Have had a problem for a bit. Gun safe does not want to open all the time with combo.. Wife would wiggle it just right to open but now does not work. I think it is at least a 48 gun safe. to be honest i am so annoyed right now I am about to go to my shop and get a torch! Lots in it and was looking to sell something tonight when it would not open. Thanks for any help!

"Check the battery. We recommend using an Energizer or Duracell battery that is 100% Alkaline, no lithium, non-rechargeable battery, and with an expiration date of 5 years in the future.

Also, try turning the handle to the right, without letting go of the pressure, put in the code, then turn it to the left. Once you hear the 2 beeps your safe should open.

Note: If your safe still doesn’t open, call customer service (702) 910-2491."

a very large/strong magnet can open it if you can find the solenoid. Usually they are located 1/2 way between handle and top of door on righthand side.

What does Cannon say?
Surely you’ve asked them for help.

Treadlock took care of my problem 15 yrs after the purchase.

Should ya get into it,
I’ve known several guys who looked at who made the locking mechanism, googled it, bought new ones, and found on YouTube how to install whole new mechanism

Wish I could help more.

Fair reply. I should not have been so short on my request for help on this site. I have not yet reached out to Cannon. I did try your suggestions they did not work. Simple example of not getting results instantly when needed! Again I did not give Cannon a chance to fix issue. Will call in a.m..

This is why I stick to dials. Analog boy in a digital world I guess.


I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."

So you have a digital key pad? What happens when you remove it and use the physical key in the keyhole?

I recently had a problem with one of mine and was told by the company that they only have a 1 year warranty. The manufacturer for Winchester safes has changed 3 times in 20 years.


I have nothing clever to put here.
