<p>As the new owner of an abandoned Redbox kiosk, you've got a motorized, multi-hundred-pound steel box waiting to become a security risk in front of you. There are multiple things worth tweaking in your unit before you leave it to sit powered on for an extended period of time.</p> <p>As the new owner of an abandoned Redbox kiosk, you've got a motorized, multi-hundred-pound steel box waiting to become a security risk in front of you.

<p>First of all, <strong>do NOT power the unit on. </strong>To open the kiosk, you need to access the lock from the inside. To do this, you must remove the back cover. Indoor units use S02 Robertson (square) bits, and the outdoor units use H4 Security Hex, or T25 Security Torx bits. These screws line the outer edge of the back plate, and once removed, will allow the panel to be lifted off.</p> <p>First of all, <strong>do NOT power the unit on.

<p>Once you have access to the unit, you need to remove as many discs as you can from deck 4 (the fourth platform from the top of the carousel) in order to reach through to the lock. During this process, make sure to remove disks that are likely jamming the carousel, ensuring that it can spin freely before powering the unit on, as it can easily cause problems if the carousel is stuck.</p> <p>Once you have access to the unit, you need to remove as many discs as you can from deck 4 (the fourth platform from the top of the carousel) in order to reach through to the lock.

<p>Once you have deck 4 cleared, it is recommended to use a flashlight set on the top of the carousel pointing down, or on deck 5, pointing at the lock. Once you can see the lock, look at the barrel on the front of the unit, and determine whether the arrow is pointing up, or down. If the arrow is pointing up, you need to depress the indent on the top of the barrel. If it is pointing down, you need to do it on the bottom. Use a flathead screwdriver to reach through deck 4, and depress the small square on either the top or the bottom of the barrel, depending on the direction of the arrow.&nbsp;</p> <p>Once you have deck 4 cleared, it is recommended to use a flashlight set on the top of the carousel pointing down, or on deck 5, pointing at the lock.

<p>Doing this successfully will be audibly indicated, and the lock cylinder and handle should be extended from the housing. To open the door, turn the handle counter-clockwise until the door is fully unscrewed, which can then swing open.</p> <p>Doing this successfully will be audibly indicated, and the lock cylinder and handle should be extended from the housing.
