AMSEC FAQ

Below are some quick answers to our most frequently asked questions.

Have you lost your combo?

For Residential Customers:

For security reasons, we can not release a combo to an unknown individual. However, you may contact a locksmith that is registered with AMSEC to verify ownership. To find an AMSEC dealer in your area, please use the Find A Dealer search in the header above.

For Commercial Customers:

Contact your company help desk or loss prevention department, who will in turn contact AMSEC. Once we receive authorization from your help desk or loss prevention department, we will contact you directly.

My ESL Electronic Lock is not responding. What do I do?

If your ESL keypad does not respond when any key is pressed, the batteries may need to be changed.

ESL Battery change instructions:
