Door Rattles When Shut
Verify that the handle is rotating
completely and that the locking bolts
are fully extending. Refer to the
DOOR ADJUSTERS section on Page 7.
DOOR ADJUSTERS
Most safe models have one or two adjusters for tightening or loosening
the door. These adjusters are located just inside the left side of the safes
doorjamb. After removing all packaging materials, close the door and extend
the bolts. Pull out on the door handle to check the tightness. If there is play
in the door, you will need to adjust
the slide. Using the supplied door
adjustment wrench, loosen the
two (2) adjuster screws. Slide the
adjuster left to loosen the door,
right to tighten the door. Re-tighten
screws and check door again for fit.
When properly adjusted, you should
feel slight resistance when turning
the handle to extend the door bolts.
Only slight movement should be
felt with the door shut.
Caution: Do not adjust door too
tight. This may cause wear on
both the door pins and locking
mechanism. If your door has a
tendency to self-open (the bolts retract by themselves) or the handle is hard
to turn when extending the bolts, the door adjusters may be too tight.
