— Veteran safe hobbyist & survivor of three Intellok failures If your safe is currently locked shut with a dead Intellok keypad and no override, do not drill near the keypad. The lock body is usually behind the door’s internal plate, 2-3 inches from the edge. Drill a 1/4” hole at the 7 o’clock position relative to the keypad center to access the solenoid release. But seriously – call a locksmith first.
My advice? Intellok keypads were never designed for 15+ years of service. Bite the bullet, buy a quality retrofit electronic lock from SecuRam or LaGard, and you’ll get another decade of reliable service. intellok safe keypad replacement

The door never opens again.
