I need to reset the electronic passcode for the Phoenix Centurion 1262 fireproof safe, as a member of staff saw me using the passcode today. Can anybody help?

To change the code you should follow the instructions below:


1. Press button C
2. Enter the current passcode (this may be the factory default 1,2,3,4 or a previously set user code of 4-16 digits)
3. Press button # (a melody will sound to confirm your code)
4. Turn the knob to open the lock
5. With the lock open, press the # button
6. Enter the code from step 2 (the default factory code 1,2,3,4 or previously set user code)
7. Press the # button
8. Enter a new 4-16 digit code
9. Press the # button.

Your code is now set to the one entered in step 8

Got safe have no codes safe is open but locks are out an can't close door

 

Hello

Please see below a copy of the instructions for the electronic lock:
http://www.safelincs.co.uk/templates_safelincs/files/datasheets/1779_SS1620E-Electronic-Lock-Instructions.pdf

If you refer to the second page and the section that says "setting a new personal code" this explains how to change the code.

I hope this helps

If you do not have the present code you will not be able to change but you could contact the manufacturer and see if they can help, there may be a way to reset to factory code.

Inside the safe is a red button can you re set a new code from there not knowing the original?

Which model safe do you have? We can then check out the manual.

Hi

I have just bought a Phoenix Data Combi DS2503E from the local tip with a broken handle and they said the code was 2016 and they unlocked it before I took it . I have it home and now it will not open is there a delay on it or something im doing wrong

thanks

Hi Bob

you need to make sure that the batteries are replaced in the front cover should they be low. Here also the lock instructions for the Phoenix Data Combi fire safe. If the standard factory code shown does not work you will need to get an original invoice to prove ownership to Phoenix before they issue a master code which is probably not possible in your case.

When i enter the code the LED says opened, but the safe is closed. I am locked out, any ideas?

It may be the batteries are nearly flat and are only able to power the LED display but too flat to open the bolt.

Have you tried changing the batteries?

Hi , we have large Phoenix Fireproof cabinet. It was not used for the last 2 years due to COVID , since we worked from home. Unfortunately the combination and other documents were lost. What would be the procedure to recover the code?

You will need a receipt/proof of purchase to obtain a "Master code" (That may or may not work, depending on model) If you do not have this, you will have to call a locksmith.
