Help Brinks hanging key lock box

Postby GinMar » 7 Jun 2018 8:10

I am new to this site and I do not want to learn how to pick locks. I just bought a hanging lock box from Brinks to put a key in. It locks with a code, using 4 numbers. I got it open using 0 0 0 0 and then I closed it without resetting the code (or so I thought), now I can't get it open again. I haven't even used it yet, it's brand new. I need help getting it opened. Any advice?

Hello,
Would you have a pic of it or perhaps a link to amazon so we can see which model you got?

Thanks

Here is a video of the cover being closed and opened,



any chance you are pulling on the wrong edge of the box? is the shackle clicked down all the way? rotate the numbers all the way around from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 all the way back to 0 0 0 0 and see if that helps.

you could see if something got bumped and it's 1 number off, maybe try 1 0 0 0 or 9 9 9 9 or 1 1 1 1 or 0 0 0 1, 0 1 0 0, and 0 0 1 0

good luck,
Squelchtone
