The Bunker Hill Electronic Digital Safe, Model 45891, is a robust security device designed for safeguarding valuables. Its primary function is to provide a secure storage solution with both electronic keypad access and an emergency key override system. The safe is constructed from heavy-gauge steel, ensuring durability and resistance to tampering.

Important Technical Specifications:

Overall Dimensions: The safe measures 9-7/8" H x 11" D (with the front panel) or 10-1/2" D (without the front panel) x 13-3/4" W.
Internal Dimensions: The interior offers a storage space of 13-1/2" W x 9-1/2" H x 9-5/8" D.
Materials: The housing is made from 9 GA. Steel Plate, while the door frame is 4 GA. Steel, and the door itself is 5 GA. Steel. This combination of steel gauges provides significant protection.
Door Mounting: The door is secured with 3/8" Steel Pins, which are welded for added strength.
Door Lock Bolt: A 1" x 5/8" throw lock bolt engages to secure the door.
Panel Features: The control panel includes several indicator lights: a Green LED for "Code OK/Open," a Yellow LED for "Set/Codes," and a Red LED to indicate "Battery Change." It features a hidden tumbler with two keys for emergency access, a keypad with numbers 0-9 and "A" & "B" keys, an internal "Code Set Button," and a black knob for locking/opening the door. The electronic system supports an eight-digit code capacity.
Included Items: The safe comes with four concrete fasteners, a felt pad to protect stored items, and a hole template for mounting.
Power Required: The electronic keypad operates on four "AA" batteries.
Weight: The safe weighs 35.6 lb., contributing to its stability and security.

Usage Features:

Opening the Safe: To open, users input the default code "159" (or a custom code) on the electronic keypad, followed by either the "A" or "B" key. Once the Green LED illuminates, the knob must be turned within five seconds to open the door. If the knob is not turned in time, the code needs to be re-entered.
Closing the Safe: To lock the safe, simply close the door and turn the knob in the opposite direction.
Changing the Code: The safe's default code is "159." To change it, first open the safe. Inside the door, near the hinge, there's a small Red Button. Press this button until the Yellow LED on the front control panel lights up. Then, input the new code (1 to 8 characters) on the keypad, followed by either the "A" or "B" key. The safe will beep twice to confirm the change. If it beeps three times, the code was not accepted, and the process must be repeated.
Emergency Key Override: The safe includes two emergency keys for situations where the code is forgotten or the batteries are dead. To use this feature, the front panel needs to be detached. This involves gently peeling off a sticker (with SKU# 45891 printed on it) located to the left of the keypad. Underneath the sticker, a screw needs to be removed. Once the screw is out, the panel can be gently removed to reveal a secret key-operated lock. The emergency key is then inserted into this lock and turned, allowing the knob to be turned and the door opened. It is crucial to never lock the emergency keys inside the safe.
Mounting Options: The safe can be securely mounted to either wood surfaces or concrete. For wood, a nail is used to mark pilot holes, followed by drilling 1/8" diameter pilot holes and securing the safe with four 1/4" diameter self-tapping screws (not included). For concrete, a small pilot hole is drilled through the template, then four holes are drilled with a concrete drill bit to the diameter of the fasteners and 2" deep. The concrete fasteners are hammered into these holes (flat side first, using a wood block to protect threads), and the safe is placed over the bolts. Nuts are then tightened onto the bolts, expanding the fasteners to secure the safe.

Maintenance Features:

Changing Batteries: The Red and Green LEDs lighting up simultaneously indicate that the batteries need to be changed. To do this, open the safe, locate the battery compartment on the inside of the door, slide off the cover, remove the old batteries, and insert four new "AA" batteries. After changing, it's recommended to test the code before closing the door.
No Replacement Parts: The manual explicitly states that there are no replacement parts available for this product. This implies that if a component fails, the entire unit may need to be replaced.
General Maintenance: The manual emphasizes the importance of checking for damaged parts and having them repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. It also advises against modifying the product or using it for unintended purposes. Regular inspection and adherence to operating procedures are crucial for safety and longevity.
