Do buttons get blocked after few unsuccessful combination tries? If yes, after how many?

I don't believe that they do. This is purely a mechanical lock - if you mess up entering the combination, just twist the dial counter-clockwise and try again. This is unlike an electronic safe w/ a "lock out period" after a certain number of incorrect entries, and would allow somebody to brute force guess a combination more quickly. However, the trade-off is this is not susceptible to battery or electronics failures (both of which I've experienced w/ the electronic safes.) Personally, I prefer the trade-off of better reliability to potentially more secure against brute-force guessing. Keep in mind, NO small, portable safe (or even big installed vault) is truly 100% secure. This is a very well built and solid unit, by the way - great for travel and/or vehicle storage.

no. Extremely simple operation. If you type it in wrong you just turn the knob to "clear"

Not that I am aware of. I wouldn't use this as a primary means to secure a weapon from an intruder that has any length of time to steal your firearms. I would use it as a means to prevent a child or otherwise unmotivated individual to gain access to a loaded firearm.

Mine doesn't block all numbers, but once you block one accidently you can never get it unblocked

Try all zeros and try one number +/- on each of the four digits from what you "think" is the correct combination. If that fails, depending on what is inside, you can either try all 10,000 combinations OR attack it physically. If it is empty, I would just throw it out!

I think there were reset instruction on the instruction sheet, like an original combo that will always work or something but write them and ask. http://wordlock.com/customer_service/

I've never had that problem with these buttons. Are you sure the problem isn't with your remote? There is no remote signal from these buttons so I don't think they would be the source of the problem.

Hit the num lock, that should correct the problem. Sorry I took so long to respond.

No but you can keep using the original buttons. I replaced 3 times already. No problem.

NO this box works only with scanner or key. Other three buttons have no use

I have had to push a button now and then on this unit. But a large majority of the time it works with out buttons.

If you experiment with the 2 white buttons you can toggle between C and F. Be careful with the buttons, my on-off button got jammed as I was experimenting!

I had some trouble with this too. U have to pull out as u clicks on the 2 buttons on the side. Hope this helps!

Press (with tip of tee or other point) "RESET" on the back. Then I have to experiment with the buttons because I only change the time twice a year. I think the "other" answer steps work also.

Thank you both, excellent suggestions. Part of my trouble was operator error, it's working we'll now!

I've had a couple of sets of these for going on for years now and I don't have any sign of where so to speak. I also picked A code that uses for different buttons. That could be a factor.

In theory, up to 30. We had 4. One of our buttons seemed to not always work, so we stopped using it. I believe it was an issue with the button, not a limitation of the receiver.

It sounds like you may have a bad unit. These buttons act like old radio buttons, push one in and the others pop out. Only one button can be pressed in at a time.

Try clicking any numbers to remove the code or zero-out the code that you entered. Then try again. I found the latch difficult at first try, but fine afterwards.
