Milockie Hotel Safe Lock- A Tamper Evident and Secondary Lock for Safes

Product Information

Remember Your Code: Remembering the code you’ve set is crucial, as you’ll need it to reopen the safe. If you’re worried about forgetting, consider writing it down somewhere secure or using a number that’s significant to you. Some hotel safes are not designed to be used in a hotel with many guests. The hotel manager or owner didn’t know or care to buy proper hotel safes. That is to say, you have the master code to program your combination yourself which is a bit tedious. If it is open, either it is a regular electronic safe, and in this case, you will need the master code. Or it is a hotel safe and you don’t reset the code, you set it. See above: by dialing twice the desired new code or by pressing a red button behind the door and setting the code. Hotel safe won’t open This is a very old room safe model and is becoming rarer as time passes as hotels remodel and replace them with newer electronic versions. Yes, they do have spare keys, but reputable hotels don’t keep them accessible – even to management. It’s often kept in a fire-safe with either the general cashier or hotel management – we would hope – but many times who knows where this key is and who has access to it? Where Do Hotel Room Safe Thefts Occur? However, some hotels do take the time and reset the master code of their safes, and you will have to ask for somebody to come and open your safe by resetting the code. At which point you should be asked to provide information proving this is your room.

Changing the override code is the responsibility of the hotel. However, in reality, this practice is overlooked. Hotel guests do forget their hotel safes codes. This is normal. If a hotel guest forgets their safe code, they should understand that the hotel staff normally do have a way of opening the hotel safe. You dial the code and forget to press enter or open (not all safes just open after dialing the code)Sliding Drawer: Opening the hotel safe by means of a sliding, pull-out container, in the same way that a drawer is opened. Once the hotel safe is opened, the front door and the safe box container move horizontally for the hotel guest to deposit the belongings to be guarded. This hotel safe format enjoys great popularity in hotel chains that install the safe in desks and in the lower part of auxiliary furniture. Hotels might decide their clients need laptop sized safes if they mainly have business customers whereas smaller hotels might prefer to go with smaller sized safes which would be suited for smaller items such as camera’s, iPods, passports, cash and keys.

Some hotel safes can also be opened using a master key. However, master keys are not provided to the hotel visitors and are used solely by the hotel’s employees. These types of hotel room safes require the use of an override *sequence*, not just a PIN number. This type of safe is almost as good as the one previously mentioned, as it contains a removable chip, which can access all the same data as above. Electronic Keypad Access With Manual Safety Key These room safes are not as secure as the previous two. This style requires the moving of the safe to enter a key and entering an override code. They record the time and date of the override entry, but nothing else. Refer below as to who *should* hold the spare key. Manual Key Safe With Safety Key Access Front Door: This is the most common format for the installation of safes in hotels. A side hinge holds the hotel safe door which is opened both in standard opening format and with a 110° wide opening. The option of opening the hotel safe at an angle of 110° minimises the risk of damaging larger belongings, such as a laptop computer, on inserting and removing them from the safe. Keep in mind that if you see 3 or 5 greasier (if that exists) keys, it might be a 4 or 6-digit combination where a digit is used twice. It has happened to me once: I couldn’t guess a code with that method, and when I asked the owner, he gave me a 6 digit-combination instead of a 5 one.

It is rarely the case that you are given the key to your safe with the key to your room. It has happened to me a couple of times, though. In that case, the key to the safe is put in a ring with the key to your room and the only thing to do is to make sure not to lose them both. If you want to use the safe, ask for the key. You might have to give a deposit. The hotel manager has spares, just in case. But let’s move forward. Electronic or mechanical combination The problem with poor hotel safes is that it is difficult to file a complaint if they are not broken open. With no traces, it will be hard to maintain you had your cash inside… Hotel safe default codes You have to dial the master code, press set or ok, dial your chosen code, press ok again, and dial your code a last time to confirm. In that case, the manager has a master key. It is not intuitive, yes, but more importantly, it is less safe or not safe at all. You never know who has the master code you were given. How to reset the code on a hotel safe Safeguard M-Plus represents polyvalence in terms of hotel safes, and provides the balance of safety, features and convenience most demanded by hotel safe users. Master code: The most common way hotel staff will reset the code of your hotel safe is by using the master code.
