Do you have a gun safe with electronic lock and have you had trouble with the lock. Brand and if you had problem how old was it when you did?
Thank for your responce.

Bigtim, I highly suggest not getting on with electronic. Takes me 10 sec to get into my browning safe. I do have friends with electronic locks, but sooner or later you will have trouble with it. As an electrical engineer (before optics), electronics fail.

Thought you where talking about me for a minute. LOL I went compo as the guy at gander said in 5 seconds you could knock the digital pad of and your screwed. Though I do not see how you could not just get a new pad. Takes me less then a minute to get into my safe. Plus like bigcountry says it is electronics they fail sooner or later. I plan on getting a bigger safe next fall. The 10 gun sentry is not big enough nor safe enough for me. Plus dad said he would give me the 300 bucks back for it when i do. Guess he needs one for normal stuff. I will properly go browning or cannon with a combo.

Ohh the sentry 10 gun digital at walmart sucked. I was looking at it and lifted alittle to see if the cover came off the entire digital lock panel came off being held by a computer cable.

never had aproblem...gotta enter digits a lil slower than a keyboard, but so far so good..had to change batts one time so far in 5 years.

I own a Granite safe with a electronic lock. One has to be very precise when entering any numbers. To program it follow the instructions to a T. Good luck.

Never had one, and will never get one. Too much opportunity for failure, and take too long to get into.

I would also agree. Cheap gets you cheap stuff. Though i notice on my 300 sentry combo safe you can run past the last number atleast 3 or 4 numbers go back and open it. Though i guess if you know the first two numbers your going to know the third anyway

HellsAngel

have ya tried to close the safe and then just roll the dial back to the the last number in the combination and try and open?..
