My safe, a Cathedral EA15 Will not lock. Any suggestions people?


Instructions
  1. 1

    Enter your code on the keypad located on the front of the safe. Some electronic digital safes require you to input a special character like "#" before and after your code. The safe should either beep, have a LED turn green, or display "OPEN" if you have correctly entered the code.

  2. 2

    Turn the handle to the right within five seconds of correctly entering the code. If you wait too long, the safe will lock and you will have to enter your code ag

3

Open the safe with a key. Use your emergency key that came with the safe to open it if you forgot the code or if the batteries have died. Remove the key cover from either the handle or the control panel to reveal the lock.

  1. 1

    Enter your code to open the safe.

  2. 2

    Place the electronic digital safe into code reset mode. On some models you need to hold the last digit of the code or press the "*" button to get into code reset mode. Other safes require you to open them and press a small red button on the inside of the door.

  3. 3

    Enter your new code on the keypad and press "#" to finish. Some safes may require you to press "*" or a letter to finish the code. If the safe requires it, enter the new code again to confirm that you entered it correctly.

    Use your code to open the electronic digital safe's door.

  2. 2

  4. 4

    Test the batteries. Use your code while the door is open to test the batteries before closing the safe.

How do i change the code on the S-25EBF safe

I'm not familiar with that safe but here's a few to try. You'll need to open the safe first in any case after opening then first try simply entering another code, lock it (with the door open) and try to unlock it,. Next, there may be a reset button inside the safe on the door press, hold, release and try entering a new code this may also require you to enter the original code w/wo some type of access code. As a simpler method, with the door open and electronics exposed, remove the cover plate and batteries, wait at lease an hour and replace the batteries, this may also start you with a code such as 0000. Can you tell me where you purchased it? This may help a lot!

I purchased a new Sentry Safe, Model CSW 4747 yesterday. When I unboxed the safe, the safe was open, the lock handle was down, cyclinders were a little pertruding, and the lock cyclinder was popped out. ...

(1) sounds like the interior lock activation screw is still installed. it's the long screw on the inside of the door with the yellow tag; (2) when entering the code, make sure the key is turned to the right; (3) after entering the code, make sure you next press the program button. enter the code wrong three times and it locks up for two minutes.

Sentry Safe (DSW3607 Model) Won't Open

I finally ignored the poorly-written instructions for programming a personal code and simply entered the factory code first and then pressed the prog/enter code button.  The safe opened.  The instructions tell you to push the prog/enter code first and then enter the factory code or personal code to open the safe.  Wrong!  Do it my way should this problem happen to you.
