Making An Electronic Safe Manual | Replacing A Keypad With A Dial

- Today, Guardian Safe & Lock had a customer purchase a Hollon FB-685E Oyster series safe that presented us with a unique video opportunity: Making an electronic safe manual!
After a standard shift, Uriah got to record the process of removing an electronic keypad lock from a safe and mounting a new mechanical combination dial. Manual dials have many complex and moving parts inside of the lock pack, and a lot of variables must be accounted for to ensure the proper functioning of the safe after swapping over to one.
This safe presented an additional challenge: The original electronic keypad's mounting was not centered, making for a few extra steps necessary to mount the manual dial correctly.

Love the video? Have ideas for more topics for us to cover? Let us know here in the comments, and thank you for watching!
keedex makes a great spindle tool to use for marking and cutting spindle length. Much quicker and accurate!
Thanks for the heads up, and for watching! -Randall
Thank you man. You saved my safe. I have accidentally disconnected the lock wire, an watched this video to take the lock apart and assemble it back. Thank you!!!
Great video! The whole process and even additional tips - like showing the glass relocker!
Believe it or not, if you try to search on RUclips under three videos actually showing the glass plate relocker inside the safe and how it works! Thank you!
I understand why I would want mechanical over electronic, no messing with batteries. Was this why customer wanted change.
Thanks for this.
Kevin Koepke he was worried that it would fail on him.... they are very reliable, but with anything electronic you run a risk lol
I love this job, and I learn it in order to legally work as a lock smith!

Thanks for the upload. I bought an esafe because it was on sale at a good price but wanted a mechanical system .
I may try this but kinda afraid if I screw it up, I may have to put a latch with a combination lock. 😀
Was the hole in the back cover panel so that you can change the combination without having to take the plate off? Perhaps you could do a video of changing the combination next time. Good video.
Nice refit to manual. Nothing like the tactile feel of a mechanical dial. Love the content. Cheers:-)
Thanks for the compliments! We're glad you enjoy it, thanks for watching! -Randall
You need the right tool ,a drill no good ,,get a impact driver ,an stop stripping screws,
Each truck has both, I just prefer the drill.
Looks like you are riding the struggle bus on this video
Great video. I’m trying to figure out if the secuRAM e-lock is compatible with a S&G 6730 group 2 mechanical lock. It’s nice to see you tackle an unknown problem and still make the video. Thanks
It was a last minute video but thank you for watching!!
Not too big of a deal but i thought the spline key goes with the lever or foot pointing towards the outer side and not over the shaft? Im not sure if it matters but i just thought my S&G said it that way. Either way, good video.
Was that a zinc lever in the lock assembly (as opposed to a brass one)? I've heard that zinc has looser tolerances.
Is it the same process for the Hollon fb-450? Where can I get the parts and what are the part numbers?
Hi, my name Is Thus Frick and I want to know if my Unican safe changes battery. I bought ir from a person that was reselling hotel electronic safes.
should have put red thread lock on the short screws!
We bought a cannon gun safe from tractor supply. Has key pad that I don’t have a lot of faith in. Can I order a manual combo dial from you for it? Thanks
If you call our shop we can look into it for you, please call 832-534-8687 thanks.
Is there a certain mechanical or dial that you suggest for replacing a Securam on a Safari/Cannon safe?
Sometimes the keypads and dials are proprietary to the safe especially when getting budget friendly safes. Cannon is known for skimping on quality of keypads, but sometimes they are normal and can be swapped out with any other. I’d check with a local locksmith first but if you want to use a regular dial I’d go with Sargent and Greenleaf they are the best. Thx for watching! We have two other channels if interested: UDROpreneur and Guardian Approved, we would sure appreciate the subscription. Thx again!
Dude I have a Winchester safe that the number 2 on the key pad is messed up and won't let me in even tho I have the right combo what do I do. I've had the safe for like 10 years and don't have the receipt what do I do
Replace the keypad. Most come off from the outside and have a wire that unplugs from the KP, You can replace it with the door locked.
Get a center punch
We have them and use them, this was a last second grab your camcorder type of video. Didn’t have all the tools that the techs have at their disposal. Thanks for watching!
what does he mean by vertical down?
The direction the bolt or latch is facing
spline key is supposed to face out for most
diverdoug2 not sure what you mean the spline can only go in one way but in one of 4 spots.... VU, VD, LH, RH
Usually the spline key arm faces outwards
diverdoug2 no sir the spline points inward, pointing outward wouldn’t necessarily cause any issues that I can think of but I’m 100% sure it points inward. Anyway thx for watching! - Uriah
@@GuardianSafeAndLock Interesting, with Sergeant & Greenleaf 6000 and 8000 series locks, the manual states to have the back of the spline key point outwards. What type of lock were you installing?
diverdoug2 Hey Doug before I responded to you yesterday I called two other Safe technicians and asked that question, both with over 20 years experience and me with over 15 years experience and they all said point inward and so did I. But, I did my due diligence and looked up what you were saying and you are correct, it says over the cam and not over the spindle which is news to all three of us lol. Well I guess it really doesn’t matter bc none of us have ever had an issue but technically it does say that, guess you learn something everyday lol. - Uriah
Please help me my safe won't let me in. Even tho I know the code
Try a Duracell battery….. yes it has to be a Duracell
Will this work on a cannon safe? The key pads on cannon safes are worthless. Cannon safes and customer service is trash.
Lol that’s what we’ve heard..... sometimes the locks on cannon safes are proprietary but sometimes there not. It’s best to get a locksmith out and let him have a look at it.
Is that Vietnamese safe?
Lol no sir it’s a Hollon Safe, they are located in Corpus Christi, Texas.
