The door may be removed by opening it enough to clear the door frame
(approximately 110°) and lifting straight up. Re-installing the door is
simplified if the lower hinge is adjusted prior to removing the door.
REMOVING THE SAFE DOOR
1 With the door closed, use a
5
⁄32" Allen wrench and turn the bolt
located in the bottom piece of the bottom hinge four half-turns
counterclockwise (looking down at the hinge).
2 With the door open (clear of the frame) have two or three people
support the door and lift it straight up and off the hinges. Care should
be taken to lift straight up to avoid damaging the hinge pins (Figure 1).
RE-INSTALLING THE SAFE DOOR
1 With two or three people supporting the door, position the door
hinges above the pins on the bottom hinge pieces on the safe.
2 Lower the door onto the bottom hinge first, then onto the top pin.
3 When both the top and bottom hinges are aligned lower the door
completely down.
4 Close the door and use a
5
⁄32" Allen wrench and turn the Allen bolt
lo
cated in the bottom piece of the bottom hinge four half-turns
clockwise (looking down at the hinge).
5 Open and close the door several times to make sure it swings smoothly.
NOTE: Hardened steel ball bearings are located below the hinge pins
within the hinge housing. Do not lose these bearings while the door
is o
ff of the safe. Care should be taken not to damage the paint while
removing or re-installing the door.
ANCHORING YOUR SAFE TO THE
FLOOR AND/OR WALL
Placing your safe on a concrete floor and anchoring it to the floor and wall
behind it provides the maximum protection for your valuables. Many
common attacks on security safes involve tipping the safe over on its back.
You can reduce the chances of an effective attack by preventing your safe
from being tipped or moved.
