I got them all on my own! I was a little uncertain about NEON, first thinking it was IRON, but then figured it out.

7/13/2021 - STRONGBOX
My strongbox has a six-digit combination that contains no zeros and no repeated digits. The first digit is one more than the fourth digit, and the sixth digit is three more than the second digit. The second and fifth digits add up to the first digit, and the third and fifth digits add up to the fourth digit. If the sum of all six digits of the combination is 31, what is my strongbox’s combination?

bit tight in the wallet, though.
