Frequently Asked Questions about Technomax Safes (FAQ)

1. Can the Technomax GT series safe be opened if the batteries are completely discharged?
Yes, this is provided by the design. On the outer panel of the Tronic (GT) series safes there are special contacts for external power supply. You just need to attach a new Krona battery to the contacts, enter your code and open the safe, then replace the batteries inside.

2. How are the Gold (GMK, GMT) series safes better than ordinary furniture safes?
The main difference is in the thickness of the front panel (10 mm steel) and the use of laser cutting. This provides a minimum gap between the door and the body, which makes it impossible to break with a lever (crowbar). In addition, these series are certified for burglary resistance according to the European standard EN 14450.

3. At what stage should you install a Technomax GF/4K in-floor safe?
The installation of GF series models is best planned at the stage of pouring the subfloor or during major repairs. It is important to take into account the thickness of the ceiling: the depth of the safe is about 210-320 mm. After installation and alignment, the safe lid is flush with the floor, which allows you to hide it under any covering.

4. What should I do if I forgot the code to the Technomax DPE safe?
The DPE series is equipped with an emergency master key. Even if the code is forgotten or the electronics fail, you can open the safe with a mechanical key. We recommend that you store this key in a safe place outside the safe.

5. Do Technomax safes provide fire protection?
To protect documents from fire, you should choose the DPE series. These models have double walls with fire-resistant insulation material and a special seal around the perimeter of the door, which expands when heated, blocking the ingress of heat and smoke inside.

6. What are the advantages of an electronic combination lock compared to a mechanical or key lock?
An electronic lock is a modern standard of comfort and security, chosen by more than 70% of our customers. Its main advantages:
Speed ​​of access: Opening the safe takes only 3-5 seconds. You don’t need to turn the handle or look for the key in your bag - just enter the code. This is critical in cases where access to valuables or weapons is needed instantly.
Flexibility of management: You can easily change the code even every day. This is an ideal solution if you have entrusted access to a third party (for example, staff or relatives) for a certain period of time, and then want to cancel it without replacing the lock or keys.
Locking function: Most Technomax locks automatically lock for a few minutes after three incorrect code attempts. This makes the “picking” method virtually impossible.
Elimination of the risk of losing or stealing a key: A key is an object that can be accidentally dropped from a pocket, forgotten in a lock, or from which a mold can be taken. The electronic code exists only in your memory. This eliminates the need to look for a reliable storage place for a physical key and worry about its safety.
Convenience in the dark: Unlike a mechanical lever, where you need to see each division, electronic buttons often have tactile feedback or backlighting, which allows you to open the safe even in low light.
Who is suitable for: Those who use the safe daily or several times a week, value their time, and want to have a modern level of protection without the hassle of iron keys.

7. Who is a mechanical combination lock suitable for?
For long-term storage (“Set it and forget it”): If you plan to open the safe once a month or less (for example, to store gold bars, real estate documents or “untouchable stock”), mechanics are the ideal option. You know for sure that the lock will work, even if you remember about it years later.
For country houses and unheated premises: Electronics are sensitive to temperature changes and condensation. A mechanical lock is much better able to withstand operation in conditions where there is no stable climate control.
For conservative users: People who do not trust gadgets and prefer solutions proven over decades.
For those looking for “dual authorization”: As in the case of the Technomax GMD series, where a mechanical code and a key are combined. This creates two independent barriers, which significantly increases overall security.
Cons (for objectivity):
Opening time: It takes 15-30 seconds to dial a code on a limb, while on an electronic one - 3 seconds.
Difficulty of dialing: You need a certain skill and good eyesight (or glasses) to accurately set the divisions on the disk.
Tip: If you open the safe several times a day - choose an electronic one. If you are looking for the most reliable option for "capital" storage of valuables - a mechanical code has no equal.
