Dennis, if you use 4 digits there are 10,000 possible combinations.


Nowhere near that number as you can only use each key once, so a
combination of 1234 is valid but 4433 cannot be used. Some lockboxes
are also not fussed about the order in which they keys are pressed,
so if the combination set is 1234 any sequence of the correct
numbers (eg 2314) will open the box. (I don't know if the GE one
does this).


I do, and you would think they would make sure their "approved"
fitters also knew what they were fitting.
Just another reason not to use a handyman to do work, it would be
better to get in a trades person that has rudimentary training or can
read.


Do stop being a **** Dennis. You don't know at all, talking bollox as
usual. In the above example 4433 could be used and 2314 would not open a
box set to 1234.
