  1. I can’t get my key to turn when inserted into the lock.

Please make sure the key number on your keys matches the key number on the key lock.

  1. Why does my safe include 4 keys?

Depending on which model you have, some models will include 4 keys. Two (2) Companion keys, and Two (2) Emergency Override keys. The companion key is used with the Entry code, and the Emergency override keys allow you to gain access to the safe without the Entry code at any given time.

  1. I own more than one Honeywell safe. Can all my safes be keyed alike?

No, for security purposes the Honeywell factory ships out the units with random key numbers. This is to ensure the security so there are no duplicate key numbers.

Batteries

This depends on the model number of your safe. Generally, most safes require (4) AA alkaline batteries. However, if unsure, then you should refer to your operation manual or contact LH Licensed Products, Inc. customer service.

  1. How often should I change the batteries in my safe?

Batteries should be replaced with a fresh set at least once a year. However, if access to the safe is made on a regular basis then replacement should be made more often. Always replace with alkaline or lithium batteries.

  1. Wrong code entered. What does the message HoldO5 mean?

Almost all LH Licensed Products, Inc. digital safes have built in security to prevent unauthorized access to the safe when the password is unknown. If the incorrect password is entered onto the keypad 3 or more times, the safe will automatically revert to the security lockout mode. This will prevent the continued entry of all passwords for at least 5 minutes. When the lockout period ends continued attempts to enter a wrong password will put the safe back into a lockout mode. During this time access to the safe can only be made using the emergency override key.

Note: All safe times are different please refer to the manual for model lockdown times.

  1. Can my safe be permanently secured to a floor or wall?

Depending on the safe, the answer is yes. All LH Licensed Products, Inc. Steel Security Safes and certain Fire safes include factory pre-drilled mounting holes. Included with these safes is also the necessary hardware needed to secure in place. However, depending on the type installation required, additional hardware and/or the help of a professional installer may be required. You should refer to the operation manual provided with the safe and if you have additional questions, you should contact LH Licensed Products, Inc. customer service.

  1. What is the best and safest way to clean my safe?

If you need to wipe down your safe, use a non-abrasive cleaner like Windex and a soft rag or paper towel. Never use abrasive cleaners, abrasive sponges or chemical cleaners as they could permanently damage the surface and/or faceplate of the safe.

Fireproof/Waterproof

  1. Is my safe Fireproof and if so for how long?

This depends on the type and model number of the safe you are inquiring about. Your operating manual will provide you with this information and you can also contact LH Licensed Products, Inc. customer service. Be prepared to give the representative the model number of your safe.

  1. What is the difference between fireproof and fire resistant?

Fireproof means the item can withstand a fire for a period of time without fire damage to contents and have been tested by a 3rd party. Please see manual for rating.

 Fire resistant means safes can withstand high temperatures but has not been tested by a 3rd party.

  1. What does the UL Listing mean?

When deemed necessary, certain LH Licensed Products, Inc. products are submitted for independent testing to establish performance standards for that product. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is one of the independent testing facilities used to evaluate and test our products.

  1. What does the UL 1-hour fire rating mean?

The UL 1-hour fire rating means that the inside of your safe will maintain an interior temperature of 350° or less for up 1 hour while outside temperature can reach 1700°. At this temperature, documents and valuables will remain protected. A safe with a 2-hour fire rating will maintain an interior temperature for up two hours.

  1. I noticed moisture in my fire safe. Is this normal?

Because most fire safes are airtight, moisture can slowly develop on the inside. This is especially true in regions of high humidity. For this reason, it is recommended that safes be opened at least once or twice a month to allow air to circulate and to also examine the contents. It is also recommended that 1 or 2 silica gel packs or a small dehumidifier be placed in the safe to help keep moisture buildup to a minimum. Another good idea is to place important documents (passports, certificates, deeds, etc.) into a zip lock type bag prior to placing in the safe.

  1. Is my safe waterproof and if so for how long?

Please refer to the manual to check the Fire Rating. If you’re still unsure, please contact Customer service at LHLPcustomerservice@LHLPinc.com or by phone 877-354-5457.

  1. What is the difference between waterproof and water resistant?

Waterproof means the item can be submerged in water for a period of time without water damage to contents. Verified testing by a 3rd party. Please see manual for rating.

Water resistant means safes can be sprayed with water without water getting inside but has not been tested by a 3rd party. Check your operating manual for rating. 

  1. Can I store medication inside my safe?

Instruction manual warning states safes/chests are not intended for the storage of medications, firearms, ammunition, or combustible items of any kind.  

Due to the airtight seal, if you forget to open your safe and air it out occasionally, there will be moisture buildup inside the unit. If not aired out the moisture will accumulate and cause mold. This not only applies to the Honeywell branded safes, but for all safes in general that label their safe fire/waterproof and not fire/water resistant.
