B r o w n i n g P r o s t e e l s a f e .  
A Browning ProSteel safe is the finest home security safe available. With  
proper care and installation it will provide you many years of peace of  
mind, security and fire protection (fire-resistant models only).  
i n s P e C t i n g y o u r s a f e  
Upon receipt of your safe, you should immediately inspect it for any  
damage that may have occurred during shipping. If your safe was  
commercially delivered and you detect any damage, call the shipping  
company that delivered your safe and report the damage.  
Your Browning ProSteel safe is a security safe designed to protect your  
valuable personal property from theft by increasing the time it takes for  
a thief to access your valuables. Most successful burglaries occur within  
minutes of a criminal entering a home or business. A security safe slows  
down a criminal and makes it more difficult to access your valuables  
quickly. Your Browning ProSteel safe is the most cost-effective deterrent  
to theft available on the market today. DO NOT HOWEvER, ASSUME  
THAT ANY SAFE IS IMPENETRABLE — IT IS NOT! A  
IMPORTANT: Any damage, concealed or otherwise, not noted on the  
delivery receipt must be reported to the shipping company within 15  
days of delivery.  
Your safe comes bolted to its shipping pallet. You will need to remove  
the black plastic covers in the safe floor to access the bolts. Use a ½"  
socket wrench to remove the bolts.  
KNOWLEDGEABLE THIEF CAN GET INTO ANY SAFE IF GIvEN  
THE APPROPRIATE TOOLS AND ENOUGH TIME. Your safe is a  
deterrent and a delaying device. You can make it even more effective by  
placing it in the right location and anchoring it to the floor and wall.  
The safe door is heavy. do noT open The safe while locaTed on  
an uneven or unsTable floor or on plush carpeT. The weighT of  
The open door could cause The safe To Tip forward. see  
insTrucTions on page 8 for “anchoring your safe.” failure To  
follow This warning could resulT in serious injury or deaTh.  
Browning ProSteel fire safes offer similar protection against fire. They  
are fire-resistant, not fireproof. DO NOT ASSUME A FIRE-RESISTANT  
SAFE WILL WITHSTAND ANY AND ALL FIRES — IT WILL NOT.  
Browning ProSteel fire-resistant safes are evaluated in a controlled  
test environment to assure that the safe’s interior temperature does  
not exceed 350° F for the amount of time and temperature exposure  
as stated on the door label placed on each safe. Different models of  
Browning ProSteel safes have different fire ratings, and a longer time  
rating indicates more fire resistance compared to a safe with a shorter  
rating. You can improve your fire-resistant safe’s ability to protect your  
valuables from fire by placing it in an appropriate location in your  
home. Follow the instructions under “Placement of Your Safe” on  
page 4. A safe is just one part of protecting your valuables. Adequate  
homeowner’s insurance coverage should also be maintained.  
u l t o o l at ta C k l i s t i n g  
Browning ProSteel safes carry the UL tool attack label certifying  
the design and construction have been tested by Underwriters  
Laboratories® and passed the Residential Security Container  
test specifications.  
f i r e P r o t e C t i o n r at i n g  
Browning ProSteel fire safes carry a fire rating to help you compare the  
different levels of fire resistance offered. To develop the fire ratings,  
safes are subjected to a rigorous fire test. Sample safes are placed in a  
gas furnace and heated for the amount of time stated to the peak  
temperature in the rating. Temperatures are monitored in several  
locations throughout the safe. In order to pass the test, the safe interior  
temperature must not exceed 350° F in any sensor location.

Special fire considerations: Browning ProSteel fire-resistant safes are  
rated to withstand the time and temperature stated on the rating label.  
However, when a home burns some portions of that fire may burn at  
more than 2000° F. Placement of your safe away from potential hot  
spots of the fire will improve the chances of your safe and contents  
surviving a home fire. WHILE THERE IS NO GUARANTEE  
TEMPERATURES ANYWHERE WILL REMAIN BELOW A SPECIFIC  
TEMPERATURE, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU AvOID  
PLACING YOUR SAFE IN, ABOvE OR BELOW THESE AREAS:  
wat e r a n d f i r e d a m a g e  
Should your safe be exposed to fire or water, the fire-resistant  
properties of the insulation will be compromised. Do not continue  
to store valuable items in such a safe. Check with your insurance  
agent to determine if your policy will replace the safe, in addition  
to other household items.  
r u s t d a n g e r t o g u n s  
If your safe is in a fire, remove your guns as soon as possible  
KITCHEN — Most home fires begin in the kitchen area because  
of open flames from cooking and flammable materials like grease,  
cooking oils, wood cabinets, etc.  
to clean and lubricate them.  
s a f e s e r i a l n u m B e r  
Your safe’s serial number is located on a label in the upper right-hand  
corner of the rear exterior of the safe. Do not remove it. You will need  
the serial number should warranty concerns arise. Since the safe will  
probably be placed against a wall, you should record the serial number  
on the first page of this owner’s manual, or in another secure location,  
prior to installation. Do not lock the recorded serial number inside  
the safe. You will need this serial number in case you lose your  
combination or if the safe fails to open.  
GARAGE — Keep your safe as far away from the garage as  
possible. Flammable liquids, automobiles and small engines can  
start fires and flammable liquids and other chemicals stored in the  
garage can fuel the fire.  
FURNACE OR WATER HEATER — Open flames in these areas  
may cause fires to start, and gas lines provide additional fuel.  
STORAGE AREAS FOR FUEL SOURCES — Avoid areas with  
firewood, black powder, smokeless powder, gasoline, propane,  
paint and thinners or any other flammable material.  
P l a C e m e n t o f y o u r s a f e  
For maximum protection against theft, fire and weather exposure,  
placement of your safe within your home is crucial. Place your safe  
where it is not visible from windows or normal traffic areas. The best  
way to protect your valuables is to keep them from being targeted in  
the first place.  
UPPER FLOORS OF THE HOME — Heat rises and the upper  
floors burn the hottest. The safe may fall through the floor if the  
fire damages the joist structure. A fall from the upper floor may  
damage the safe and break the fire seal around the door.  
BASEMENT CENTER — In a catastrophic home fire, burning  
timbers, etc. from upper floors will cave in toward the center of  
the basement floor and burn at an extremely high temperature.  
Placing your safe away from exterior doors and windows also makes  
it more difficult and more time consuming for thieves to get your  
valuables out of your home. Time is the crucial element. Thieves want  
to get in and out of your home quickly. A time-consuming job is a  
strong deterrent. The best location for your safe is in a basement, away  
from windows, behind a locked door.  
The best positioning for fire protection is in your basement, against an  
outside wall, away from areas where a fire is likely to start or burn  
exceptionally hot.

To align your safe and mounting holes with the studs, place a piece  
of masking tape across the top-rear edge of your safe. Measure and  
mark the center of your safe on the tape.  
Reposition the safe on your centerline marks against the wall and  
mark the hole centers on the wall of the house.  
Use a 5/16" wood bit to drill the pilot holes through the sheet rock  
and stud. Next install 3/8" x 3½" lag bolts through a 1¾" diameter  
steel washer through the safe body and into the stud. Tighten all  
anchor bolts.

Find the centers of the studs and mark them on the wall where  
they can be seen above the safe. Find the midpoint between the  
stud centers and mark it as well. The centerline of the safe and the  
centerline of the studs should align with the safe in place.

Turn your safe handle clockwise to open the safe door.  
You should immediately change the combination of the electronic  
lock from the factory default code. The lock instructions outline the  
process to program a new electronic lock combination.  
IMPORTANT: If you miss any combination number by more than 1  
dial mark your safe will not open. Make sure you are looking straight  
down at the index marks. Make sure to align the numbers with the  
center index line located at the 12 o’clock position. If the safe does  
not open, try turning the safe handle firmly counterclockwise before  
re-dialing the combination.  
IMPORTANT: Record the combination you select, as the factory will  
not have any record of the combination you choose. If you forget the  
combination on your electronic lock there is no easy way to open the  
safe, so please record the new combination in one or more secure  
locations outside the safe.

your combination, we will not release combinations without a security  
check. We do not maintain any ownership information on gun safes,  
and combinations are tracked only by serial number. If you lose your  
combination, we will only release it upon completion of a security  
check process that requires your safe’s serial number and several other  
steps. Your safe’s serial number is located on the upper right-hand  
corner of the rear of the safe. There is a place to record this serial  
number on the first page of this owner’s manual.  
IMPORTANT: You must first close the door and then turn your safe  
handle counterclockwise to extend the bolts before turning the dial to  
properly lock the door in place. If the dial is turned while the door is  
open and the bolts are extended (handle turned clockwise) the door  
will be “locked open.This is easily fixed by following the unlocking  
procedure previously mentioned, immediately followed by the locking  
procedure listed above.

your safe, always keep your safe in a locked condiTion, even if  
your valuables are noT inside. failure To do so could resulT in  
serious injury or deaTh.  
Your combination lock should not require any maintenance.  
Do not spray or apply any lubrication to any lock parts. If your  
dial is difficult to turn, there is a problem with the lock mechanism.  
Lubrication will not solve the problem. Contact our warranty service  
number for assistance (page 22).

If your safe is equipped with a factory installed electronic lock,  
instructions for the lock are inside the safe. No maintenance is  
required for the electronic lock, other than changing the battery  
by following the directions in the lock instructions.  
Should your keylock stick or be difficult to turn, you can put a small  
drop of light oil on the key before inserting it into the keyway.

The keylock in your combination dial is used to lock the dial only. This  
is a convenience feature that allows you to lock your dial so that it will  
not accidentally rotate and lock while you are moving items into or out  
of your safe. The keylock also allows you to lock the dial while the safe  
is in the locked position. This prevents the dial from being turned  
while the safe is locked.  
IMPORTANT: The textured-finished safe paints are special formulas  
created by the manufacturer for Browning ProSteel safes and cannot  
be duplicated by an automotive paint store. These can be ordered by  
calling our consumer department at (800) 333-3288.

To lock your dial with the key, turn the dial until the “0” is resting in  
the 12 o’clock position, where the black line is located on the top of  
your dial ring and turn the key clockwise in the key lock.  
Browning ProSteel safes are shipped with molded door corner  
protectors installed between the door corner and the door frame.  
After removing the packaging from your safe, make sure to remove  
the protective corners and adjust the two door tension adjustment  
screws located inside of the door frame. The tension adjustment  
screws apply pressure against the locking bolts when the door is in  
the closed position. The tension adjustment screws should be adjusted  
until the door closes without play between the door and frame. Do  
not over-adjust the tension screws or your safe will not close. The  
locking bolts will hit the adjustment screws. A #3 Phillips screwdriver  
is required to adjust the tension screws.  
Should you lose your keys, replacement keys may be ordered with  
the serial number printed on the upper right-hand corner of the  
combination tag. Contact the Browning Consumer Department  
(page 22) to order additional keys. (Approximately $8 per key as  
of this owner’s manual printing.)

Painted exteriors should be cleaned with a damp soft cotton cloth only.  
Do not use solvents or any other chemicals to clean your safe’s painted  
surfaces. If you should scratch or chip the paint on your safe, a touch  
up bottle with brush is included inside your safe (not all models).  
This bottle should be adequate for most scratches incurred during  
installation. Touch up paint is also available by contacting Browning.  
However, due to increased regulations restricting the sending of paint  
through the mail, Browning has also provided the Delstar® paint  
numbers for the paint colors available on our standard safes.

The black plastic strip attached to the edge of your safe door or frame  
is a fire seal that expands to seal the door when heated by a fire. If you  
live in an area with high humidity, you will not want your door to  
close tightly against this seal. Air must circulate through your safe or  
condensation will form on your firearms causing rust. Loosen the  
door just enough to allow some exchange of air. An electric  
dehumidifier is highly recommended if your average daily relative  
humidity is above 20 percent.

simply relocating the clips to the desired shelf location. To replace a  
clip, insert the top lip of the clip into the appropriate slot in the track,  
squeeze the clip together and insert the bottom lip of the clip into the

located at the same height to ensure that the shelf sits level.

Your door height is adjusted at the  
factory and should not require any  
adjustment when new. However,  
hinge adjustment bolts are located  
on the bottom of each hinge to  
allow you to make adjustments over  
time (Figure 5). This allows you to  
raise and lower the door slightly as  
needed. Rotating the Allen bolt  
counterclockwise (looking down at  
the hinge) raises the door on its  
hinges. Both Allen bolts (top and  
bottom hinges) should be turned  
the same amount when adjusting  
the door. (Not applicable on

Prior to replacing a bulb, turn the light switch off and  
unplug the light. Allow the bulb to cool before replacing.  
The key to removing stains from your carpeted interior is to clean  
them as soon as they occur. Do not soak the carpeting with water to  
remove stains. Small amounts of water can permanently damage the  
fire-resistant materials within your safe if the water is allowed to soak  
into the carpeted areas. Use any household carpet spot remover to  
clean up stains. Follow the directions on the product itself.

All Browning ProSteel safe paint finishes are designed for indoor  
use only. Use a damp rag to wipe down the surface of the safe. If  
something other than water is needed, a very mild soap solution may  
be used. However, only water should be used around the detailing  
areas. Care should be taken around the art scene, pinstripe, corners or  
logo to avoid catching and peeling any edges with the cleaning cloth.  
Some chemicals or abrasive cleaners can damage gold, brass or  
chrome handle finishes. The spokes, handle and hub on your safe  
should be cleaned only with a soft, damp cloth. No abrasives or  
chemicals of any kind should be used.

The tolerances between your locking bolts and the safe body and door  
are very tight. Because they fit so tightly, it may be necessary from  
time to time to place a small amount of Teflon® lubricant on the  
bottom of each bolt with the bolts in the extended position.  
If your safe was manufactured with our exclusive art scene transfer  
process you must take particular care not to clean your safe with any  
ammonia-based cleaners. Glass cleaners like Windex® can permanently  
damage the art scene and other portions of the safe detailing package.  
Do not attach anything to the body or detailing materials with tape.  
Tape may remove the art scene, paint and other portions of the  
detailing package.

If your safe is equipped with an interior mirror on the back panel,  
use only rubbing alcohol or distilled water and a soft cloth to clean  
the mirror.
