can be inserted into any (non-combination)

locations.

SETTING NEW COMBINATION

5. Any new combination you pick will always need to

be sequential when you enter your combination to

unlock your ShotLock. For example : when entering

the numbers out of your chosen sequence, it will

not open.

6. To obtain the correct sequence with your new

combination, we suggest to record your code in the

designated box on page 10.

7. To insert the pins back into the module, press the

two slides at the same time (see step 3). Proceed to

insert the four pins into the correct locations.

• Any blank that may be still in one of these

slots, can be removed and placed into any

other location.

• Each time you insert a pin, gently push the

pin all the way in to insure it is seated into

its location.

8. Once ﬁ nished, and all eight pins are installed,

release your thumb, and gently press all eight

pins to insure each snap in and out smoothly. If a

pin does not, simply repeat steps 3 and 7 for that

individual pin.

9. Once your new combination is complete, simply

set the module back into its location . If the module

seats into its three location pins, it will snap in

place, and stay put in its cradle. If the module

won’t stay in place, put back into the cradle until

you feel it snap into place.

10. Slide the metal cover back into place. Place special

attention and have the cover follow the vertical

guide rails.

• If the cover won’t go on easily, that usually

means your lock module is not snapped into

proper place.

11. Insert the two Phillips screws back into place, and

now you are done!

12. Once installed, we recommend trying your new

combination with the ShotLock door still open, in

case you have placed a pin incorrectly by accident

and the combination does not work as planned.

If this happens, just remove again, and follow the

previous instructions.

CHANGING COMBINATION (E-SERIES LOCK)

Introduction: Changing your combination is easy and takes less than a minute.

The E-series lock oﬀ ers over 1 million combination possibilities. Your code can be anywhere

from 4 digits up to 10 digits in length. Also, before setting the new combination, we recommend

you record the new combination code on page 14 of this manual.

GETTING STARTED

1. Open your ShotLock with your

current electronic combination, OR

by using the Key Override.

2. Make sure the locking knob is in the

“OPEN” position.

digits) and press and HOLD the OK

Key until a short beep is heard.

4. Quickly enter your new combina-

tion again, and press and HOLD the

OK Key again until a LONG beep

is heard.

5. The long beep CONFIRMS your new

combination. DOUBLE beep means

an ERROR, and start over at Num-

ber 4 (above).

• Any new combination you pick will always

need to be sequential when you enter your

combination to unlock your ShotLock. For

example : when entering the numbers out of

your chosen sequence, it will not open.

• To obtain the correct sequence with your new

combination, we suggest you record your code

in the designated box on page 14.

If all three of the provided keys have been misplaced, and the internal battery has

expired, ShotLock provides another opportunity for you to get your ShotLock open.
