I have a Buffalo River safe bought as E-B Cat in 2005. Has both digital pin pad and key. One button on the Pin Pad has become very intermittent/unreliable- can take 10 attempts to get a response and sometimes it records two presses with one attempt.
Rather than attempt to pull it apart and clean the contacts I figure I could just change the code so not to include that number. But I've long lost the documentation.
Anyone know how to change the Pin?

INSTALLATION below)
To open an electronic lock the first time, press the following numbers/symbols on the electronic keypad
in this order: 1, 5, 9, #.
(These numbers are preset. You should change the entry code as soon as possible after opening the
safe to insure proper security.)
After you have entered the factory code, you will need to turn the handle clockwise to open the door.
You will have 5 seconds to turn the handle before the locking mechanism is reactivated.
ENTERING YOUR SECURITY CODE
To enter your own personal security code, follow the steps listed below.
1. After opening the electronic safe door (with the preset factory code of 1, 5, 9, #), locate the small
red button on the inside of the door near the hinge.
2. Press the red button and then release it. You will hear a beep. The yellow light on the faceplate
will be activated and will stay on for a period of time that should allow you to enter your code. You
can only enter your code while the yellow light is on. With the door open and the yellow light on,
enter your own personal security code, which can be 3-8 digits long, and confirm your new code
by pressing the “*” symbol on the electronic touch pad. Before you close the door, try the new
security code to make sure the lock releases the handle so you can turn it and retract the live
action bolts.
DO NOT SHUT THE DOOR UNTIL YOU HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE NEW SECURITY
CODE HAS BEEN ENTERED CORRECTLY.
If the code fails, follow steps 1 and 2 again. If the code works successfully, record your combination
number on the front of this form or somewhere in your records, then you should lock the safe. When you
open the safe in the future, enter the security code you have set followed by the “#” symbol. If the
incorrect security code is entered 3 times, you will have an automatic lockout for 20 seconds before you
open the safe in the future, enter the security code you have set followed by the “#” symbol. If the
incorrect security code is entered 3 times, you will have an automatic lockout for 20 seconds before you
can try your code again. If the incorrect security code is entered 3 additional times, there will be a 5-
minute lockout before the code can be retried.
ATTENTION!
WHEN REPLACING
BATTERY, DO NOT PULL
HARD ON KEY PAD, AS THIS
WILL CAUSE THE KEY PAD
CABLE TO UNPLUG FROM
CIRCUIT BOARD
TURNING THE KEYPAD SOUND OFF/ON
To turn the “Beep” sound off, enter code *633 on the keypad.
To turn the “Beep” sound on, enter the code *66 on the keypad.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Note: When changing the battery, always hold the battery connecting cap while disconnecting or
attaching the battery. Do not pull on the wires. Doing this could cause the power supply to become
disconnected from the lock.
This lock requires one 9V alkaline battery. Under normal use, batteries will last about 1 year. When
the battery is low and you press a button on the keypad, a red light will come on warning you that the
battery is low.
To test the battery, enter your security code. If the batteries are low the red light will come on
momentarily. To replace the battery, remove the cover by pressing the tab and turning the cover as
shown in the illustration below. Replace the old batter and screw the cover back in place.
TROUBLE KEY/OVERRIDE KEY
A “Trouble Key or Override Key” has been included in the event that you have
forgotten or lost your security code. Please record the number of your key in a safe
location in the event the key needs to be replaced in the future. To open the safe
using the trouble key, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the cover by turning the cover as shown in the illustration. The lock
can hang by the connecting cable while unlocking the safe.
2. Insert the key in the key hole and turn clockwise 1/4 turn (until stopped) in order to unlock the
safe.
3. Keep the door open until you have entered a new security code. Before entering your new
security code remove the key and screw the cover back in place.
4. Enter your new security code.
