Product Description
Upgrading from an old mechanical combination dial on your AMSEC safe? The AMSEC ESL5 in Black Nickel is a direct-replacement electronic keypad lock that fits most AMSEC safe models — BF, BFX, CSC, and more. UL Listed Type 1 with a backlit keypad for low-light installations. The spring bolt mechanism provides reliable operation, and the stealth mode lets you silence the keypad beeps when discretion matters. A 15-minute penalty lockout kicks in after four wrong entries to prevent brute-force attempts.

💡 Pro-Tip from Our Safe Experts
The ESL5 is AMSEC's most popular electronic safe lock upgrade. If you're replacing an old mechanical dial on a BF or BFX series safe, this is a direct drop-in — same footprint, same bolt pattern. The backlit keypad makes it easy to see in low-light closets or basements where most home safes end up.
