Remove any debris
from the hole and insert
the lag shield so it is
flush with the surface.

Screw the
mounting bolt
directly into the
surface.

center of the bolt to screw
it into the hole.

hex portion is touching
the surface.

 The courier must be able to freely access your elephantrunk to make deliveries.
 Choose a protective location, such as on a porch or under an eave, and away from sprinklers.
 You can anchor your elephantrunk to a hardscaped or wooden surface. It will require drilling a hole into the surface, so make sure you
pick the right location.

Resetting the Keypad Code:

exposes the red programming button on
the back of the lock assembly without
taking the battery cover off. The lock must
be in the unlocked (vertical) position to
reveal the red programming button.
Rear View
of Lock Assembly
b
Using a small implement like a pencil, depress the
programming button. Within 60 seconds, enter a new
4-digit code using 0 through 9, then press #. Test your
new code by closing the lid (it does not need to be
locked but lid must be closed) and input your code
followed by the # key. If your code works, the keypad
will show the green light flash twice with two beeps. If
your code does not work, the keypad will display the
red light and have a long beep sound. If this occurs, try
to reset code again.
This mode unlocks the unit and deactivates the keypad. This is useful if you want to allow
full access to the unit all the time by anyone. To set the unit into Never Locked Mode:
1) Unlock the unit using the Master Keys.
2) Unscrew and remove the battery cover on the back of the lock assembly.
3) Locate the small blue switch and move it to the right of the unit as viewed from the rear.
4) Screw the battery cover back on, close the unit and remove the Master Key.

Daily Operation:
To unlock the your elephantrunk using the keypad, input your 4 digit code followed by the # key. This places it in
Normal Standby Mode described further below. Your elephantrunk can be used in three different modes....
If you are expecting a delivery, enter the keypad code
when leaving for the day. This will unlock the unit and tell it
to wait for a delivery. When the carrier opens the lid and
delivers the parcel, the unit senses this activity and will
automatically engage the lock so your delivery is safe until
you return home.
Alternatively, you can give your keypad code to carriers so
they can enter it and gain access to the unit. This is useful
if you are expecting more than one delivery during the day
and want to allow delivery of all of them, limited only by the
capacity of the storage compartment. You can give out the
code by entering it into the address line when you order
goods (e.g., “Parcel Box Code 1234”). Some carriers also
allow you to enter a “Gate Code” into your online profile
that can be stored and updated at any time. Check in your
online profile if you subscribe to these carriers’ services.
After delivery, you can retrieve your parcel(s) from the unit
by entering your keypad code or by using your Master Key.
You can also leave outgoing return-service parcels in the
unit for retrieval by the carrier.
This mode locks the units and deactivates the keypad. This is useful, for example, if you
are leaving for vacation and don’t want anyone to access the unit. To set the unit into
Always Locked Mode:
1) Unlock the unit using the Master Key.
2) Unscrew and remove the battery cover on the back of the lock assembly.
3) Locate the small blue switch and move it to the left of the unit as viewed from the rear.
4) Screw the battery cover back on, lock the unit and remove the Master Key.
