S3 Counter Key and Hand Key to Open Locked DVD Cases

 

Place DVD case onto the magnetic base of the Alpha S3 CounterKey.

  • Slide the gray tab completely to the right to to unlock the security case. That will disengage the locking mechanism. If the key does not open the first time, try again. If you need assistance ask for help at the reference desk.
  • Lift the case off the key and open. Place the DVD case in the storage bin and follow the Check Out process (Item barcode for DVD is located inside the case). Remember - if there are multiple DVDs in a case, scan each individual barcode.
