Liberty Safe has implemented consumer privacy protections regarding law enforcement compulsory requests for information, including safe combinations. These policies codify Liberty Safe’s position as an industry leader in protecting consumer privacy.
Liberty Safe will only release customer information to law enforcement agencies if all the following conditions are met:
- A warrant, subpoena, national security letter, court order or equivalent (“compulsory process”) must be provided that is specifically issued to Liberty Safe.
- For requests for access codes or combinations, the compulsory process must specifically require that Liberty Safe release the combination or access code for a safe identified by its serial number.
- If these first two conditions are met, the requested customer information must already exist within our system at the time of the request. If a customer has opted out of our retention of this information, we will be unable to comply with the compulsory process.
Liberty Safe has a process in place for customers to request the deletion of their code from our records. This process can be accessed at https://www.libertysafe.com/pages/combination-removal.
Except where prohibited by law, Liberty Safe will notify customers of any request from a government or law enforcement agency for customer information in advance of our providing it, giving our customer an opportunity to challenge the compulsory process.
In addition to these protections, if Liberty Safe determines that the compulsory process is deficient, Liberty Safe will object, challenge, or reject the request.
The details of the updated policies are available at https://www.libertysafe.com/pages/government-and-law-enforcement-customer-information-policy.

About Access Codes
Is there a “backdoor” code that will open all Liberty Safes?
No, Liberty Safe does not employ a “backdoor” universal master reset code for all safes. Each safe has its own custom master reset code, which is used if customers lose or forget the code they set. Customers have the option to delete this code from Liberty Safe’s records.
Is there an undocumented secret code that will open all Liberty Safes?
No, there is no secret code that will open all Liberty Safes. Each safe has a code selected by the customer, and a master reset code that is used in specific circumstances if a customer forgets or loses the code they set. This code may be deleted from Liberty Safe’s records by following this procedure https://www.libertysafe.com/pages/combination-removal.
Why do Liberty Safes have master reset codes?
Most safe manufacturers, including Liberty Safe, maintain a master reset code that is set at the factory and is separate from the customer selected code. This code exists so that we can assist customers in accessing their safe if they lose or forget the code they set. We provide customers with the ability to have us delete this code so it is no longer in our records, in which case we will be unable to supply it to a customer or to law enforcement in the event a legal, compulsory order is issued.
How does Liberty Safe store master reset codes?
Liberty Safe employs stringent security measures for code storage. Codes are encrypted and only accessible by select personnel, and all such accesses are tracked.
Is Liberty Safe the only safe manufacturer with master reset codes?
No, most, gun safe companies also store master reset codes, often following similar security protocols.
Will Liberty Safe give any law enforcement officer access to my safe?
No, Liberty Safe’s Customer Privacy Policy https://www.libertysafe.com/pages/government-and-law-enforcement-customer-information-policy, lists three conditions, all of which must be met, before a code is released, as well as the details of how customers can have any master reset code deleted from our records. If a customer chooses to delete their master reset code from our records, we cannot and will not provide any opening information.
How do I ensure Liberty Safe does not have my master reset code or give it to law enforcement?
The procedure for having Liberty Safe delete a master reset code from our records is here https://www.libertysafe.com/pages/combination-removal
I heard in the media that Liberty Safe will help law enforcement open any safe if they ask. Is that true?
No, it is not true. Liberty Safe will only provide a master reset code to law enforcement when three conditions are all met, and only if the customer has not asked that the code be deleted from our records. In addition, Liberty Safe will attempt to notify the customer in advance of assisting law enforcement, unless we are prevented from doing so by law. To see the full policy, click here.
