D. ASSEMBLING THE DOOR
1. Slide the axle of the dial through the hole
in the centre of the door front. Push the
ratchet wheel onto the axle. Line up the slot
on the ratchet wheel with the small line on
the edge of the dial. The axle slots into the
oval hole in the wheel. Secure with a washer
screw. Do not tighten too much, the wheel
and the dial must be able to turn freely.
2. Slot the ratchet arm onto the pin close to
the ratchet wheel. The small pin on the arm
must point away from the ratchet wheel.
3. Hold one end of the spring on the peg on
the ratchet arm. Push the pin on the spring
retaining plate into the other end of the
spring and slot the plate into its holder.
4. Secure the arm with a washer screw, but
do not tighten too much — the arm must be
able to pivot freely.
5. Put the switch slider over the switch, with
the black switch lever protruding from the
small hole. Add the switch slider cover and
secure it with two plain screws.
6. Put the lock latch into the rear of the lock.
7. Turn the latch so that its short arm is
trapped between the metal contacts and its
long arm is slightly over the edge of the door.
8. Add the lock cover and secure with two
screws. Check that the lock works with the
key.
E. CONNECTING THE CIRCUIT
9. Make sure the buzzer is in its slot in the door
front. Push the spare wire from the buzzer and
the red wire from the battery case into the
terminal next to the buzzer. Secure the wires
in place with a terminal cap.
10. Push the other wire from the switch and
the black wire from the battery case into the
other terminal hole next to the battery case.
Secure the wires with a terminal cap.
F. SETTING THE PIN NUMBER
11. Turn the dial so that the dot on the dial is
aligned with the triangular mark on the door.
12. Now take the dial number sticker. Choose
one number to be your personal identification
number (PIN) (e.g. 10). Place the sticker so
that your chosen number is directly on the dot
and the triangular mark is pointing to the
number (i.e. 10, in this example).
Remarks: there is an additional pin number
sticker included. You can change your PIN in
number in the future by replacing the sticker
with a new one.
G. ASSEMBLING THE SAFE FRONT PANEL
13. Install the door cover, secure it with 4 screws.
14. Turn the lock open with the lock key. Place the door front into the safe front frame so that the
spindles on the door front fit between the pins on the frame. Attach the two hinge covers over the
spindles using screws.
I. INSTALLING/ REPLACING THE
BATTERY
Slide the alarm switch to the ALARM OFF
position. (Remarks: to allow the switch to
move to the “Alam Off” position, you must
always turn the dial so that the triangle is
pointing to the PIN you chose.)
20. Now unlock the door with the key and
open the door. Insert an AA battery into the
battery holder. Install the cover and secure it
a screw.
H. ASSEMBLING THE SAFE BODY
The safe structure is composed of the front panel (with door), which you have just assembled, the back
panel (marked "A"), and 4 panels marked with numbers at two side edges. All panels have interlocking
hooks along the edges. Once the panels are joined, they should not be disassembled again.
15. Take the four side panels. Arrange the panels as shown in the diagram, so that the numbers on the
panels are in sequence. All the numbers must be facing up.
16. Following the number sequence (starting with sides 1 and 2...), fit the panels together by slotting the
interlocking hooks along the edges into place. This will form a four-sided "tunnel" structure.
17. Now place the back panel flat (marked A) on a table surface, with the letter "A" facing you in an
upright position.
18. Position the tunnel structure so that the side with the coin slot is facing away from you, as in the
diagram. Fit the "tunnel" structure to the back panel. (Remarks: if the panel positions are correct, they
should fit into the back panel without difficulty. If you need force to fit the tunnel, disassemble the panels
and re -do steps 15 to 16).
19. Finally fit the front door panel, with the key lock on your left, as in the diagram. Once the door panel
is installed properly, the whole box structure will be locked into shape, and should not be disassembled.
J. TESTING THE ALARM BUZZ
Start with the door open, the key in the unlocked position and the switch to the “Alarm Off” position
(i.e. to the right). Remember that you need to turn the dial to the correct PIN before you can slide the
switch to “Alarm Off”.
• Now close the door. Lock it with the key.
• Slide the alarm switch to the “Alarm On” position (i.e. the left).
• Turn the dial so that the pointer mark on the door is pointing to a number other than your selected
PIN.
• Now try sliding the switch to the “Alarm Off” position. You should not be able to do it. The alarm is
NOT disabled.
• Try to open the door lock with the key now, and the alarm will sound.
• Now reset the alarm to off by turning the key to lock the door again.
• Afterwards turn the dial to the correct PIN.
• Slide the alarm switch to the “Alarm Off” position. Now the alarm is disabled.
• Turn the key to unlock the door. The alarm will not sound and you can open the door now.
If the alarm does not work properly, refer to the troubleshooting section below.
Congratulations, your unique alarm-protected money safe is complete.
K. OPERATION
This is a money safe with double protection. The "spy" or "burglar” needs to get hold of both the key
and the PIN in order to open the safe without triggering the alarm. Start with the door open, the key in
the unlocked position and the switch to the “Alarm Off” position.
To close the safe
Close the door. Turn the key to the left to lock the door. Slide the switch to the left and turn the dial a
few times so that the mark is not pointing to your selected PIN. Now if anyone tries to open the door
by turning the key, the alarm will sound.
To open the safe
Turn the dial until the pointer on the door points to the correct PIN. Slide the switch to the “Alarm Off”
position. Now you can turn the key without setting off the alarm.
L. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the alarm does not sound:
• Check that you are using fresh battery.
• Check that the battery is inserted the correct way round in the battery case.
• Check that all the wires are touching the metal terminal caps.
• Check that all the wires are connected properly.
• Check that the key lock latch is properly inserted bewteen the metal contacts when the key is turned
to the unlock position. When the key is turned to the lock position the metal plates should be in contact
again.
M. HOW IT WORKS
The battery is connected to the buzzer by two switches: one behind the sliding switch and one in the
lock, formed by the two metal contacts. The two switches are in series with each other, so if one or the
other is open, the buzzer does not sound. When the sliding switch is to the right (Alarm Off position)
the switch behind it is open, so the alarm buzzer cannot sound, no matter what the position of the key
is. When the sliding switch is to the left (Alarm On position) and the key is turned to the right, both
switches are open and the buzzer sounds.
N. FUN FACTS
• Safes are normally made of metal in order to prevent burglars from trying to open it and taking the
contents inside.
• A key safe is a safe that is unlocked by a key.
• A combination safe is a safe that is unlocked by pressing a sequence of keys or dialing a series of
numbers.
• A time-lock safe is a safe linked to a clock, so that it can only be unlocked at certain times of the day.
• A diversion safe is a safe that is disguised as another object, such as a book or a tin can.
• Many safes are fire resistant and water resistant so their contents can survive in a burning building or
a flood.
• A safe-cracker is a person who tries to open safes without the key or the combination of numbers
needed. Safe-cracking is popular in the movies!
• A vault (or strong room) is a room that acts as a giant safe. It has super-strong walls, floor and ceiling,
and a heavy locking door.
