Can you do a video on how to clean and lubricate the wheels packs in those S&G safe locks ... I'm a apprentice locksmith ... thank you?

Employee had he safe drilled without the owner’s approval? And a locksmith went along with that?

Thanking you sir!

Can you change from an electric lock to a mechanical lock?

I have a ESL5 lock. I have had it for approximately 5 years. The battery went dead so I changed it and replaced it with a 9 volt Duracell battery. When I try to wake it up by hitting the "C" button no lights come on and no beeps. Any suggestions? I thought it might be in penalty mode, so I waited 15 minutes to see if I was are able to use the keypad, no go. Tried the same thing several times and always no go. Please If anyone can help me please respond. I am trying to avoid drilling the safe.

Thank you for your help.

That has to be one of the UGLIEST openings I've ever seen, short of being burned open.

What happens if my code got deactivated. I keep getting locked out because it doesn’t recognize my code.

Question how do you open door if that is broken because that part is on inside? Lol

Purchased my ESL5 about 14 years ago. Been noticing over the last 2-3 years I had to replace the Duracell batteries more often in order to open the safe. I understand there could be a bolt binding issue which drains the battery to overcome the binding. However, why did I start having these issues recently? Is the bolt mechanism wearing out? The solution is now to replace the battery every 3 months versus 9-12. I’m not opening the safe more frequently now versus during the first 10 years. Thank you BTW. Would you have a recommendation on a safe tech in my area? 91775

I guessed that might be the last one in existence, but several comments proved my supposition wrong. Watching you file the bolt hole made me appreciate the Mosler bolt-cup adjustment tool. I'd forgotten about that feature.

Had to do that with too much regularity; usually because of a gauled hinge pin. A time or two because of a broken hinge pin. Soaked the pins with PB Blaster, raised the safe slightly with the door open 90°, put couple of appropriately sized wood blocks under the door, lower the safe and start wiggling the door back and forth. Some times a wood block on top of the safe above the hinges had to be used with a 2 or 4 pound maul to move things along. I found a maul (short handled sledge, often called a drilling hammer) to be more efficient at removing hinge pins. Let the weight of the head do most of the work while you concentrate how the head meets the punch! Just be careful that the pin doesn't "rocket" out of the hinge. Badly gauled or broken hinge pins were replaced with appropriately sized drill rod. And I usually installed zerk fittings on the door leafs for future lubrication. I hated it when some idiot burglar used a hacksaw to try and cut the hinge pins, destroying the flat bearing surfaces. A LOT of work drilling and tapping for set screws and ball bearings. Expensive, but cheaper than new hinges and their installation (and a lot quicker). And you might be surprised at how much acid is in soft drinks! Lots of phosphoric acid in some.

Here's a question,for the past week or so as I dial in my code the lock makes me enter it twice before it opens. Could it be low batteries considering I use did every other day or so for the past 2 years or so? Thanks for any help and thanks for all that info

Are the 2 9v batteries in the Esl10 in series or parallel? Based on the answer, why could someone not hardwire a 9 or 18 volt DC power supply instead of batteries? Tired of replacing mine every few month.

That's crazy stuff guys, very well done.

It’s interesting to me that I cannot find any lock picking videos on a digital lock safe. Are they safer than and dial lock?

Not sure what’s happening here. You say slam. Slam what?

Or the keypad simply crapped the bed for no reason as my ESL10 did recently. They are a ticking time bomb that goes off with no warning and locks you out.

Where are you located

Keyword does not work any more, do you have idea what cuold be wrong. Thanks in advance.

I have an ESL10 that does not beep past either the "C" or "C" with 1st digit. I have replaced the batteries with multiple known good batteries, including brand new, guaranteed until 2027, Duracell batteries. I have also disconnected the communication cable and then reconnected it after 15+ min before reconnecting it. Nothing seems to help. I 100% know the passcode; same since I bought the house 10yrs ago. Opened maybe about once per year. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

I am having a problem opening my ESL5. Every time I press a number it beeps and flashes. As a matter of fact any number I press it beeps and flashes. The battery is new and it’s a Duracell battery 9V. Thank you

Great video - thank youuu

That feature of entering as many numbers as you want before hitting final “6” is awesome!!

Thanks for your video. It helped me manipulate one open today

How do I cancel the 10 minute timer on this?

This is pretty basic, but my ESL wasn't working after I changed the batteries because I put the two Duracells in side by side with the plus side up on both, When I put one battery in with the plus side down - Voila - it worked! Who knew?

I'm a locksmith in e ky.i have one of them

Duracell batteries have ruined several of my flashlight I'd never buy them again now made in China.

We have an ESL10 lock. We’ve changed the batteries. The key pad will beep on the C and the first digit of the combination but the rest of the keypad is silent. We’ve disconnected and reconnected the cable and still only the C and first number of the combo beep. What else could be the issue?

I have an American Security safe ESL10. When I enter the correct combination the door doesn't open. I can turn the handle all the way to the left and all the way to the right. I can even turn the handle without entering the combination. Any suggestion?

I appreciate the video! But too much talking, just get to the point!

How to reset? Light remains on, only “C” works. Thanks

HereForTheTea I knew you was fine🤣Respectfully

I love that Anti-peep (spy-proof) you did. Inlove the fact that you can enter as many random digits as you want. At 4:40

1:40 My favorite feature. Anti-peep (spy proof) where you can enter as many random digits as you want.

1:40 My favorite feature. Anti peep and you can enter as many random digits as you want.

I'm retired from 40 yrs as a locksmith and safe tech. You didn't mention bound boltwork. I had many instants where handle had no play or did seem to have play but items inside the safe where pushed against the back of the door or in the corner blocking the bolt ends, a few I could not release. Try to hold handle in locked direction while entering code. Also I had trouble with some of the yellow Pro Cell batteries not having enough power for the big ESL 10 solenoid, copper tops always worked. The ESL 10 is the most reliable lock around. Nice helpful video.

I have an ESL10 unit, replaced batteries with Duracell, cleaned the phone type connector, no noticeable damage to wiring, unit beeps correct buttons but on pressing the pound key I hear something clicking inside the safe but can not open. I see screws for removing the base of the unit but surely if I was able to get to the mechanism inside any one could do it. Help please.

Is there a number I can call

3:53 lady just stand under the safe recording.....impressive.....

This is very helpful. Thanks man!

AmSec ESL10 will not open. No beeps or LED flashes upon pressing any keys. New batteries, wires OK. Power is to the keypad PC board header. Reseated the keypad ribbon cable and deadbolt RJ, still completely dead - no reaction to any keystrokes. I am assuming the keypad has died and needs to be replaced. 1 year warranty on the AmSec locks? Is it common for AmSec electronic locks to have a lifespan like this? Is this something a replacement lock will eventually do again? Is there a longer-lived, more dependable replacement available for retrofit?

My ESL20 is still locked out even after the 5 minutes.

This key works this key doesn't show you again this key workd this key doesn't show you again this key works this key doesn't show you again this key works this key doesn't. Maybe he got to a point but I gave up.

I've just acquired one of these sates with that type of keypad on it. I do not have the code. How do I reset it? I have the serial number. Do I just give you a call? And maybe for a little fee, you can help me out?

Will your keypad make noise or light up if not hooked up to the lock mechanism???

Nicely done by both these professionals! I have the very same safe and it took 3 smaller guys to install it!😮😅😂
