A few things to consider when deciding where to install your Landport:
1. Landport will function best on a stable, firm and level surface that has good
drainage.
2. Landport should be readily accessible
to delivery personnel and other users.
3. Do not place Landport where its lid
will be obstructed (such as under a branch),
or where you can’t open the lid completely
(such as too close to a wall). We recommend
a distance of 4” measured from the back of
the Landport to the wall behind it. (Fig. 1)
4. Avoid installing Landport where water
or snow may accumulate.
5. You may want to give some thought to the amount and intensity of sun
exposure your Landport will receive throughout the year. Landport’s steel
body can heat up and become hot to the touch if left in direct sunlight.
Also, a darker colored Landport like brown or black will absorb more heat.

4”
You have the option to anchor Landport at 1, 2, 3 or all 4 points. We have
included one anchor for you, but the decision is up to you. More anchors
mean more security. The shoes hide the bolts, so it won’t be obvious where
or how your Landport is anchored to the surface.
Note: If you decide to get more anchors, purchase 3/8” diameter, 3” long
stainless steel wedge anchors. Using stainless steel prevents rust.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Please read and follow all safety instructions when using power equipment.
We strongly recommend using protective eyewear and earplugs when using
the hammer drill.

INSTALLATION METHODS
If you are not comfortable installing Landport yourself, we suggest you
seek a contractor or an experienced handyperson to do the job. For such
a professional, installing Landport should be a quick and easy process.

SECURING LANDPORT
TO EXISTING CONCRETE
The following installation procedure applies to existing concrete driveways,
walkways, porches or patios. Expect to drill into the material and insert anchors.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
• Roto hammer or hammer drill, which can be found at Home Depot tool
rental or similar tool rental outlets.
• 3/8” masonry drill bit - carbide is recommended.
• 1 or more 3/8” diameter stainless steel concrete wedge anchors 3” in length.
• A hammer.
• A 9/16” combination wrench, adjustable wrench or 9/16” socket wrench.
• Chalk, marker, crayon, pencil – anything that can be used to mark the
concrete for drilling.
Note: Landport anchor hole is 1/2”; we recommend 3/8” diameter bolts.

INSTALLING THE WEDGE ANCHORS
Step 3Step 2Step 1Step 4
1. Position your Landport where
you want it.
2. Mark the holes with chalk or
other marker.
3. Move Landport out of the way.
1. Wrap a bit of visible tape around
the drill bit at 3 ¼”– then you’ll know
when to stop drilling.
2. Drill a 3 ¼” deep hole into the
concrete using a 3/8” bit, drilling ¼”
more than the length of the anchor.
3. Clean the concrete dust out of the
hole with a vacuum.

1. Remove the nut and the washer
from the wedge anchor.
2. Hammer the wedge anchor bolt
into the hole. The threaded part of
the bolt should be up, such that the
wedge is in the bottom of the hole.
1. Place the shoe over the wedge
anchor bolt and position the Landport
over the shoe and the bolt.
2. Attach the washer and the nut to the
anchor bolt from inside the Landport.
3. Tighten the nut 2 - 3 complete
turns. This will cause the wedge to
expand and anchor into the concrete.

OTHER INSTALLATION OPTIONS:
TO A WOOD PORCH OR DECK
If you can access the underside of your wood porch or deck, use nuts and bolts.
If you can’t access the underside of the wood porch or deck, you can secure
your Landport with 3/8” x 3” lag bolts. Drill a 5/16” pilot hole first. (Fig. 2)
Note: We recommend using stainless steel hardware to prevent rusting.

Deck
If the installation methods described aren’t possible, you can also:
1. Secure Landport to a concrete footing using a threaded rod.
2. Pour a new concrete slab and secure using a threaded rod.
LANDPORT CARE
To clean Landport use a soft cloth, water and a nonabrasive mild detergent
cleanser, such as dish washing liquid or car washing detergent. Do not use
solvents such as paint thinner, acetone or nail polish remover, which may dull
the finish.
TOUCH-UP PAINT
Black - RAL* 9005
Blue Gray - RAL 7031
Cream - RAL 9010
Red - RAL 3013
Brown Black - RAL 8022
*RAL ia a color matching
standard for powder coating.
If Landport gets scratched, we recommend
applying oil on the scratch to temporarily
delay rusting.
We also recommend touching up the
scratch with the appropriate paint as soon
as possible. Please see Parts & Accessories
at www.theLandport.com for information
on ordering touch up paint.

OPERATING & PROGRAMMING THE KEYPAD
Fig. 5
NOTE: The 2 numbers on each key represent a choice. For example 1/2 means 1 or 2.
Thus the keypad has 5 distinct keys. A code of 1-3-5-7-9 is the same as 2-4-6-8-0.
This is the same convention used by automobile manufacturers. (Fig.5)
The Keypad has 2 modes:
1. Operating Mode – regular use
2. Programming Mode – setting Administrator and Access Codes
The Keypad has 2 types of codes:
1. Administrator Code (one)
2. Access Code (up to five)
OPERATING MODE
When you press the buttons in Operating Mode, you will hear 1 beep for
each button press.
When the correct Access Code is entered, you will hear the keypad make
2 short beeps and the latch will release to unlock the Landport.
PROGRAMMING MODE
When you press the buttons in Programming Mode, you will hear 2 beeps
for each button press.
Programming mode enables the Administrator (that’s you!) to set Access
Codes.
You are the keeper of the keys or, in this case, the keypad Access Codes.
You can assign up to 5 dierent Access Codes for other people, such as
delivery personnel, friends and neighbors, and reset these codes as needed.
The Administrator Code is the master code that allows you to set Access
Codes.

NOTE: All Landports come with the preset Administrator Code of 7-7-7-7-7
and a preset Access Code of 1-3-5-7-9. Please change these codes prior to
use or the items in the Landport will not be secure.
CHANGING THE ADMINISTRATOR CODE
IMPORTANT: Changing the Administrator Code resets all Access Codes.
The black square button at the bottom of the black metal enclosure is the
button to start setting the Administrator Code sequence. (Fig. 6)
[See: Setting the Administrator Code Pg. 19-20]
PROGRAMMING THE ACCESS CODES
The center button in the keypad is the button used to start setting the
Access Codes sequence. (Fig. 7)
[See: Setting the Access Codes Pg. 21-22]

ASSIGNING CODES TO KEYPAD POSITIONS
IMPORTANT: Codes are assigned to positions. (Fig. 8)
1/2 = Position 1 - an Access Code and an Administrator Code
3/4 = Position 2 - an Access Code
5/6 = Position 3 - an Access Code
7/8 = Position 4 - an Access Code
9/0 = Position 5 - an Access Code
Pos. 1 Pos. 2 Pos. 3 Pos. 4 Pos. 5
The Administrator Code is assigned to Position 1.
The Access Codes are assigned to Positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Changing the Administrator Code will erase all previously set Access Codes
in Positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
You can assign up to 5 dierent Access Codes. As additional Access Codes
are assigned, existing Access Codes are overwritten.

DEACTIVATION SECURITY FEATURE
After repeated entering of incorrect codes (20 button presses without enabling
the system), the keypad is deactivated for 1 minute. This helps prevent
unauthorized access with random codes. While the keypad is deactivated,
no beeps will sound.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
The keypad normally runs on 12 volts. When the keypad is at a voltage level
of 9.0V or less, the keypad provides a short beep 0.5 seconds after unlocking.
This indicates that it’s time to replace the batteries.
