Fire Fyter safes come with rotary combination dials or digital keypads. Each comes with a factory combination to open it. To have a combination that is easy for you to remember, you may want to change the combination on your safe. Doing so is easy on both types of Fire Fyter safes, as long as you take your time when entering the new numbers. Make sure to record your new combination in a safe place for easy reference in case you forget it.
