So, they're customer service dept is closed. So figured i'd try here. Couldn't really find much on google.
Yea yea yea i know. I got the safe from a big box store and some might not call it a 'real' safe. But it's heavy(ish) and does what it's intended to do. So now that i have that out the way. Just went to go try and open it and punch in the code and it clicks like it unlocks, but wheel doesn't turn. It's the keypad entry one. Any ideas? EDIT/NOTE: The safe did not indicate the battery was dead or dying. Changed the 9volt and it opened fine. If you have this same problem change the battery. Did not have enough power to actuate the lock.

PM SilverTauron, he can have it open in 60 seconds.
Then, in the future, just leave your guns on a park bench.

sounds like something stuck, be forceful with the handle
hard to explain, but something might get stuck under the rod, so you have to kind of get that unstuck i let a box of ammo get under where the rod goes down on the inside, so it got stuck, I had to 'force the rod closed' all the way, then it opened, I essentially had to force it closed more than it would go, which actually crushed the top of the ammo box. so, enter the code, turn to unlock, then turn the handle to lock, as hard as it will go. |

A lot of safes will bind on one pin when locked and the handle is turned. so take the tension off of the pin by turning the handle the opposite direction in which you would turn it to open, put in the code and it should open right up.

So you got it? How long would you say that battery was in there? You should be able to get by without changing it for a year...

That's what i'm saying. Battery can't be more than 4-5 months old. And no indicator as to it was dead or dying like it's supposed too.

And this is one reason why I do not trust electronic locks. But to be fair the manual says the change the battery at least once a year.

Yes all the way to the side that is not the open direction and from all the safes I have seen that would be to the right

after you change the batteries in the smoke detectors and reset the clocks at daylight savings time, change the batteries in the safe so you get no surprises.

Don't most e-locks have an emergency/backup way of getting in, whether it's a key or an external battery pack or something? BTW I'm glad I paid the extra for the dial lock, too...

This, and because when the Chinese or Iranians or North Koreans hit us with a few atmospheric nuclear bursts, the resulting EMP will render all electronic safes unopenable.
Just when you need them guns the most! |

It's a good idea to have a fresh battery taped to the side of the safe for instances such as this |

Someone asked me to come look at one of these.
It was locked and apparently never opened. It had an "over-ride" ace key snug-left of the keypad. Battery was dead. Over-ride key barely turned a degree ccw. I built a keypad battery pack, and it energized the keypad allowing the default code to say "open", but neither method allowed the bolts to turn. I tried lifting the door with a pry tool in case there was pressure on the mechanism, but that didn't help. I tried "rapping" the door with a mallet, that also didn't help. The manufacturer said the 2004 safe was too old for them to have ANY info. What would help is if someone had/could send me photo's of inside the door. Around the solenoid, and around the over-ride key. I have photos PLEASE HELP. |

Ive had my Cannon safe for at least 7 years with no problems. A red light will blink when the battery starts to get low.
I use my safe at least twice every single day and most days about 10 times. I change the battery every daylight savings time with no issues in between.

**> REVISED:
The "help-line" told me I was to use a 6 volt battery pack to jump-start from the outside. She didn't sound real sure. Others have posted to use 9 Volts. Which is it? New thread started... Last edited by Rotary Pick; 07-26-2013 at 6:28 PM.. Reason: High-jacking: Bad !! |
