Duffield, SASS #23454 355 Posted May 16 I have no experience with steelwater safes, if they do not pan out, you might try Sportsman Steel Safes http://www.sportsmansteelsafes.com/blog/best-gun-safe-reviews/ They are relatively close to you and make a good safe.

Eyesa Horg 956 Posted May 16 A friend of mine has one in my garage. It is about 300 pounds heavier than my Champion of the same size. 42 wide and about 60 high thereabouts. The seal keeps falling off around the door is the only issue we've had so far. Shipping was free at the time so it was a pretty good deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G W Wade 562 Posted May 16 I bought the electronic lock on the advice from my dealer. First thing a robber will do is destroy your wheel. If a combination tumbler it"s just locked up. The electric will just fall off, but supposedly there will be a good chance you can retrieve the wire and reattach. No attempts yet and no problems with it for 25+ yrs. Sorry, but no experience with the brand of safe your asking about. GW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GW You should have done some research, instead of letting a salesman 'educate' you. It called a 'relocker' and if the dial is destroyed. The safe still can't be opened. https://www.libertysafe.com/8-relocker-devices-lm-4-p-67.html OLG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He claimed if my touch pad was ripped off he could just connect the wires to a new touch pad. Just hope never have to find out GW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smoky Pistols 450 Posted May 16 As a locksmith, a relocker on a safe is a very good feature to have! It's normally cheaper to have a locksmith come out and open/repair a safe that has been vandalized but not opened than it is to replace the contents of one that was opened.

Just hope never have to find out GW If that were correct-That makes an even a stronger argument against ele. combo locks. The 'bad-guy' removes yours-hooks his up and opens the door....That is what you are saying. Locksmiths love ele combo locks. I have yet to see one that was not China made- OLG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G W Wade 562 Posted May 16 Good argument SIR. But he would have to have the code. Correct. The lock operates on the code, the touch pads just enters the code. P.S. I do respect you views GW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Original Lumpy Gritz 4,942 Posted May 16 He could just enter the factory default code-The same a locksmith would have. You really need to watch this-Pretty much 'fits' all ele combo locks. OLG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
