Question edited for clarity.
We don't supply keys, we are Fixya, we only supply information.
All these electronic safes are very weak as regards security. Open it with a can of beer or a potato.

If you're using a card, make sure it's not damaged or expired.
Inspect the Battery:
Verify that there's enough power in the battery compartment. Check if the battery light (if applicable) is functioning properly. If not, replace the batteries as needed.
Examine the Door:
Ensure all panels are in place, including any decals or stickers on glass doors (if applicable).
Inspect the Lock Itself:
Look for any bent or broken parts on the lock. If you notice any issues, contact Vingcard immediately.
Check Your Computer:
Sometimes, the card reader issues might be related to your computer. Ensure your computer is turned on and try plugging in a different device. If that doesn't resolve the problem, reboot the system by turning it off and back on.
Software Considerations:
Make sure you're running the latest software version for your VingCard locks.
Power Supply:
Verify if there's any issue with the power supply. Check cables and connections. If necessary, reset everything after shutting down the system during the hotel door lock installation process.
If this is no go, contacdt Vingcard.
Options to help access your safe:
Default Factory Code Reset (if applicable):
Some Paragon safes have a default factory code that can be used to reset the combination. Locate the reset button on the back of the safe (if available) and press and hold it for 3 seconds. This will reset the combination to the factory default (usually 0000). You can then set a new combination of your choice.
Manual Override Key:
Check if your safe came with an emergency override key. These keys are typically used to open the safe when the electronic keypad fails. Look for a keyhole cover on the keypad and insert the key. Turn it counter-clockwise to unlock the safe, then turn the handle clockwise to open the door.
Contact Paragon Lock & Safe Support:
If the above options don't work, I recommend reaching out to Paragon Lock & Safe customer support. They may be able to provide additional assistance or guide you through the process of opening the safe without the code or key.
Remember to keep your emergency override keys in a separate, secure location outside the safe to avoid any future issues.

Let's get that lock back in working order! Here are some steps you can try to reset the combination and get your lock functioning again:
Manual Reset Button (Keypad Method):
Start with the lock open and the dials set to the default combination, which is typically 0-0-0.
Make sure the dials are lined up with the red indicator.
Locate the small reset button on the bottom or side of the lock.
Press and hold the reset button using a pen or similar pointed object.
While holding the button down, change the dials to your desired code.
Release the reset button and test the new code.
oreilly auto parts sells the ignition lock cylinder which comes with the installation manual. This is a security device requiring programming. Fixya would not have the programming for the device.
If it is not fixed to the wall , drop it on a bed holding the opening dial and as it bounces open it . It took me a couple of goes to get it right but it works
A friend had a similar issue with his lock. After taking the back plate off I found that silver arm that locks into the door handle cam had lost a tiny c clip and come apart. One I reassembled both parts of the arm on the retaining peg using the c clip and put the white spacer ring on top everything looked right. Reassembling the gear section while keeping the round handle return spring from popping off was challenging.
You can open them faster with a rare earth puck magnet that you can putting the combination digits in.

There are also this type of attack but the Lock Picking Lawyer shows the workings. The magnet pulls the solenoid in the same way. It is a low skill attack.

Classic mistake keeping the emergency key inside the safe!
It can be opened very easily in 10 seconds with a large rare earth puck magnet in a sock. They all work the same way using an electronic magnetic solenoid operated by the internal battery. The puck magnet does it externally.

Look at the YouTube channel 'The Lock Picking Lawyer'. All his videos are short and sweet. All combination locks can be decoded with a feeler gauge or a thin piece of plastic. He will have opened this lock.
