Gun safe issue ?

[Strummer]

Anyone here ever have trouble getting their safe to unlock ? Sometimes I have to enter my combination 3,4 or 5 times before it unlocks . I have already changed the battery . Actually I have tried two new batteries.

Never, what brand safe is it?

It’s a cannon . Think it’s a 48 gun .

I also have a cannon but like I said no issues with opening. (unless I mess up the code.)
Been running the same battery for a couple of years.

I have had this issue in the past, and I had to add a number (up or down) to each digit of the combination. Once I did that, it opened every time.

Example - Original combo 8 -21-26
Adjusted combo 9 -22- 27

This was a wheel safe, not digital.

I think my safe is 8 years old . This is the second time I have replaced the battery. It might be the keypad having an issue . Just watched a YouTube video about it . It’s acting like my keypad is going out . Fixing to email Cannon and see what they say .

I did this to mine. I trashed the electronic combo for a old dial so now I don't have to worry about an EMP blast taking out my safe.

Might end up going this was . For some reason I’m not a fan of the dial lock . My dads safe is a dial .

It's preference, but when a local gun shop buddy had all his e-locks go out after a thunder storm??

S&G dials for me.

And here I was just worried about the battery going out.

Why would a thunderstorm cause a lock to fail ?

[Artos]

No idea...said he found out the next day after the electric / thunder storm. Customer wanted to buy a safe & then found out all e-dials got knocked out. Only thing he could contribute it to was the storm??

I know they reported a lot of lightning strikes but said he had no evidence of a hit on the store.

Use all alkaline Duracell or Energizer batteries per Cannon. I have found that cheap batteries don't work very well, so I always use good batteries which cost more.

I've had a Browning for 20 plus years, no batteries. My biggest concern is forgetting the combo sequence.

It’s got a new alkaline energizer . Still doing the same thing .
