Motorized Electronic

Operating

Combination Lock

The Sargent & Greenleaf Model 6120 combines ease of operation with security. Its advanced

electronic circuit design makes it easy to open and easy to change codes. Follow these

instructions carefully to get the best possible use from your lock.

Instructions

INTRODUCTION

• The Sargent & Greenleaf Model 6120 Motorized Electronic Combination Lock is shipped from the
factory with a factory master code only. It is 1 2 3 4 5 6 #. This code is used to open the lock
and set or change all of its codes. If the safe maker or your dealer sets a new master code, he will
advise you of the change. You should set the lock to your own, unique master code immediately.

• The Model 6120 will always open on the master code. At your discretion, it can also be set to
accept up to eight different user codes. The master code holder is responsible for maintaining the
number of active users programmed into each lock. The master code is designated as code #1,
and the user codes (if set) are designated by user I.D. number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The
user codes do not exist until they are programmed into the lock.

• Each time a button is pressed and the lock accepts the input, it emits a “chirp,” and the LED on the
keypad lights momentarily.

• All codes must contain six digits or six letters. Any digit or letter can be used as many times as you
wish. For instance, the following codes (while not recommended) will operate the lock:

5 5 5 5 5 5 # OR J J J J J J

• All codes end with #. This signals the lock that you have finished entering all digits of the code.

• If you pause more than 10 seconds between pressing buttons when entering a code, the lock will
assume you do not want to continue, and it will reset itself to the original code. To open the lock,
begin the code entry sequence from the first step.

• If you realize you have pressed an incorrect button when entering a code, press* or simply pause
ten seconds or more, then begin entering your code again.

• If four incorrect codes are entered in a row, the Model 6120 will shut down for a period of up to
fifteen minutes. This is a security feature. Pressing any button anytime during the lockout period will
resent the timer to its maximum penalty time. Do not touch any keypad buttons for a period of
fifteen minutes, then enter any valid code to open the lock.

• The model 6120 does not have audit trail capabilities.

TO OPEN THE LOCK . . .

Press the code digits or letters in order, followed by #. The lock bolt will retract for six seconds,
allowing you time to operate the safe handle and open the door. Do not put any pressure on the
safe handle until after the code has been entered. The Model 6120 will lock automatically when
the safe door is closed and the handle is turned to the locked position.

WARNING: No Audit Trail Capabilities. Note: The Master Code Holder is responsible for maintaining the number
of active users programmed into each lock.

IN CASE OF TROUBLE

If your lock should fail to open when a valid code is entered, check for the following:

1. The boltwork of a safe can, under certain conditions, place pressure on the side of the
lock’s bolt. This is often caused by something inside the safe pressing against the door or by
something caught between the safe door and its frame. When this occurs, the lock will not
operate properly. To relieve side pressure on the lock bolt, move the safe’s handle to the fully
locked position, then re-enter a working code. The lock should open.

2. If the lock “chirps” when keys are pressed, but it will not open, the batteries may be
drained to the point that they will not operate the lock’s motor. Follow the battery replace­ment procedure in this manual.

3. If the lock makes no sound when any of the keys are pressed, dead batteries are likely to
be the cause. Follow the battery replacement procedure in this manual.

4. If the lock makes no sound when any of the keys are pressed, but the batteries have
been checked and found to be good, a loose keypad connector may be the cause. Pull the
keypad away from the base as described in the battery changing procedure. Check to make
sure the wire connector is firmly seated into its receptacle on the keypad circuit board. The
connector is designed so that it will only slide into the receptacle when aligned correctly.

If all of the preceding remedies have been exhausted and the lock still does not open, contact a
qualified safe technician in your area for professional service.
