Additional keys can be purchased from the Yale store.

With the door open and unlocked press the red programme button located on the edge of the battery compartment (Audible Beep). Now enter your desired code onto the keypad followed by the ENTER button to confirm (Melody Confirmation). The code entered should now be usable as your personal access code. For a copy of the instructions there is also a User Guide available for you to download from the website. For further assistance please contact our sales office on the number at the top of this page.

Good quality AA batteries should last between 12 and 18 months. When the batteries are running low a red light will appear on the keypad when entering your code.

This Safe does not come with a factory default pin. In order to gain access to the safe without a pin code you would need the to use the back up key provided.

We will always recommend that a safe is bolted to a floor or wall where possible as this increases security. The safe will function exactly the same if left free standing and can be used as such, but the potential for it to be removed is obviously increased. It may also affect your insurance cover if not bolted to a solid surface.

The key hole is hidden behind the yellow Yale logo on the front of the door. The logo slides upwards to reveal the key hole and this applies to all sizes in the Yale Value Series.

If you take a look at the close up images above you will see one showing the logo has moved and the back-up key has been inserted.

Two back up keys are supplied with the safe. If you need more, they can be purchased direct from Yale.

To fix this unit to the wall you would require an 8mm drill bit.

Please add an additional 20mm to the external depth dimensions to cover the depth of the keypad and handle.

Ideally you should not attach the safe to anything that is freestanding, it is recommended to base or wall fix it to concrete or brick. If you have no option other than the cupboard it is certainly better then nothing.

Unfortunately this safe does not have a tether cable. However I can recommend the Master Lock Portable Safe P008 which include one.

Unfortunately this safe does not have a time window feature. The time window feature is not available on any safe as standard.

You should have no problem inserting your 15" laptop in this safe. If you have a look at the video above you will see the lock mechanism will miss your laptop when it is laid on the base of the safe.

Unfortunately this safe carries no fire rating. However we do have a selection of Fire Safes which all have various levels of fire resistance.

The keypad on this safe has durable plastic membrane designed to allow daily use.

Unfortunately not, most safes that are manufactured come off the production line moulded by one singular template. However a left handed customisation could be done on a higher graded safe depending on the manufacturer.

This safe can be installed to an exterior wall, however this can only be done through the rear of the safe. There are no pre-drilled holes in the side walls of any of the safes only in the base and the rear.

This safe does not have a shelf inside the unit. Please see our range of laptop safes with shelves.

No all passwords are memorised you can only reset/change the password manually.

To reset the code, the safe door needs to be in a open position. There is a reset button on the back of the door, once pressed you will hear two beeps which will allow you to enter your new code followed by the key button. Further details can be found in the Yale Value Safe user guide.

If the batteries go flat you are supplied with 2 override keys to open the safe manually.

The PIN code for this safe can be 4 to 8 digits in length.

The Yale Value range are only available in black. The internal measurements are 190 x 420 x 300mm (HxWxD) and A4 documents would be fine.

The Value series by Yale are built for securing low value household items. They do not advertise an insurance rating on this range. If you are interested in a Yale safe, with an insurance rating, why not take a look at the Yale Certified Safes Series.

Unfortunately the Yale Value Laptop safe is only suitable for laptops with a maximum screen size of 15". For larger screen sizes you might want to consider the Safewell 20HG Hotel Safe.

This safe is designed for the storage of small amounts of cash or valuables only, it does not offer any fire protection. We do offer a range of Fire Safes on the website which may be more suitable should you wish to consider these.
