This guide explains how to generate a lockbox code to open the lockbox and a shackle code to remove the lockbox from your vehicle or property.

Part 1: Generate a Lockbox Code (To Open the Lockbox)

You can generate a lockbox code via the Drive mate app.

Steps:

Open the Drive mate app and log in.

  • Go to the Listings tab.

  • Swipe left on your lockbox-enabled vehicle.

  • Tap Manage Access.

  • Swipe the lockbox code slider to the right to generate a one-time access code.

Note: You can only generate a lockbox code when your vehicle is not on an active Drive mate trip. This protects the guest’s privacy.

Part 2: Generate a Shackle Code (To Remove the Lockbox)

The shackle code lets you attach/detach the lockbox from your property.

How to generate a shackle code:

  • Open the Drive mate app.

  • Go to Listings → swipe left on your vehicle → tap Manage Access.

  • Tap Generate Shackle Code.

How to enter the shackle code:

  • On the lockbox keypad, press:

  • ENT → FUNC → 1 → enter your shackle code → ENT

  • Press the shackle downward (or against a firm surface) until the whirring sound stops.

  • Remove the shackle.

  • If the code has expired, you can regenerate a new code in the app.
