Electronic Key Safe

[cts1975]

I have one these https://www.securikey.co.uk/product/electronic-key... fitted in one of my units. The mechanism is battery operated with 4 AA batteries. The mechanism has started to slow down and doesn't sound very convincing! I have changed the batteries for a set of brand new Duracell's but it still sounds slow/lazy when operating.
Does anybody have any experience with these ? Are they able to be repaired?
I could buy another but this one is seriously fixed/bonded to the wall so I would prefer to fix this one if possible.
Thanks

I’d guess that the general rule is they can’t be serviced as that creates a weak point.

Depending on your skills and the real need for security it may be able to take the housing for the mechanical bits of using a Dremel or similar, service the bits and then weld the housing back on.

It looks like the cover can be unscrewed from inside the door so I will give that a try. Thanks.

Maybe take the batteries out & see if you can spary the internals with some PTFE lubicant?

Will do thanks for the suggestion.

Looks like there's some screws on the lock mechanism to remove the cover? As mentioned if you can get to the moving parts then adding some silicone lubricant that might help. Otherwise it might be the motor wearing out, if you can get sight of a model number it's probably a very common type you can buy replacements for.
