Your Safe’s Unique Identification Numbers
When contacting Consumer Affairs, you should be prepared to supply some

Most First Alert® safes include a small metallic silver or gray tag affixed to one
of the surfaces. This tag is usually located on the front or right side of the safe.
This tag contains the Serial Number, and on selected models a similar tag is
attached containing the Model Number. If a Model Number tag is not attached
to the safe, then it can be located on the front or side panel of the box that the
safe was packaged in. Write this number down for future reference.

also imprinted on the Key lock.
