Overview
This article helps you identify and fix common issues with Codebox lockbox devices used in RentEngine.
General troubleshooting steps
Before digging into device-specific problems:
Go to the Lockboxes tab in RentEngine.
Confirm the lockbox’s serial number matches the device at the property.
Click the Generate Code button and see if any errors appear (this will help with troubleshooting using the guide below)
If a property has multiple lockboxes connected, remove the extra ones and keep only the correct device.
Codebox troubleshooting
Use these steps when your Codebox device isn’t behaving as expected:
Code doesn’t generate or shows error
Log in to your Codebox account and open Active Lockboxes.
If the serial number is under Inactive Lockboxes, move it back to Active.
If the serial number isn’t present, contact Codebox support at [email protected] to move the device into your account.
Code generates but does not open the device
Confirm the property in RentEngine is set up as a Digital lockbox for showings.
Check the Lockboxes tab for duplicate lockbox assignments and remove extras.
Verify that the serial number in RentEngine exactly matches the lockbox’s physical serial.
“Failed to load lockbox information” in Command Center
This typically means RentEngine sees more than one lockbox connected to the property.
Open Lockboxes and remove any incorrect devices from that property.
Re-try generating the code.
