Getting To Know Your Safe 

The Clutch: 

All UL listed Rhino, Kodiak and Bighorn Safes come with a factory installed 

clutch.  The clutch will automatically disengage the shaft of the handle from 

the locking mechanism if the handle is rotated in either direction without first 

unlocking the lock. This helps prevent damage to the lock without requiring a 

failure somewhere else in the mechanism that would cause a lockout.  

If you suspect your clutch system is not functioning properly, do not attempt 

to adjust the clutch without consulting Rhino Tech Support as it will void the  

warranty and may cause a lockout to occur.  

The Lock: 

There are 4 types of locks that are used on Rhino, Kodiak and Bighorn safes.  

All 4 are UL listed for maximum theft protection and come with a 1 year man-

ufacturer’s warranty.  If you are interested in purchasing an extended warran-

ty, you have 30 days from the purchase of your safe to do so. For more infor-

mation, see the Accessory Sheet included in your safe, visit 

www.rhinosafe.com or contact a local dealer. 

-For operating instructions on LaGard and SecuRam electronic 

locks, see pages 9-10. 

-For operating instructions on Sargent and Greenleaf electronic 

locks, see pages 11-12. 

-For operating instructions on Sargent and Greenleaf manual 

locks, see pages 13-14. 

Inside Your Safe: 

Find the configuration that is right for you.  Most shelves are adjustable by 

moving shelf clips.  Make sure your shelves are level before loading them up.  

Always make sure long guns are resting securely in the gun barrel slots to  

prevent damage.   

If the humidity in your gun safe is a concern, consider purchasing a dehumidi-

fier to help prevent rust or tarnish on your guns and jewelry, or mildew on 

documents or paper in your safe.  More information on dehumidifiers is avail-

able from the Accessory Sheet, www.rhinosafe.com or contact a local dealer.
