Frequently asked questions
Common questions about NU-SET from 3G Electric.
What is the key capacity of NU-SET padlock lockboxes?
NU-SET padlock lockboxes are available with different key capacities. The models listed include a 2-key version (SKU 796AN1), a 5-key version (SKU 35WC87), and a 6-key version (SKU 35WC88). Capacity is determined by the internal hooks or slots. When selecting a model, confirm the number of keys you need to store and the outside dimensions to ensure the box fits the intended location. The 2-key model measures 4-3/4 inches in height and width, while the 5-key and 6-key models measure 7-3/4 inches in height and 3 inches in width.
What materials are used in NU-SET lockboxes?
NU-SET lockboxes are made from either painted metal or painted zinc alloy. For example, SKU 796AN1 and SKU 880WK3 use painted metal in black. SKU 35WC88, SKU 35WC87, and SKU 35WC89 use painted zinc alloy in a black/gray finish. The material affects weight, corrosion resistance, and durability. Zinc alloy is often chosen for its casting properties and resistance to environmental exposure. All models have a painted finish to protect against rust and wear. The lock style is mechanical combination on all listed lockboxes.
How do I mount a NU-SET surface-mount lockbox?
NU-SET surface-mount lockboxes are designed to be attached directly to a wall, door, or panel. The mounting method depends on the surface and the specific model. Typically, these lockboxes have pre-drilled holes or brackets for screws or bolts. Because they are surface-mount, they do not hang from a padlock shackle like the padlock lockbox models. Before installation, verify the outside dimensions and the mounting hole pattern. SKU 880WK3 measures 4-5/8 inches in height and 4 inches in width, while SKU 35WC89 measures 4-3/4 inches in height and 3 inches in width. Ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the lockbox and keys.
What are the specifications of the NU-SET USB flash drive?
The NU-SET USB flash drive (SKU 48H963, MPN SUD-8GB) provides 8 GB of storage capacity. It uses a USB 2.0 interface and is available in red. The drive is intended for portable file transfer and backup in office or industrial environments. USB 2.0 offers data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps, which is sufficient for documents, small images, and basic backups. The drive does not require additional drivers on most operating systems. It is a separate product from the lockboxes and is typically purchased for data handling needs alongside physical key control.
Are NU-SET lockboxes weather-resistant?
NU-SET lockboxes are constructed from painted metal or painted zinc alloy, which provides some resistance to moisture and dust. However, the manufacturer does not specify an IP rating for these products. The mechanical combination lock and the seams between the door and body may allow water ingress under direct exposure. For outdoor use, it is advisable to mount the lockbox in a sheltered location or use an additional cover. The painted finish helps protect against corrosion, but regular inspection is recommended in harsh environments. If weather resistance is critical, consider a lockbox with a gasket or a higher IP rating.
