Replacing Your Key

In order to claim the replacement, you will need to write them a letter including the key, model, and serial number for your safe, as well as contact information and your address.

Additional Help
If you have a Brinks/First Alert security safe in your home, contact the manufacturer for any issues with replacing the key or combination. A professional locksmith who is not licensed with Brinks or First Alert will not be able to replace a First Alert key for you. However, a locksmith will be able to break into a safe for you if you cannot get the key replaced. Breaking into a safe would void the warranty and destroy the safe, so you would have to buy a new safe for your items. Only do this in the most extreme cases.
For any general problems with home locks or lost keys, just use TalkLocal. All you have to do is enter your name, contact info, and a short description of your problem and TalkLocal will automatically connect you to a quality local company within minutes.
