Tip! if the instructions do not work ask them to update their Firmware!

  1. Sentrikey app, click on Menu (3 horizontal bars top left of screen)
  2. My lockboxes
  3. Update Firmware

IMPORTANT: Before beginning this process, make sure to release the shackle from the lockbox.
Once you’ve completed the steps, you will place the lockbox on the property.

⚠️ Do not release the shackle until the lockbox is being removed due to a sale or cancellation of the listing.
Releasing the shackle removes any custom settings, so it should only be done when the lockbox is no longer needed on the property.

 

Scenario 1: Subscriber is Primary in Oregon and is placing the lockbox on a WA property. Continue with Customization below.

 

Scenario 2: Subscriber is Primary with Lincoln County Board of REALTORS - FLEX MLS.

  • They can use a LCBOR lockbox but will have to Customize the Region to show as RMLS -
    • User Profile
    • While in Lincoln County or RMLS region, go to the profile and toggle to the Primary area
    • If in LC toggle to LC
    • If in RMLS region toggle to the primary region
    • Continue with instructions below

 

How to Customize Region on lockbox

  • Customizing a Region on the SentriKey App:
    •  Tap the Menu button (three bars in top left – hand corner)
    • Go to My Lockboxes
    • Go to Assign/Unassign Property
      • Choose the lockbox you are assigning
    • Select the listing to which you are assigning the lockbox, select “Assign to Property”
    • Select Region: The next screen that will appear, it will allow you to customize the region
    • Open the key compartment with the SentriKey app, using a Bluetooth connection. Do not use codes, that will not push the customization through. This applies to the 3.6 model and the SentriGuard model
    • DO NOT release the shackle once this is completed! Once it is released the customization will be removed and will loose reciprocity!
