DISCLAIMER – READ BEFORE SAFE SETUP

PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR REMINGTON SAFE. DO NOT LOCK THIS MANUAL OR THE OVERRIDE KEYS IN YOUR SAFE.

Thank you for choosing a Remington safe to protect your valuables. We are committed to securing, organizing and protecting your most important documents, valuables and keepsakes.
Your safe is built to last a lifetime. However, please understand that the locking mechanism has precision parts. If you experience ANY difficulty opening or closing your safe DO NOT FORCE THE SAFE OPEN. Doing so may jam the components in the lock, which will require a safe technician to unlock your safe. This causes an inconvenience to you and may lead to a claim denial.
If you experience problems or challenges with your safe, please contact us. Many issues can be quickly resolved without the product being returned.

SAFETY

Safe bodies and doors are extremely heavy thus SA Consumer Products requires a minimum of 2 or 3 people to ensure stability of the safe during installation. Always ensure proper installation, as laid out in this manual, and do not open the door with the safe on an uneven or unstable floor. Ignoring this could result in serious injury or death.

FIREARM STORAGE

If you choose to utilize this safe to store a firearm always follow proper firearm and local laws.
SA Consumer Products strongly recommends that you do not store loaded firearms.
Always follow the firearm safety rules set out by the firearm’s manufacturer.
A Remington safe or any other firearm storage device cannot take the place of other safety procedures including advising children of the dangers of firearms.
SA Consumer Products and its distributors of the Remington safe do not recommend, suggest, advise, promote, or otherwise condone the ownership or use of firearms. We believe the decision to own or use a firearm is a serious decision that should only be made by an adult who has carefully considered the risks and benefits of such a decision.

UNBOXING

WARNING: SAFES ARE HEAVY AND CAN BE UNSTABLE ON UNEVEN GROUND. PLEASE ENSURE EXTRA CAUTION WHEN DEALING WITH OR MOVING UNSECURED SAFES. WHILE UNBOXING BE SURE TO HAVE A SECOND PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES.

Remove the packaging. If your safe is still on shipping feet you can simply lift the box up and off the safe once the strapping has been removed. You will want to have someone stabilize the safe when removing the cardboard and other packing material from underneath the safe. Before discarding package material, please be certain you have located and saved the ”Getting Started Box” located in the front of the honeycomb corrugate front protection panel.

INSPECTION

Make sure to inspect your safe for shipping damage before accepting delivery. If you find any damage, please contact the delivery company (or carrier) immediately.
Any damage not noted upon delivery must be reported within fifteen (15) days or there will be no recourse. Any noted damage at the time of delivery must be resolved with the delivery company and/or retailer. Shipping damage is not warrantable by SA Consumer Products.

INITIAL ENTRY

Locate the quick start guide, override key, battery and spoke inside the box on the front of the corrugated safe protective front cover. Install the single-handle spoke by inserting into one of the threaded openings and twisting clockwise until you feel the spoke fully lock into place. Set the provided override key aside in a safe place.
NOTE: Do not store override keys inside your safe.
To access the override key entry, lift the lock face up and off of the front of the safe, allowing it to hang from the cord. Insert and turn the override key counter-clockwise from 12 to the 9 o’clock position to unlock.
Turn the handle clockwise until the safe door opens. Once open, turn the handle back to its starting position so the bolts are open and extended. Remove key and set it aside. Reattach the lock face.
Now that your safe is open, you will find a Welcome Box inside your safe. You will find your 2 remaining spokes inside that box. Insert each individual spoke into a threaded opening and turn clockwise to install.
- Styles SAR5912GC and SAR5920GC will not have additional spokes to install.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT

Turn the housing ring counterclockwise until it cannot move (about 20°), then pull it off from the lock face base. See Fig.2.
Push the battery from the bottom left side of the lock face and unsnap the battery from the connecter. (This step is for replacement only)
Snap a new 9V alkaline battery onto the battery clip and place it back into the compartment on the bottom right side of the lock face.
Note: Tuck the cable into the compartment and make sure the cable does not get caught in the housing ring.
Align the 3 tabs on the inside of the housing ring to the three corresponding grooves on the lock face base. Locate the housing ring and slide the ring onto the base. Then turn the ring clockwise until an audible click is heard.

USER CODE SETUP

THIS UNIT COMES IN DEFAULT MODE. YOUR SAFE LOCK COMES WITH 2 PRE-PROGRAMMED ENTRY CODES THAT CAN OPEN THE LOCK. THE MANAGER CODE IS 1-1-1-1-1-1 AND THE USER CODE IS 1-2-3-4-5-6. YOU MUST PROGRAM WITH YOUR OWN CODE TO ENSURE THE SECURITY OF YOUR SAFE.

WARNING: IT IS REQUIRED THAT THE USER CHANGE BOTH THE USER AND MANAGER CODES OF YOUR SAFE. FAILURE TO DO SO IS A POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK.

Important: It is necessary to reprogram your safe with a new security code you have personally selected to provide maximum household security. When choosing your new code, keep in mind that the system will not allow your new code to be six zeros. Be careful to choose a new security code that you can enter quickly without making an error.

To change the Manager Code enter “0” six times. When you hear 1 beep enter the current Manager Code of 1- 1-1-1-1-1 and you will hear 1 more beep.
Enter your new 6-digit code. When you hear 2 beeps, enter it again. 1 final beep will confirm programming success. You have now changed your Manager Code.
NOTE: If 3 beeps sound, the code change process was unsuccessful. The existing code is still valid. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
To change the User Code enter “0” six times and you will hear 1 beep. Enter the current User Code of 1- 2-3-4-5-6 and you will hear 1 more beep.
Enter your new 6-digit code. When you hear 2 beeps, enter it again. 1 final beep will confirm programming success. You have now changed your User Code.
NOTE: If 3 beeps sound, the code change process has been unsuccessful. The existing code is still valid. Repeat steps 3 and 4.

LOCK FACE SECURITY CODE SETUP (Continued)

Always perform operations with the safe lock system unlocked and the safe door open. The system will revert to standby status if there is no key press within 10 seconds. Standby status is indicated by 2 short beeps.

Note: Do not shut the safe door until you have confirmed your new security code at least 3 times to ensure your code has been saved and you can open the door successfully.

LOCKOUT MODE

Entry of 4 consecutive invalid codes results in a 5-minute penalty time. The unit beeps at 5-second intervals indicating that it is still in the lockout period. While the system is in penalty time, the lock face key pad will remain unresponsive. Pressing buttons during penalty will not restart or lengthen the lockout mode period. It will continue to count through the 5-minute lockout mode period. While the system is in lockout mode, removal of the batteries will interrupt the lockout mode countdown. Upon reinstallation of the batteries, the lock face continues to count down until the 5-minute lockout mode expires.

Standby Status
To conserve battery power, the system will revert to standby status if no button is pressed in 10 seconds. Standby status is indicated by 2 short beeps.

LOW BATTERY WARNING

This lock face is equipped to alert you when the batteries are low. The battery needs to be replaced if you hear 8 beeps as you unlock your safe. Please replace batteries immediately when receiving this warning.
The safe lock system is powered by one 9V alkaline battery. The battery is housed inside the lock face. This battery should be replaced annually. Refer to the battery replacement instructions.

PROPER PLACEMENT AND MOVING OF SAFE

WARNING: SAFES ARE VERY HEAVY AND AWKWARD TO HANDLE. PLEASE USE THE UTMOST CARE IN MOVING THE SAFE. UTILIZING A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL WITH PROPER MOVING EQUIPMENT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The location of the executive safe is very important and the utmost care should be taken during this consideration.

To maximize the fire protection of your safe, we recommend you place the safe in lower levels in your home where fire temperatures are lower and away from highly combustible materials.
To maximize burglary protection and stability, securing the safe to the floor is recommended.
SA Consumer Products recommends that you store your safe in a closet, office, basement, bedroom or any other location that is convenient for you but out of direct line of sight from prying eyes. The location of the safe is very important.
SA Consumer Products requires the safe is secured to the floor to ensure safe does not tip over in case of a flood.
Using a dolly capable of supporting the size and weight of your safe, move the safe to your desired location. Please take all necessary precautions to protect and prevent any damage to your flooring.
HELPFUL: TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR SAFE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH DOORWAYS, STAIRS, OR CORNERS, TAKE THE EMPTY SAFE BOX AND SEE IF IT WILL FIT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO ITS FINAL LOCATION.
The safe should be installed adjacent to a side wall with minimal space on either side of the safe. Wherever possible, the safe should be flat against the wall and floor. Remove the baseboard and/or wall trim if necessary.
Always ensure the safe is in an isolated and dry area. Never place the safe in direct contact with a wet floor. When installing your safe on a concrete floor, use of a moisture/protective barrier is highly recommended. Failure to do so, or exposing the safe to chemicals or other adverse environments, may void the warranty.
If your safe seems unlevel, you may need to shim the bottom of the safe to prevent the door from swinging open too quickly, or closing on itself.

KEEPING YOUR SAFE DRY

We recommend placing a moisture/protective barrier between your safe and concrete floor to prevent any moisture, mildew and rust damage to the safe. Installing your safe in a place with climate control (heat in the winter and cooling in the summer) is highly recommended. In areas of high humidity or frequent temperature fluctuations (garages) it is recommended to take appropriate precautions to ward against moisture damage. We strongly encourage the use of an internal dehumidifier and/or desiccants to protect your contents from rust or mildew. Internal dehumidifiers should not be in direct contact with the side or back walls.

SHIPPING SKID REMOVAL

WARNING: WHILE REMOVING THE BOLTS FROM THE SKIDS, BE SURE TO HAVE A PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES.
WARNING: BEFORE REMOVING THE SHIPPING SKIDS, MAKE SURE THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. THE DOOR OF YOUR SAFE IS HEAVY AND PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD UNTIL THE SAFE IS BOLTED DOWN OR SECURED PROPERLY.

Upon receiving your safe, you may find it attached to a shipping skid. The skid is secured from the underside of the safe by four bolts. Remove the four bolts that secure the safe to the skids using a wrench or 3/4” (19mm) socket.
With a person stabilizing the safe, carefully tilt the safe to the left and pull the shipping skid on the right side away from the bottom of the safe.
With the shipping skid removed from one side of the safe, carefully lower the safe to the floor.
Follow the same procedure to remove the remaining shipping skid.

SECURING YOUR SAFE

WARNING: YOUR SAFE IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ITSELF WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. HOWEVER, CAUTION SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID TIPPING. WHILE SECURING YOUR SAFE BE SURE TO HAVE A SECOND PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL COMPROMISE THE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND WARRANTY OF THE SAFE.

TOOLS NEEDED TO BOLT SAFE TO A CONCRETE SURFACE

DRILL / HAMMER DRILL
DRILL BIT – 1/2” ( for concrete install with provided hardware)
WRENCH / 11/16” (17MM) SOCKET
HAMMER
SAFETY GLASSES
GLOVES
OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT AS NEEDED

Use the hardware provided or consult your hardware retailer for fastening hardware for your particular mounting surface.
Open your safe door and locate and remove the four black caps on the safe floor. This will provide access to the factory drilled bolt down holes.
To secure your safe to the floor it will first be necessary to drill pilot holes in the floor surface.
Drill the appropriate diameter and depth of pilot holes based on the type of hardware being used and the type of floor surface. For the hardware provided (concrete floor installation) we recommend using a hammer drill and 1/2” concrete drill bit to drill the four corresponding holes in the concrete floor.
Insert and drive the plastic anchoring plugs into the pilot holes. You may need to use a hammer to fully insert the plugs into the pilot holes.
Secure the safe, by threading all 4 anchor bolts through the factory drilled bolt down holes in the bottom of the safe and ratcheting down tight.
- Make sure the metal washer sits on top of the rubber washer. Tighten the bolt to compress the rubber washer between the safe and metal washer. Failure to do so will allow water to enter the safe in the event of a flood.
Replace the four black caps on the floor of the safe.

LOCKED OUT OF YOUR SAFE

In the event you have forgotten the security code your primary action will be to use your override keys in order to gain access to your safe and follow the Electronic Lock Security Setup Code instructions, starting at section 10. If you have lost your override keys, you will need to contact customer service at the number below. Proof of purchase is required to obtain keys.

CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE AT888-792-4264

LOADING YOUR SAFE

Store documents or heat-sensitive items in the bottom of the safe for the greatest protection against fire damage.
Store ammunition separately from valuables.
Do not put anything in your safe that will put pressure against the door when it is closed.
Select safe models have reinforced shelving, but as a good safety precaution store heavier items either on the floor of the safe, or away from the middle of the shelves.
When placing firearms into your safe, make sure they rest securely against the cutouts provided in the barrel rests to prevent accidental tipping when the door is closed.

MAINTENANCE

The hinges and internal locking mechanism are permanently lubricated, thus needing no maintenance. Opening the door panel of your safe may void your warranty. Always consult our customer service experts prior to doing so.
