Will the unit alarm after a predetermined number of failed attempts? Or can someone just repeatedly enter codes until they get the right one?

I believe that there is a "cut off" that will put the unit to sleep for a period of time (determined by YOU) after 3 or 4 wrong codes entered. There is a Z-Wave capability that may be able to send a text to the homeowner if the wrong code is entered too many times, but I don't believe it would actually cause a burglar alarm to sound. I hope this helps.

If you can locate the fob brain box and get the numbers off of it then you will know for sure. I lucked out and had a fob already but it just didnt work and I matched the numbers and presto...problem solved.

I've had the same lock for 5 years now using the same code, and there is no signs of wear on the numbers. My code only uses 3 of the the 5 buttons, so if there was any wear, it would be pretty obvious.

If it happen remote entry before it is highly likely to work. The instruction that it came with are a good guide line but they are not perfect. It took a little persuading to get it to work. But it works great!

Yes, but after you put in the code push the "A" button. I have 2 of these & like them both.

When the alarm signal goes off, and cannot be reset. Also, when this happens you have to buy a new unit. This just happened to me, so I can speak from experience. Good luck.

Yes. The alarm tech will have to program it on site at your key pad. At least that's what ADT did, indicating I couldn't do it myself due to keeping their "codes" private. Make sure they don't erase any other dongle codes during programming if you have more than one of these dongles in use. It will take 15 minutes for them to program it.

I don't know. Probably, I'd guess. Whichever one got the dial tone or called first. One other thing to mention...don't place the sensor anywhere a mouse might walk in front of it. I figured that out after the second time it alerted me (and the county sheriff) about a possible intruder at my lake home.

As I remember my locks came set on zero waiting for my combination to be set. If the one that won't open was set to another number and the key pulled then the only way to open it is to try every possible combination. I'm sure Amazon will replace it as defective.

I purchased this safe close to a year ago. My husband thought he remembered there may have been instructions in the box but isn't sure. Our key was also locked inside the safe. It may have had a generic keypad combination code like 123 or 111 we just don't remember for sure. Sorry we couldn't help.

I really do not think so - when you change the code, you actually pull pins from the inside of the unit. You can adjust how many digits the code has by inserting dummy pins. But the order of the numbers is not part of the code - just that all numbers are pressed. That is, code 1-2-3 is the same as 3-2-1...the numbers effectively "stay in" when you press them until you turn the knob or clear the code (the "C" button is not very clearly marked.

All you need to do is match the codes. In the instructions says something about it. If I remember you need to press the lock key for a few seconds while you switch the M1 buttons. I still need to do it myself. I havent been able to do it because my unit doesn't have a signal.

I have never been shut out by entering the incorrect code, however, according to the manual after 3 incorrect tries auto lockout will lockout for 20 seconds, before you can try again. Should you incorrectly enter the security code an additional 3 times there bill be a 5 minute lockout before the code can be tried again. Better have an alternate plan if you are securing weapons...

I have the same issue, so when I go to use it, I actually hit the enter button first, then I enter the code number followed by the enter button again. Then it works on the first try. I figure it just needs to 'wake up' first.

Yes. This has happened twice now. At first I assumed that I set the time wrong however, the alarm was going off at a different time.

If you have an answering machine connected to the same line as the alarm you can still call in to check. If, for example, the answering machine picks up after 4 rings, the way to access the alarm is to call, let it ring 3 times, hang up and call again. The alarm "remembers" the first call so it will now pick up during the second call. You will be given current readings without having to enter a remote access code, but to do anything else you will need to use one.
