How to open supra key box without code

Unresponsive iBox, iBox BT, or iBox BT LE

There are three possible reasons the keybox does not respond when attempting to obtain the key or release the shackle. 

• The shackle or key container is jammed 
  
• There is poor communication between the keybox and your key
• The keybox has failed


Jammed shackle

1. Grasp the keybox in one hand and the shackle in the other.
2. Move the shackle from side to side and up and down to see if you can loosen it, then try to release the shackle again.
3. Push down on the shackle and up on the bottom of the keybox, as if you were trying to close the shackle, and, while keeping the pressure on, try to release the shackle again.
4. If you cannot release the shackle, contact your Association/MLS for further instructions.




Jammed key container

1. Grasp the keybox with one hand the reach under the keybox and try to wiggle the key container to loosen it, then try to obtain the key again.
2. If it appears that a house key is jammed between the keybox and the key container, AND the keybox is yours, try sliding a thin strong object such as a metal fingernail file up between the inside of the keybox and the key container, to dislodge it. 
3. If you are unable to loosen the key container, AND the keybox is yours, remove the keybox from the listing and contact your Association/MLS for further instructions.
Note: If the keybox is NOT yours please contact the listing agent and let them know there is a problem with the keybox. Please do not attempt anything that could cause damage to someone else's keybox.

Poor communication

1. Polish the infrared lens on your key and on the front of the iBox with a dry cloth.
2. Try to shade both the infrared lens on the key and the infrared lens on the iBox from any light. Infrared communications works better in less light.
3. Hold your key 4 to 8 inches from the front of the iBox and point your key directly at the infrared lens on the iBox, just like a TV remote.

Failed iBox Programming

1. If you were able to open an iBox right before this one and can open others after this one, or if other agents can't open this iBox, the iBox programming may have failed.
2. If this is the case, the keybox owner or listing agent may call the Association/MLS for further instructions.

What You Need

There are items that you need to prepare first before you can open a lockbox if you forgot the code. You can check if you have them in your toolbox. If not, you can borrow from your neighbor or purchase at the store near you. These items are easy to find so you don’t have to worry.

Lock pick

You can purchase a lockpicking set for around $30. The pick lock tools that are included can be used in different situations since their designs and sizes differ. However, it is advisable if you will start with a beginner’s set that only has five different types of pick lock since it is more budget-friendly and practical.

If you don’t want to purchase a lockpicking set, you can use a thin metal that can fit the gap in the lock as an alternative. Make sure that the thin metal is malleable yet sturdy enough so that it would not break and get stuck inside the lock.

You can also use a metal paperclip if you have one. Just straighten it using a pair of pliers so that you can turn it into a pick lock. Strip the plastic cover if it has any. The paper clip must be durable so that it can stand the pressure you need to exert as you pick the lock.

A pair of gloves (optional)

Since you will be working with a small tool, you may want to use a pair of gloves, especially if you have wet and slippery hands.

You can wear anti-slip gloves that are designed to provide you with a good grip while working with slippery and small objects. Also, they will protect your hands from having blisters that can be caused by prolonged gripping.

Gloves that have anti-slip features are made of vinyl, cotton, nylon, synthetic leather, and mixed fabric. You can choose from gloves that come with an anti-slip pad or those that have a separate anti-slip pad that you will attach to the glove if you need to. Most of the anti-slip gloves are heavy-duty so they don’t easily wear and tear.

Before you purchase this kind of gloves, make sure that they fit your hands perfectly so that it would be easier for you to move. As much as possible, the gloves must not be bulky and they must have an additional layer to provide warmth in your hands. If you don’t have anti-slip gloves, you can also use a pair of latex or cotton gloves.

Pen and paper

Since getting the right code is a trial and error process, you may need a pen and paper to help you jot down the numbers. This will help you prevent repeating the process over and over again.

For the pen, you can use a ballpoint pen. It can have a brass, steel, or tungsten carbide finishing. It measures between 0.7 to 1.2 millimeters, and it is popular to many since the oil-based ink quickly dries after its contact with a paper. Aside from that, this type of pen is affordable and lasts for a long time.

If you want smooth writing, you can also use a rollerball pen. Compared to a ballpoint pen, it has water-based ink. Its ink is less thick and it glides easily while writing on the paper.

Instead of using a piece of paper, you can use a notepad. The advantage of using a notepad is that it has a spring that prevents the papers from scattering. It is also small enough to put in your pouch. This will prevent you from losing or forgetting the code of your lockbox.

Eyeglasses (optional)

This item is needed only if the numbers are too small or you have poor eyesight. If you already have one, use it while doing the tutorial. But if you don’t, the eyeglasses you will choose should depend on what you need.

You can use single vision lenses if you only want to have consistent focal power. If you have a condition like myopia or near-sightedness, concave lenses would work. If you have hyperopia or far-sightedness, use plus or convex lenses. For cases like astigmatism, cylindrical lenses would be useful.

Step 1: Insert the pick to the gap located at the first number

Insert the pick inside the gap located at the first number. Make sure that you do not apply too much force while putting the pick inside, especially if you are only using a thin metal or a paper clip, to prevent the pick from breaking inside the lock. The pick will stay in the same position for the whole process so it must be properly inserted.

Step 2: Look for the loose spot in the wheel

Once the pick lock is already secured in place, start to look for the loose spot by spinning the wheel. Continue to turn the wheel until you feel that there is little or no resistance at all. The digit where there is no resistance is the right number of your lockbox code. Stop at this number and proceed to the next digits.

Step 3: Repeat the process for the remaining numbers until you open the lock

Let the pick stay in the same position as you repeat the process. Continue to spin the wheel until you find the numbers where there is low or no resistance. After that, you can now pull open the master lock key box.

In case that the lockbox did not unlock, repeat the process all over again. It means that you have missed the right numbers. Once you successfully open the lockbox, don’t forget to jot down the code in your notepad as a reference for the future. Also, keep it in a secure place.
