Winchester Safes FAQs
Our customers frequently ask us questions related to locks, installation and troubleshooting.
General FAQs
1) Where can I find a copy of my Owner’s Manual?
CLICK HERE to search our collection of current and discontinued model Owner’s Manuals.
2) How can I prevent dampness or moisture in my safe?
3.) Do I need to bolt down (anchor) my safe?
Yes, it is very important that you bolt down (anchor) your safe to the floor for added security protection. An anchored safe cannot be tipped and helps prevent break-ins by greatly reducing pry leverage. Thieves frequently try to tip a safe on its back to use their body weight to pry open the safe door.
4.) How do I bolt down my safe?
7) What if someone takes my keypad? Can they get into my safe?
9) Can my order be shipped to a P.O. box?
No. We apologize for any inconvenience, but UPS, FedEx and long haul truckers will not ship packages to P.O. boxes.
10) Do the safes that you manufacture meet the California DOJ requirements?
Yes. Every single Winchester Safe produced meets the California DOJ requirements. All safe models built with 12 ga. or thicker steel are U.L. Listed as a Residential Security Container (RSC). U.L. listing supersedes the California DOJ requirements for safes. Additionally, all Winchester safes are built with U.L. Listed locks.
FAQs on Locks
1.) I lost the combination or keys to my safe. What should I do?
For your protection, the most important aspect of this process is for us to verify the true ownership of the safe. Please go to the COMBINATION/KEY REQUEST section of this website and follow the instructions. You will be required to provide a notarized signature and/or proof of purchase. Once completed, fax or mail the forms to us for processing, there is a $25.00 charge for this service.
2) What kind of battery should I use in my electronic lock?
High security electronic safe locks are very sensitive to battery power. We highly recommend the use of only a 9-volt ALKALINE ENERGIZER® or DURACELL® battery. They’ve been strenuously tested and proven to last longer during safe lock operation.
3) What should I do if my electronic lock drains my battery quickly?
If the correct battery is installed (9-volt ALKALINE ENERGIZER® or DURACELL®), the battery should last about six (6) months with normal operation. If your battery fails within a week, contact our Technical Service Department at 877-948-6723 (877-9GUNSAFE) or 469-735-4901.
4) How do I replace the battery in my electronic lock?
Click on the link BATTERY INSTALLATION and select your electronic lock and follow the instructions.We highly recommend the use of only a 9-volt ALKALINE ENERGIZER® or DURACELL® battery. They’ve been strenuously tested and proven to last longer during safe lock operation.
5) If my battery goes dead, will I lose my combination?
No, you will not lose your combination. The combination is retained in the lock even after power is lost. Simply install a new battery and operate the lock in a normal manner.We highly recommend the use of only a 9-volt ALKALINE ENERGIZER® or DURACELL® battery.

6) How do I change the combination in my electronic lock?
Click on LOCK INSTRUCTIONS and select the electronic lock installed on your Winchester Safe. Follow the instructions to change your combination. Important: Store your new combination in a safe place, other than your safe!
7) Can I change the combination in the mechanical (dial) lock?
No, you cannot change the combination. High security mechanical locks require special tools and lock expertise to change the combination. Please contact a licensed Safe Technician in your area and they will change your combination for a nominal fee.
8.) I enter my code in the electronic lock and I get five “beeps,” and the lock will not open. What does this mean?
Five “beeps” indicate that your lock battery is too low and you must replace it to operate your safe. Please insert a fresh alkaline battery into your lock and try your code again. You can find instructions for changing your battery.
9) I enter my code in the electronic lock and I get three “beeps” and safe will not open. I enter it again, and get two “beeps” and safe is locked out. Now what?
Three “beeps” in succession indicate that the lock does not recognize the code you entered as being valid. Verify your code and enter it again. If the lock still does not open, please go to our COMBINATION/KEY REQUEST section and follow the instructions. Once completed, fax or mail the forms to us for processing; there is a $25.00 charge for this service.
10) What is the factory code on an Electronic Lock?
(Which is why we suggest changing electronic lock combination to a personal code during initial setup of your safe. Store it in a safe place.)
