    Exactly ecto. When programming you can only turn the digits 'on or off' therefore they can't be 'sequenced'

    I'm assuming this one is no different.

    Why dont you ask the LL if it can be used and the code will be supplied.


    I have one outside one of the rental properties that I rent out...it is left over from a previous occupant...there is no key inside it and as yet tenants have never queried its use or if they could use it.
    It is not specifically mentioned in the tenany agreement although is photograped as part of the inventory


    These types of devices are commonly used when caring for people who wouldnt easily be able to get to the door to answer/let someone in...an example being care agencies who come in to tend clients




    Sorry just re read the original post...is your friend a tenant in a rented property,if so ask the LL...OR is he the new owner of the property wishing to remove it.

    So 4 digits, that makes 10*9*8*7=5040 combinations. 20 mins to try them all? Granted you might be lucky and hit it early, still...
    (Assuming it's the same as the Keysafe) there are 10 physical keys, each of which can only be used once at a time. There are only 210 possible combinations, it's a piece of cake.

    Absolutely. I reckoned, when my mother had one some years ago, that 20 mins was the worst-case scenario (ie if you started with 1234 and the correct combination was the last one you tried, eg 7890).
