The batteries are normally accessed from a compartment accessed from inside the door. You use the Emergency Key, open it and replace the batteries. Then you press the reset button and enter a new PIN code.

'make model (what is is)' is needed in all questions.
There are ways to very easily open these mickey mouse safes using no tools.
You don't, not without destroying the safe. You'll have to drill out the lock mechanism to get what's kept inside. Once you do that, the safe is useless.
The key slot should have a number stamped near it. Take that number to a locksmith along with the manufactures name and the year and model of the safe. The locksmith can make a new key.
If the safe has a key a paper clip, a screw driver and some patience will allow you to pick the lock. Just apply a twisting pressure on the key cylinder, and rake the pins in the cylinder with a straightened paper clip. If the pressure is just right the pins will line up and it will open. You will still need to have key made.
I have the Kinavon 28 safe, I have lost the keys and the batteries started to die, eventually the batteries I think have given up, I use to get all the three lights on, red, yellow green but now I'm only getting the yellow light on, there's no clicking as It usually did, has anyone any Ideas how I can access It or resolve this problem?
I read this elsewhere. it's worth a try... "I had the same problem, batteries dead and i could not find the keys. I read on the internet that if you get a hairdryer, and heat up the front of the safe where the keypad is and where the spare key goes in this will work, i thought anything is worth a try. So i held the hairdryer there for a bout 15 mins and what happens is the heat slowly boosts the battery life, enabling you to open the safe. You will notice that you start to get a beep noise from the key pad. even though i was getting a beep from the pad it didnt open straight away but after about 10 mins i retried the code and it worked. Make sure you replace the batteries immediately before closing the safe again "
The factory code combination to your electronic lock will remain in the memory of the unit - even if the batteries go dead. Any use programmed codes will be lost if the batteries lose power. The Sentry programmed factory code is always your default code.
If you do not know your factory code, you can follow this link for your combination retrieval:
After opening the electronic safe (with the pre-set factory code of 159B) locate the small red button on the inside of the door near the hinge. 2.Press the red button and then release it, you will hear a beep. DO NOT SHUT THE DOOR UNTIL YOU HAVE CONFIRMED THAT YOUR NEW SECURITY CODE HAS BEEN ENTERED CORRECTLY. 3.With the door open, enter your own personal security code, which can be 3- 8 digits long, and confirm your new code by pressing the letter “B” on the electronic touch pad. Before you close the door, try the new security code to make sure the lock release the knob so you can turn it and retract the live action locking bolts. If the code fails, go through steps 1-3 again. If the code works successfully, then you should lock the safe. When you open the safe in the future enter the security code you have set followed by the letter “B” and turn the knob.
If the incorrect security code is entered 3 times you will have an automatic lockout for 20 seconds before you can try your code again. If the incorrect security code is entered 3 additional times there will be a 5- minute lockout before the code can be tried again. BATTERY REPLACEMENT This safe uses 4- AA batteries. Under normal use, batteries will last about 1 year. When the battery is low, a red light will come on warning you that the battery is low. To test the batteries, enter your security code. If the batteries are low the red light located in the middle of the top of the keypad will start to flash.
To replace the batteries, open the safe door with your security code and turn the knob. Push the batteries cover plate, which is located on the back of the door, and replace the old batteries. YOU MUST PROGRAME YOUR SECURITY CODE AFTER YOU REPLACE THE BATTERIES. SEE STEPS 1- 3 UNDER “ENTERING YOUR SECURITY CODE”. TROUBLE KEY A “Trouble key” has been provided in case you forget or lose your security code. Remove the small central panel from the front of the faceplate. Insert the key and turn it counter clockwise. Then turn the knob on the door towards the right. This will manually open your safe. If you lose your key, you may purchase a replacement key by referencing the serial number located under the central panel by the lock. MAINTENANCE FOR KEY AND ELECTRONIC SAFE If the door of the safe starts to rub on the door frame, open the door per the instructions above. By the door hinges you will find a threaded stem. Use an Allen wrench to tighten the threaded stem. This will help realign the door and give you trouble free access to the contents of your safe.
1) look again for the key
2) call a lock smith
3) drill the lock
these safes arent expensive , cheaper to drill the lock and replace that a lock smith , but get a quote
Use paperclip to push in pin size hole below keyboard and then slide panel to right. Battery box is right there. Replace batteries and then was already to accept code.
