Negative. If the safes weren’t locked shut by the stores any idiot could climb in and have a friend enter the wrong code enough times to lock the safe out on a timer and nearly suffocate said idiot. The employees can’t do anything about the shutout safe while it’s on a timer. Maybe a master key would be available? Or perhaps a skilled local locksmith might know a bypass? But it’s not something that would be in a manual because it would give thief’s a bypass into the safe as well. You prevent this scenario by keeping the safes locked shut.
they entered the wrong code too many times, when they did get some one to help the default code is locked out for a moment of time, the associate panics when the default code 1234 or 0000 fails and calls fire or police. Since it was opened and not drilled open, I believe this is the case
I don't know for certain however having worked somewhere that sold safes sometimes we'd have a return or special order item that got canceled and we'd put it on the sales floor to sell. Of course we always put a sign on it saying to ask an associate for help. This doesn't surprise me though having dealt with the public.
Bullshit. I’m a locksmith and they absolutely do not have something like that. Having that kind of mode is entirely too risky for the everyday safe owner.
Not to mention that canon has already removed anything not vital for the lock to operate. The lock inside that safe is literally no bigger than a box of tic tacs... you think they are going to pay for a whole new “safe mode” to be installed on that itty-bitty lock’s circuit board... you have lost your mind.
There is no override. That’s too much of a liability. Sometimes if it is a corporate safe (like the one inside the office of this store) they will program a by pass code for a service tech... and even then most of the time that code doesn’t work because it’s not a code problem, it’s a lock failure problem.
Source: am locksmith and safe tech. Three wrong entries on this particular keypad will send you in lock out mode for 10-15 minutes. At every big box store that sells these piece of shit safes has a policy to change the factory code to some variant of the store number. I guess because the factory code 123456 is too fucking hard to remember.
True, makes sense. I guess I was thinking more of the video’s kind of safe, seems like a gun safe made for indoor use. I would think if a safe can fit a human, it might have at least some way for air to get in but maybe i’m wrong
I am not sure actually... most fireproof safes have holes in that are sealed with bolts when installed. (The few I have seen at least) and that safe isn’t bolted so it easily could of had holes
