• Choose a personal code which must be between 3 and 8 digits. NOTE: You may only use each number/letter once
• Using a flathead screwdriver, rotate each button in your code 180 degrees, so that the raised nib (the black dot in the diagram) on each one faces the SET position.
• Re-secure the black plastic plate with the small screw, make sure you leave the door open to check your code

Changing your code

Fitting the key safe

To fit your Filex CR you will need the following tools:

• Power Drill
• 5mm Masonry Drill Bit
• Small Socket Driver
• 8mm Socket Head
• Marker Pen

NOTE: Your Filex CR should be fitted to a solid surface. We recommend brickwork, stone, concrete or steelwork
To start use the rubber cover as your template to mark the fixing holes on the wall. Ensure you choose a location that allows the best possible fixing e.g. the centre of a brick. N.B.
You must never fix into the mortar.

• Now use the 5mm drill bit to make a hole 55mm deep in each of the marked fixing holes
• Place the Filex CR inside the rubber case
• Open the door of your Filex CR and place the whole unit onto the wall lining up the holes.
• Push the fixing bolts that have been supplied with your Filex CR into each of the holes
• Tighten each bolt fully using a socket set

Troubleshooting

• Once the fitting is complete if the door closes but does not lock, test locking it when the door is in the open position. If it works, it is likely that the fixing bolts are protruding too far into the Filex CR. Try to secure them further into the wall and close the door again.
• If the buttons will not press, ensure that the dial is in the vertical position
• If your code does not work, press the ‘CLEAR’ button and start again
