Problem with new gun safe > General Discussion

Just got a Stackon electronic lock gun safe. I fucked up entering the default code (damn dyslexia) now it won't let me even enter anything. Tips?

Wait 30 mins and enter the default code again.

Got the numbers right this time.

Somewhere in the directions there might be some info that could help you.

Reading directions is grounds for handing in your Man Card.

Didn't you know that? It's in the rule book, ~~go read it.~~

Don't you know that prior to reading directions, calling the cops, EMT, dog catcher or fire department you are obligated to consult the brilliant minds of ARFCOM?

Try this:

"OPEN SESAME!!"

Did it work?

The instructions say to not lock the instructions inside the safe... but if they're locked in there, you wouldn't be able to read that.

I got one of those, too. I got the smaller 16-gun safe. Not too bad for the price. When I finally end up getting a more expensive one, I'll use my Stack On safe for ammo.

That is the one I got. Not really a 16 gun safe and it doesn't seem to be made for AR carbines, but for $320 you can't beat it. IfWhen

my collection gets larger than the safe I will just get another safe.

Your ammo will fit in a space that small???

Seriously, after 3 failed attempts to enter the correct code, the keyboard shuts down for a period of time (I think 5 minutes) before it will accept entries again. I like my Stackon, but it is too small already.

No, it's NOT made for carbines. I had to make a little shelf that sits along the back for the carbines. There is still a little space under it for a couple pistol cases.

Problem fixed. Lined the bottom of the safe with all of the WWB I have. Raised the AR up high enough for it to fit.

You bought a safe with an electronic lock?

Stupid is as stupid does.

Just wait until the zombies are at the door, and your lock goes to $#!+ on you.

Look at the safe in the moonlight. Dwarven runes will appear. At that point just speak "friend" and enter.

How good of a safe can you buy for $320.00? Might look good but any kind of crack head thief can open it in 5 minutes or less. Not trying to bust your chops, but save your money and buy a real safe. I picked up a used USPS safe for less than 300.

Easier said then done when you rent have have small doorways and limited space. I also don't see a crack head being able bust it open.

It doesn't take much to open any gun safe it you know how. More than five minutes but way less than many would think - way less. 10 gauge steel is not that thick.

It is also really easy to just walk out of my house with guns that I don't have locked up too. I have no room for a big, high end safe I got the next best thing.
