Frequently Asked Questions - 2087F FIRST ALERT

How do I set or change the digital code on my First Alert 2087F safe?

Press the reset button inside the safe (with door open). Enter a new 3-8 digit code on the keypad, then press the ‘A’ or ‘B’ button to confirm. Refer to the manual for exact steps.

What should I do if I forget my safe code?

Use the backup key to open the safe. Insert the key into the override lock (usually behind a cover) and turn. You can then reset the code using the reset button.

How do I mount the safe to the floor or wall?

Use the included mounting hardware. Pre-drill holes using the mounting template, then secure the safe with the provided bolts and anchors.

What type of battery does the safe use and how long does it last?

The keypad operates on a 9V battery (not included). Battery life varies with use, typically lasting up to one year. An indicator light will flash when the battery is low.

Is the First Alert 2087F fireproof?

Yes, it is fire-resistant up to 1 hour at 1700°F (927°C). However, it is not fully fireproof; avoid storing highly sensitive items.

Can a locksmith open my safe if I lose both keys and forget the code?

A professional locksmith may be able to open it by drilling or using specialized tools, but this could damage the safe. It is best to keep spare keys in a secure location.

What are the interior dimensions?

Interior dimensions are approximately 7.2 x 5.2 x 5.2 inches (18.3 x 13.2 x 13.2 cm), leaving room for small valuables like jewelry or documents.

Does the safe have an alarm?
