Inside the safe...open the safe you will see a button on the inside of the door.this is the re-set button..make sure the code you put in is working before closing the door.
I'm sure you have opened it by now. however, when the safe goes into lockout mode. You must wait for the lockout period to end. That length of time is customizable, so I can not say how long it will be. Most likely 10min to 1 hr. Then just enter the code normally.
You must enter the code to unlock the safe, just as if the door was shut. The safe does not know the door is open and you just need to shut it.
If you have entered the code and it unlocks properly but you still can't disengage the bars, take the panel off the inside of the door and inspect to see what is causing the problem.
This safe was shipped with a factory Master Code of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8.
If you changed the Master Code you will need to use the code you changed it to.
Deleting your current User Codes:
Input * - * lock will beep twice
input 6-6-6-# lock will beep twice
Input current Master Code - # lock will beep twice
Input user number - # lock will beep twice (not user code, user number is which user number you want to delete 1,2,3,4 or 5)
Re-input user number - # light stays green for 3 seconds
Example: * - * - 6 - 6 - 6 - # Master Code - # - 5 - # - 5 #
This will delete user 5
Unsuccessful code change: five beeps, repeat the steps.
Changing User Codes: Code length can be 3 to 8 digits long
Input * - * lock will beep twice
Input 4 - 4 - 4 - # lock will beep twice
Input Current User Code - # lock will beep twice
Input User Number - #
Input New User Code - # lock will beep twice
Re-input New User Code - # light stays green for 3 seconds
Example: * - * - 3 - 3 - 3 -# - User Code 2 - # - 2 - # -New User Code - # - New User Code - #
That example will change user code 2.
Unsuccessful Code Change: five beeps, repeat the steps.
There are other things you can do with the MSL-500 lock that comes on the MFL-2014E. You can change the master code, activate user codes, change user codes, delete user codes, set single user or dual user modes (dual user modes requires two user codes to be entered each time you want to open the safe, set the time delay.
The Mesa safe company has a website which does have the operating instructions for the MSL-500 electronic lock. A Google search of "Mesa MSL-500 Operating Instructions" would get you there quickly.
The most common issue with the MFL-2014E is the keypad. We have 7 of these safes in our company and I had been replacing the keypads all the time. Which wasn't too terrible while they were under warranty but if I remember correctly they want $60 for a replacement keypad out of warranty.
I started replacing the electronic lock and keypad with Sargent and Greenleaf models. S&G 6120-305 or S&G Titan 2006-108 and haven't had problems since. Mesa said they had an engineer team from overseas go over their keypads to figure out what the problem was. The feedback was their design was fine but the components were cheap and under par. I still had a problem with their resigned keypads however.
The only other problem I have had is the bars getting bent from people shutting the door on them and bending them. This can be fixed by taking the panel off the door and bending the bracket back flat with your hand. The metal there in a bit too flimsy in my opinion.
The safe can lock up under determined conditions. Since safes are security anti-theft devices, in case they do not open, they can only be accessed with the help of the manufacturer.
Please, call Mesa Live Technical Support. The operators are available Monday - Friday 8:00am - 4:30pm (Pacific Standard Time) The phone number is toll free. Here the number: (800) 490-5624.
