Setting up a Master Lock portable lock box typically involves setting your desired combination and then securing the box. The specific model (e.g., 5406D) might have slight variations, but the general process is similar.
Here's a general guide:
-
Open the Lock Box (If New): Many come preset to 0-0-0-0.
-
Locate the Reset Lever or Button: Inside the lock box, you'll usually find a lever or button. This is used to set a new combination.
-
Reset the Combination:
- With a Lever: Move the lever to the "up" or "left" (reset) position. Refer to your specific model's instructions for the exact positioning.
- With a Button: Press and hold the reset button.
-
Set Your New Combination: While the lever is in the reset position (or button is pressed), rotate the dials to your desired combination. Ensure you remember this combination!
-
Confirm the New Combination:
- With a Lever: Move the lever back to the original ("down" or "right") position. This locks in your new combination.
- With a Button: Release the button.
-
Test the Combination: Scramble the dials and then enter your new combination to ensure the lock box opens. If it doesn't open, repeat the process carefully.
-
Secure the Lock Box: Depending on the model, it can be hung over a doorknob or secured to a railing. Choose a secure location.
Important Considerations:
- Refer to the Model-Specific Instructions: Always consult the instructions that came with your specific Master Lock portable lock box model. There may be unique features or steps.
- Record Your Combination: Store your combination in a secure location separate from the lock box. Don't write it on the lock box itself.
- Test Thoroughly: After setting the combination, test it multiple times before relying on it.
