How do I reset my s&g 6120 safe lock?
Use the Management Reset Code to Reset my S&G 6120 Lock?
The Sargent and Greenleaf Management Reset code (MRC) is a 7 digit code. The 2 numbers in the MRC that are separated by a "/" or are in "[]" have to be entered simultaneously – press both numbers at the same time.
Execute the MRC sequence using the following steps:
- 1. Press * 6 #
- 2. Now enter the MRC
- 3. After entering the MRC, press #
You will hear 1 beep for each time the MRC has been executed. (If this is the first time that the MRC has been executed, you will hear only 1 beep.)
EX: *6# 135 0/1 87 #
The Master Code has now been reset to the Factory Default of 123456# Enter the Master Code 123456#, and the lock will open.
This reset code is applicable to the following locks: S&G 6120, 6123, Z02 Locks
The code is entered, lock does not open, lock emits 2 braps (long beeps).
Problem:
The code is entered but Lock does not open and the Keypad emits 2 braps.
Cause:
The 2 braps indicate that the lock is in "Penalty Time". Penalty time occurs when 4 or more incorrect codes have been entered. Penalty time can also occur if an error was made while performing a combination change. This feature safeguards against unauthorized entry into the safe.
Solution:
Leave the battery(s) in the keypad. Do not touch the keypad for 5 -15 minutes. Earlier model 6120 had a penalty time phase of 15 minutes. After 15 minutes (max) the lock will reset itself and the correct code can now be entered to open the lock.
