AMSEC ESL20 Electronic Backlit Digital Lock (Retro-Fit Kit)

***All locks must be installed by a certified locksmith or warranty may be void.***
Take your safe security to the next level with the AMSEC ESL20 Backlit Electronic Lock, the advanced, multi-user version of AMSEC's trusted ESL series. With a bright illuminated keypad and expanded user management, the ESL20 combines ease of use with professional-grade protection.

Designed to replace most mechanical combination locks, the ESL20 installs easily and provides fast, reliable access control for up to nine users (One Master and eight individual Users). The UL Listed Type 1 certification ensures the highest standard of electronic security, while the patented dead-latched design with an internal relock device delivers maximum resistance to tampering. The lock automatically secures itself when the boltwork is thrown, eliminating the risk of leaving your safe unlocked.

Everyday operations are intuitive and efficient. The illuminated keypad offers excellent visibility in low light, and each keystroke provides both an audible beep and a visual flash for confirmation. Combination changes are quick and simple right from the keypad, and the electronics are fully encapsulated to prevent moisture damage. Dual 9V-DC batteries are housed conveniently in the keypad and can be replaced in seconds.

The ESL20 also includes powerful programmable options, Time Delay Mode (1-99 minutes) and Open Window Period (1-9 minutes) for added control, Dual Control Mode requiring two combinations to open, and an Armored Car Override for commercial cash-handling applications.

Features:

  • Replaces most mechanical combination locks. Easy installation and operation.
  • UL Listed Type 1 digital electronic lock
  • 9 user lock. 1 Master user and 8 users.
  • Bright illuminated keypad improves visibility in dim conditions and makes everyday operation more convenient. 
  • Combination changes are fast and easy from the keypad.
  • Two 9V-DC batteries in the keypad housing can be changed easily.
  • Electronics are encapsulated within the lock and are sealed to prevent possible moisture related failures.
  • Cable fits through a 1/2" spindle hole without cutting and re-crimping the connector.
  • An audible beep and a flash with every keystroke give maximum feedback to the user.
  • New industrial "Soft Touch" membrane keypad is tough yet requires very low activation pressure.
  • 15-minute Penalty Lockout after four incorrect entries protects against manipulation attempts.
  • New patented dead-latched lock design with an internal relock device for maximum security.
  • Locks "auto-locks" when boltwork is thrown to prevent safes from being left in a day-lock position.
  • An optional internal battery pack extends operation between battery changes.
  • Slam bolt version for locker applications.
  • Factory reset combination for solving lost combinations.

Additional Features:

  • Time Delay Mode: Delays can be set from 1 to 99 minutes. The open period can be set from 1 to 9 minutes.
  • Multiple User Mode: When enabled, one Master code and eight user codes are available with full supervisory control and code management.
  • Dual Control Mode: When enabled, the lock requires two combinations to open for added security.
  • Armored Car Override: When enabled, allows an armored car service to bypass Time Delay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is shipping really free?

Yes. Free delivery is included on every safe we sell, anywhere in the lower 48 states. The specific delivery method depends on the safe's weight: small package delivery for under 150 lbs, curbside, or garage delivery for heavier safes. See full shipping details →

How long will this take to arrive?

Shipping timelines vary by product. Check the availability status at the top of this page for the estimated ship date. Once shipped, transit time typically runs 5–10 business days, depending on your location. You'll receive tracking when the safe leaves the warehouse. Safes under 150 lbs ship via UPS or FedEx Ground, no appointment needed. Safes weighing 150 lbs or more ship via freight (LTL); the freight carrier will contact you directly to schedule a delivery appointment once the safe reaches your local terminal.

Can you deliver it inside my house and bolt it down?

We don't provide inside delivery directly, but we work with third-party installers across the country who do. Here's how it works: call us at 800-207-2259 for a recommendation in your area, and we'll provide the names and phone numbers of installers we've worked with. You contact the installer directly to arrange pricing for delivery and installation. Once you've agreed on a price, place your order with us using the installer's address as the shipping destination. The installer receives the safe, inspects it, and schedules your final delivery appointment. Some installers prefer to pick the safe up directly from the freight terminal. See inside delivery details →

Will this fit through my doorway?

Check the product's exterior dimensions (listed above) against your narrowest passage, interior doorways, stair landings, and tight turns. Most people remove the safe from the pallet before moving it indoors, so the safe's actual dimensions are what matter for doorways. Standard interior doorways (30–32" clear) accommodate most residential safes, but measure before ordering. Call us if you're uncertain. See where to locate your safe →


Can I change the combination myself?

Electronic locks: yes; it takes about 30 seconds. Instructions are included with your safe. Mechanical dial locks: no, changing a dial combination requires a licensed safe technician. Important: attempting to change a dial combination yourself (or having an unlicensed locksmith do it) voids the lock warranty. A licensed safe tech maintains the warranty. See lock operating instructions →


What if it arrives damaged?

Call us immediately — while you have 24 hours to report damage, calling right away gets the claim filed faster. Take photos of the damage and packaging before moving anything. For minor cosmetic damage, we typically send touch-up paint plus a partial refund. For significant damage, we send replacement parts or arrange a full replacement. Order Protection (optional at checkout) speeds refund payouts to 48–72 hours vs. 30–60 days through standard freight claims; replacement safes ship on the manufacturer's normal timeline regardless. See receiving your safe →

What's your return policy?

We offer a 30-day return policy on unused, in-original-condition products. The return freight for a heavy safe is substantial, so we strongly encourage you to call us before ordering if you're unsure about fit or configuration. See full return policy →

Can I place my order by phone?

Yes. Call us Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm Pacific at 800-207-2259. You have two options: we can take the full order by phone (we pause the call recording before you read your card number, so payment info is never stored), or we can build your order and email you a payable invoice link so you can enter your own payment details securely.
