WHAT TO DO IF YOUR ELECTRONIC GUN SAFE WONT OPEN
2

• No matter how often or infrequently you open your
  electronic gun safe, few things can be more
  frustrating than not being able to get into it
  when you need to. Usually caused by battery
  failure, while it might mean that the battery is
  dead, it could also mean that it doesnt have
  enough amperage to power the electronic lock.
• To make sure that your electronic gun safe
  continues to function as it should, here are a
  few things to keep in mind

• Is the battery in your electronic gun safe dead?
• This is undoubtedly one of the most common
  reasons behind an electronic safe not opening,
  and while the solution is of course to replace
  it, you can make sure you dont get caught out in
  the future, by replacing the battery at least
  once a year.
• Does the battery youre using have enough
  amperage?
• The amperage of a battery is different to that of
  its voltage, and measures the volume of
  electrons, as opposed to the pressure of
  electrons. Another common cause of an electronic
  gun safe not opening, insufficient amperage
  coupled with the wrong voltage can be troublesome
  if you dont know much about battery testing.

• If this is the case, and you suspect a lack of
  amperage might be causing the safes failure to
  open, simply call up your local locksmith or safe
  specialist and have them come out and test it for
  you.
• Even if you dont suspect this to be the case, a
  visit from a locksmith may be necessary to
  determine the cause behind its failure,
  especially if youve changed the battery and the
  electronic gun safe still wont open.

5

• How often should you replace the electronic lock
  on the gun safe?
• The power supply on your electronic gun safes
  lock will continue to become strained as the safe
  gets older, and while earlier locks those
  manufactured from around the mid-80s up to
  around 2014 typically last from 6 years up to
  12, those that were built after 2015, can be
  reasonably expected to survive for between 12 and
  20 years.
• If youre unsure about the age of your electronic
  gun safe, or are concerned that the lock may be
  suffering from wear and tear, its best to
  consult with a safe specialist or locksmith, who
  can give you their professional advice.

• Should you switch to an electronic lock from a
  manual one?
• Of course, the choice is entirely yours, but
  electronic locks undoubtedly offer a greater
  level of convenience, and are equally as secure
  when functioning properly as a manual lock. You
  can easily switch to an electronic lock, but it
  goes without saying that you should never try to
  do this yourself.
• Fortunately, with so many fantastically
  affordable and skilled locksmiths available
  nowadays, you have no need to struggle with your
  electronic or manual safe locks, and no matter
  what the problem may be, you can simply call them
