Top 4 Reasons Your Gun Safe Is Beeping (How to solve them)

If you are reading this article, you are likely running into a beeping sound from your gun safe! In this article, we will go through all the reasons your safe may be beeping so you can quickly resolve it.

Beeping from your gun safe can result from many different factors. However, the most common are:

• Dead batteries.
• Incorrect codes being entered.
• A time delay is activated.
• Tamper alert is activated.

So, with that said, let’s get into each reason and get you helped out!

Jump to your concern:

1. beeps every once in a while when you are not using it.

This is the most common reason someone might need clarification about why their safe is beeping at them. If you find that your safe beeps occasionally, it likely is because your 9V battery is starting to die, and it is letting you know that you need to replace it.

To replace the battery (in most gun safes), you have to push upwards on the base of your electronic keypad, and it will pop off. This will reveal the 9V battery behind the keypad, where you will replace the battery, very much like a smoke detector in your home.

So, how often should you change your batteries?  I recommend changing your batteries every time you change the batteries in your smoke detectors every 6 to 12 months or so. If you let your safe get to the point that it has to beep at you, you are waiting too long.

Remember, if you use your safe a lot, or hardly at all, it will change how often your battery will last.

Please note: Your electronic lock can detach from the safe, which may be a surprise. However, all the locking mechanism portions of the lock are on the safe’s interior. They are away from anyone that may want to break into your safe.

2. Beeps when you press electronic lock buttons

Almost every electronic lock will beep from the factory when you press buttons. This is generally to let you know that you have successfully pressed a button, and it was registered.

This lets you catch if you did something incorrectly before continuing with your code sequence. You can turn this beeping off, but we’ll talk about that later in the article!

3. Beeps after inputting the code, but the safe won’t open.

If your safe beeps several times after you attempt to put in your electronic lock code, and the safe won’t open. This generally means that you are either using an incorrect code or accidentally pressing the wrong buttons during the sequence.

I recommend trying your input more carefully to see if you are pressing the wrong buttons or if you should think about if you have recently changed your code.

I do recommend writing down the code that you use for your gun safe; however, never keep it close to the safe, and never label the code as your “gun safe code,” so it will be more difficult for someone to know what they are looking at if your code is discovered.

If you input your code incorrectly too many times in a row, you may go into a lock-out mode (aka time delay). This will lock you out of the safe for a specific time (generally 20 minutes). This will be evident by angry beeping after inputting your code and the safe not opening.

4. Your safe is beeping after you move it.

This is a good thing! Many newer, smart pistol safes offer tamper alerts. This means that if a child picks it up or a thief tries to take it away, it sounds an alarm with a beeping sound. Some, safes like Vaultek’s safes (which can be found on my favorite gun safes article) , will even notify your phone to let you know it is being tampered with.

Can you turn off the beeping on a gun safe?

While you can’t turn off some beeping functions on most safes, you can turn off the beeping sound when you actively press buttons on the safe.

This differs widely depending on the safe and the brand you purchased . Most safes will show you step-by-step how to do this in the user manual, or you can always call the manufacturer.

Generally speaking, you turn off the beeping by inputting a specific code sequence into the pad, which will disable the beeping.

So why would you want to turn off the beeping?  While the beeping is helpful to let you know a successful input, it is also a sound that might alert anyone in the home of your presence that you may not want. This is up to you and the purpose of your safe. If it is for self-defense storage, you should disable it. If it is strictly for storage, then the beeping is quite helpful.

What should I do if I can’t stop the beeping?

So you read this article thoroughly, tried different things, and still can’t get your safe to stop beeping? That is where a locksmith is going to come into play. Locksmiths will work directly with the manufacturer of your gun safe to troubleshoot the issue on your safe. They will help by repairing any problems that have arisen and more.

If the safe is too damaged, it is possible they may have to drill and repair your safe to get it opened. Only certified locksmiths will be able to do this, though, as not just anyone can gain access to the information needed to do this effectively.

Beeping sounds from your gun safe are generally nothing to worry about and can be a helpful indicator that you need to change your batteries or that you might be pressing the wrong buttons during your input sequence. In some cases, you can disable the beeping by following a specific code input.

My Safe Won’t Open: Five Things to Try

One of the most common troubleshooting calls we receive is:

“My safe won’t open. What do I do?”

Here are five common reasons why your safe won’t open, and what steps you should try before you call a technician.

Five Possible Reasons Your Safe Won’t Open

Dead batteries.

Fingers crossed, the reason your safe won’t open is as simple as dead batteries.

Before you try anything, change the batteries using brand name batteries. Off brand batteries lose power much faster than their brand-name counterparts.

It is important to try this step first, even if your keypad beeps and lights up as normal. There may be enough power in the batteries to operate the keypad, but not enough to completely retract the boltwork .

Jammed Bolt Work

At times, the bolt work can get jammed for a wide variety of reasons. If you hear the motor trying to retract the bolt work, but the safe won’t open, a jam could be the culprit.

It’s time to unleash your inner-frustrations; you get to mule kick the safe. Turn your back to the safe, and kick the door, hard, a few times. Be sure that you do not kick the keypad or the handle. This will help loosen the bolt work.

Next, pull the handle in the opposite direction than you normally do and enter the code. This will release some of the extra pressure on the bolt and should help the handle move more freely.

Lockout Mode or Time Delay

Many safes  go into penalty lockout mode if too many wrong codes are entered. Depending on the type of keypad, it typically emits a rapid series of beeps. If this happens, wait 10 to 20 minutes, and try again.

Your safe also may have a time delay . If this is the case, you will need to wait for the specified time delay period (typically 10 minutes) and re-enter your code.

Deactivated Code

Another possible reason your safe won’t open is your code has been deactivated. Have someone else try their code to see if theirs works.

Disconnected and/or Damaged Wiring

As with any electronic device, wiring can get disconnected and/or damaged. Remove the keypad and inspect the wires to see if they have come loose, are kinked, or cut.

If everything is intact, disconnect the wire from the keypad, and remove the batteries. Wait at least 20 seconds, then reinstall the batteries and reconnect the wiring.

If wiring is damaged or cut, you will need to call a technician. Be sure to tell them the type of keypad you have installed so they can bring one when they come.

If you try all of these steps and your safe still won’t open, it’s time to call a technician. If you have any questions, let us know . We’re happy to help!

Hi there, I’m having a problem opening my safe with a LA Gard keypad. Ever since I bought it, it has its moments that it don’t want to cooperate for a day or two..but now it just won’t open.please help as I have money,things for a case in court that is coming up and without them things I dont have a case. What am I doing wrong?(323)253-8045 willie

Hi, Willie. Your best bet is to go to http://www.findalocksmith.com or http://www.savta.org to find a reputable locksmith/safe technician to help you. They’ll charge you and you will have to provide proof of residence for where the safe is located, but they’ll be able to help get the safe open.

I have a lagard lock on me gun safe. I changed my code. Worked fine for a day. My code consisted with of the 1 thru 6. Next day I put in the code and didn’t hear any beep as I pushed the numbers. If I push 7 thru 9 I hear a beep. Need your help please. Thanks

hi bobby i have the same thing all i do is discontect the battery push the key pads and then connect the battery again and at works but i am get fed up with doing that

Where is the battery located?

Please help just bought a safe ( RedHead ) I have the comb but cannot get it to open

Steve, If it has a mechanical lock (No buttons or keypad but has a mechanical 100 number dial) on it turn the dial five complete rotations in either direction. Next, turn the dial counterclockwise (left) three revolutions and stop with the first number comes to the index mark on the fourth rotation. Turn the dial clockwise (right) passing the second number twice and stop when it comes to the index mark on the third revolution. Turn the dial counterclockwise (left) passing the third number once and stop when it comes to the index mark on the second revolution. Now turn the dial clockwise (right) and the dial should come to a dead stop. you should then be able to turn the handle of your safe and open your door.

You may need to do these steps a few times before you get it. Make sure that each time you align the number with the index mark (at 12 o’clock on the dial ring) that you do it precisely, so you are dialing the number exactly.

For example if your safe combination was 25, 45, 65, you would need to dial these exactly. If you dial 23, 42, 63, it will likely not open as the internal components are not aligned properly.

If you have an electronic lock, try replacing the battery with a brand new Duracell battery and try again.

You may need to contact the manufacturer if these procedures don’t get you your desired results.

Thank you for your comment.

Hi, I have a dominator ground safe operated with a key which I have not opened in over one year. Now I kneed access to important documents and the key won’t turn the lock. Please advise.

I suggest contacting the manufacturer of your safe to see if there is a manufacturer approved troubleshooting document available or if your safe is still under warranty. It may be that there is debris in your lock and could be as simple as vacuuming the keyway out to clean out debris. If there is a lock failure, you will need to locate a reputable safe technician in your area. Safe technicians can be found searched for at http://www.savta.org , http://www.findalocksmith.com , or http://www.clearstar.com

All the best to you.

I own a protector gun safe and the batteries are to low to open the door. I tried my key and it will not turn and I broke the key tab off. I can remove the broken piece. What do I do now?

Hi, I need to change the batteries of our safe, but I cannot remove them by opening the keypad. Seems they need to be replaced from inside the door.It is a Fier Fyter from Costco. Should I call a technician or is there an easier solution? Thanks for your help! Elsa

Elsa, I would suggest contacting COSTCO and see if there is a warranty or if they have the contact information for the manufacturer. You may also want to go to http://www.findalocksmith.com or http://www.savta.org and using their search tools, should be able to find someone near you able to help.

Melissa, I would suggest contacting the company you bought it from. “Redhead” has been used by a couple of manufacturers as names for certain lines of safes. The company you purchased it from should be able to help you locate a number to contact the manufacturer. If this doesn’t work, I suggest going to http://www.findalocksmith.com or http://www.savta.org to locate a reputable safe technician in your area to remedy your safe issue.

How do u reserved the combination on a 2007 redhead gun cabinet

Very good. After an evening of total grrrr frustration, I came across this site on google. You saved the day. The 24/7 phone number on the safe was useless as I called a few times with no answer (musta been on a p@#$ break). Anyway, even though the battery worked, lights worked and the beeps worked…. as you stated, the battery did not have enough “juice” to completely retract the boltwork. A quick trip to the drug store, a new battery and everyone’s happy again. ^5

We love hearing stories like this! Glad we could help!

I just bought a 24 gun stack on safe. Got home and the code I put in worked every time now 2 days later I pressed the keypad and makes no beep and when I press one number from my code such as 0 it beeps and when I finish the code, the yellow light flashes 3 times. I can still get in the safe with the back up key but it’s frustrating that 600 safe keypad won’t work when it did yesterday and the day before with no issues! Their customer support is closed till Monday. I disconnected everything and when I plug it back in it just beeps and does nothing on the keypad and just put in a energizer battery brand new!

Hi I just bought the same safe you havr and having the same problem as you. Have you figured it out yet? Any help will be appreciated.

I called stack on customer service and they walked me through the problem. The black piece on the motherboard was loose which causes only one Or two buttons to work. They sent me all new parts for free and works perfect. I would just call them and they will help u out.

Thanks alot. I lef it alone awhile after messing with the wires and it wasnt doing anything and went back about an hour later now its fine. I guess it was a loose connection and it needed time to reset lol. Glad it also came with keys.

We put the five number code in but the handle doesn’t go all the way down

Handle won’t push down all the way

Hi I have a safe that uses the lg basic 3710. The keypad has stopped working and the safe is locked. There is no power going to the key pad even though I’ve replace the 9V battery with a new one. The supplier is charging me more than the cost of a new safe to get access to my contents (I feel as if I’m held to ransom). Can I peel off the existing keypad and replace it with a new electronic Lagard keypad, get the safe door opened, get access to my contents and have a working safe? Thanks

Does it not come with a back up key? Also I wouldn’t go through the company unless your motherboard is defected and they send u another one like I got when mine quick working. I got it for free. But you should’ve gotten a back up key if it’s electronic

Also, there is a motherboard inside the safe so u would have to open the safe to even get to the motherboard. Check all the connections and pull out the ribbon from the key pad from the circuit board and then plug it back in. Usually comes loose

Hi Brandon Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately the safe has no key hole … it cannot be opened by a key. The only access is through the keypad. Considering that I’ve had the safe for 15 year I think the circuitry has died (even though you would expect a commercial quality safe would last a lot longer). I was only wondering that, if I did peel away the keypad, removed the ribbon cable (I think the circuitry is within the keypad) and reconnect it to a newer model keypad (such as the Lagard LG Basic II) that maybe I can unlock the safe and, not only get access to my contents, but at the same time have a secure safe again. I’m only asking for advice before I attempt anything ….. Thanks

To be honest I couldn’t tell u. But I know there is a motherboard and a circuit board and one is inside the safe by the locking mechanism

Thanks Brandon. I’ll do some more research before I make a final decision.

i am have the same problem. it is a cannon safari safe.. no key!

Call the company is the best option you have and have then figure it out. Always try the battery and unplug what u can and reset it. If not call the company and they could either send somebody to help u out or even send u new parts to get in the safe

I have an problem in keep safe …That is ….When I entered password after that it’s shows me timers again again …What should I do….Plzz help me

Make sure that your battery terminals aren’t corroded because that’s what was wrong with mine. As soon as I cleaned up the terminals it worked

I have an amsec esl5 electronic lock on a tactical gun safe that drains a 9V battery in 3 days. At this point the lock won’t open even with a fresh battery it beeps four times when I enter the correct code or the default code. What are my options?

We have a challenger tall gun safe. The code is beeping but when it comes to turn the bolt to open it it will not move… It usually makes a noise after code of it moving the bolts to open it is no longer doing that… Help please

I have a Patriot safe that I bought from a guy that buys Estate sales. He did not have the keys nor the numbers for the key pad.so I got it for a great price. Well after getting it home I find out Patriot Safes are out of buisness now. What do I do?

I had (note, had) an OA3810 SentrySafe. It wouldn’t open either. First I removed the 4 AA batteries, put in fresh ones. Nope. I installed a 9v. Nope The solenoid on the OA3810 is apparently on the upper right corner – getting physical. Tapping it with a mallet failed,beating it everywhere failed. So did the Rare Earth magnet I ordered, trying to get the solenoid to move. Nada. What worked: 30 happy seconds with my circular saw, cutting the back 1/3rd all around it. Then a bit of prying with my flat shovel, maybe 5 minutes, exposing the back wall of the inner plastic. The I carefully circular-sawed a square cut at the edges…got my stuff out.

I own a Sentry Model 1610 which I inherited. I have recently moved house and can’t open it. I have changed the batteries and they appear to be OK. I have used the original programmed numbers but to no avail. HELP

Thanks, you saved my life. I didn’t know that a simple battery change would solve my problem. I had luck to read your posting before contacting technicians which could have costed a lots.

My husband’s gun safe’s lock has broken, and I had no idea what to do. I don’t want the kids to get into it and hurt themselves, so I was glad to see your tips. I am especially glad for your last tip about disconnected and damaged wiring because I suspect that may be the problem. Now I just need a locksmith to fix it.

Cabela gun safe won’t open. Bought used over a year ago. From what I read sounds like I need to change battery. Multiple beeps sound and light flashes, but won’t open. I assume battery is on inside. What do I so

Problem with a "Cannon Safari" safe

• lock has failed

Marshal fire, sass 10064.

I bought a "Safari" brand safe 4.5 years ago. This safe is made by the Cannon safe company. Unit has an electronic lock that has functioned without problems in the past.

This morning tried to open it and got a low battery signal. Funny I replaced batteries with new Duracells about 6 months ago. They provide an external battery device so I can supply current to the lock from the exterior of the safe to open when the batteries are dead. Tried this and the safe still did not open. Got out the instructions and called customer service ( Cannon Safe) They said too bad sucks to be you (not their words, mine). They no longer have parts for this safe and they do not stock the override key. He said that is is the only safe that they no longer have parts or service for. He said to call a lock smith and have he cut the safe open. I registered the safe when I purchased it. They said that the key was not sent with the safe and was a special order as needed and that as long as I have the external battery supply I should be set.

Learned some lessons,

1. Stick with a good dial lock as they are less prone to failure and wear

2. When Cannon drops a safe they do not notice owners

3. It is expensive to have a lock smith open a safe that has failed

4. Never had issues with my older safe made by other companies ( they have dial locks)

5. Replacement safe will not be a cannon

just my experience and thoughts

I have a Cannon safe with a dial combo. I've always ben a little leery of the electronic locks.

Tennessee Trapper Tom

I also have a Cannon safe with electronic locks. Found out the hard way that Durecel batteries tend to corrod the wires. Switched to everready. Even though it solved my problem, the damage is done and I have to now change batteries every two weeks. Samething happened to my thermostat for the house. Durecell corroded the wires. Cost me $165 to replace. It came with durecel, switched immediately to everready

Have you gotten your safe open yet?

My brother had the same problem, and couldn't find the override key. I have dials on my safes, they always work and never go dead. What is the advantage of an electronic lock anyway, faster access? I'm not in that much of a hurry.

Czexican Dave

My first gun safe was a Liberty Fat Boy with an electronic lock. Went to retrieve guns for a CAS monthly match, but it would not open. Tried a new and a different brand of battery, but no luck. Called Liberty and they said to call a specific independent lock/safesmith in my general area, and don't worry, they would pay for his services. Took him about 2 1/2 hours to drill and open the safe. I inquired, and he said his bill private pay would have been about $400. He also said electronic locks fail on an average of 5 years, and warranty work on them helped keep him in business. He also said a dial lock might last 100 years. Part of his business is replacing new mechanical dial locks at customer request with more modern electronic locks, so he had a few with him and he installed one of those. That gun safe takes me less than one minute extra to open, and has been operating flawlessly since. My second Liberty Fat Boy has an electronic lock, simply because I haven't called him to take off the electronic and install a dial lock. Based on my experience, Liberty does seem to have a good warranty. I also have a 100 year old floor safe that belonged to my wife's grandfather. That dial lock still works fine. When I finish my walk in vault, it's going to have a dial lock. Your mileage may vary.

I was having problems with digital cameras.

The battery was always dead.

So one day I stopped and bought a battery tester.

It isn't much advantage to replace a battery with a half charge battery.

They all look the same.

I have found batteries corroded IN THE WRAPPER.

Duracell DID replace my lectrical earmuffs.

GET A TESTER.

I learned my lesson about electronic locks on a cheap Stack-on safe. That electronic lock was terrible, it was actually quicker to just always use the override key. My current safe is a BF Amsec with a group II combination lock.

I have three Cannon safes. First one is a dial and when you bring it back to 0 you have to hit it to get everything to fall into place. Second one is digital and haven't had a lick of problems. My third one is digital and it kept draining the battery and locking me out after only owning it for a week. Like you, I couldn't get my ammo out for a match the next day. Sent an email to the President of Cannon and I got a phone call within an hour from a service rep. Got my safe open and sent me a new lock. Haven't had any problems since and that was last year I believe.

Maddog McCoy SASS #5672

My Cannon I bought last year has been doing strange things recently. I was sitting in my Man-Cave and I heard it unlock itself with nobody around. The last couple of times I tried to open it, had to enter the code 4 or 5 times and it seemed it I entered it fast, it would work but not if I entered it slow. I guess I had best call them before I get locked out.

Big Box Residential security containers cut expenses by using cheap parts The lock is one of the easiest places to cut corners that is hard for the purchaser to notice.

If it has an electronic lock that is not at least UL group II certified it is not worth having. Even then the rating only covers its resistance to compromise not reliability. IMHO when it comes to electronic locks you are operating on borrowed time.

I still don't understand the purpose of a combination lock that can be bypassed with a key.

Mechanical locks should have the same UL Group II rating at a minimum. S&G dial locks have an excellent reputation. Look at your lock and google the manufacturer. If they are less than 100% reputable have it replaced ASAP while it still works.

Dial locks can outlast you but they need a little TLC to do so. So avoid rapidly spinning the dial. This places excessive strain on the mechanics of the lock and can lead to premature failure. The dial should always be turned in a slow and deliberate manner.

Troubleshooting Beeping Issues with Your Gun Safe: October 2023 Guide

Are you hearing strange beeping sounds from your gun safe? Don’t worry! These easy measures can get you to the bottom in no time.

Welcome to October 2023, where I’m here to tackle those annoying beeping issues with your gun safe head-on! There’s nothing worse than a persistent beep when you’re trying to keep your firearms secure.

If your gun safe is causing a ruckus, worry not; I’ve got your back. This October 2023 guide is all about troubleshooting those beeping problems. I’ll help you identify the source of the issue and guide you through the steps to silence that pesky sound. Your firearms deserve a secure and quiet home, so let’s get to the bottom of this and ensure your gun safe operates smoothly throughout the month and beyond!

Why Gun Safes Beep

Several states in the US mandate that all handguns supplied by dealers include a secure gun safety device . Unfortunately, improper care on your gun safes may cause problems like beeping. 

Here’s a closer look into understanding common causes of beeping issues on your gun safe:

Low Battery

Most gun safes require batteries to operate the keypad locks or other accessories. These batteries continue to drain even when not being used.

Chirps, beeps, and humming are all signs that your batteries are low.

Faulty Electrical Connection

Improper electrical connections within the safe cause a constant humming or buzzing sound when the power is connected. The common issues are:

• Pinched wire insulation.
• Poor soldering points.
• Solder contacts that need cleaning.
• Corrosion at electrical contact points.

Malfunctioning Control Board or Components

A malfunctioning control board or component might think it is time to reset itself. This is due to improper programming by the user. The gun safe will try to reboot itself automatically while making beeping noises.

Loose Wiring Connections

Some wiring connections sticking out can cause a connection malfunction, resulting in a continuous loud buzz from within the safe.

Troubleshooting Beeping Issues with Your Gun Safe

If your gun safe is beeping, follow these steps to diagnose and repair the issue: 

1. Check the Battery

The first step in troubleshooting beeping issues is to check if the battery is low. 

• How to Check if the Battery is Low

Step 1: Locate the battery inside your gun safe. 

Step 2: Remove the back cover of the control panel. Check that it reads at least 7.2 volts on the digital meter. If it reads lower than 6 volts, replace it.

Note: On old models, multiple beeps in a row indicate low battery . 

• How To Replace The Battery

Step 1. Open the control panel cover: Inside, you will find two screws that secure the mounting bracket for the battery. 

Step 2. Loosen the screws: You can use a screwdriver until they come out easily. 

Step 3. Remove corrosion from contact surfaces: You can use sandpaper or steel wool. You must use caution to avoid damaging any electrical components or wiring contacts. 

Step 4. Insert a new 9V battery : Insert the new battery into the bracket and secure it with the screws. Ensure all connections are properly in place before closing the control panel.  

Note: You can easily find and remove the battery on some gun safes. Just make sure to insert the batteries properly. 

2. Inspect The Lock Mechanism

If you have determined that a faulty lock mechanism is causing your gun safe to beep, then here are several things you can do: 

• How to Inspect the Lock Mechanism

Step 1 : Take off any panels covering parts of the locking mechanisms, such as deadbolts or hinges. 

Step 2: Carefully check all visible parts of the mechanism for any wear or damage. These can be exposed wires, loose connections, corroded metal pieces, etc. 

• How To Fix Common Problems With The Lock Mechanism

1. Clean any dirt or debris inside the lock mechanism: Use an air compressor or electronic cleaning tool designed for this purpose. Some locks also benefit from lubrication if they run less smoothly after cleaning.

2. Adjust components like bolts, springs, and pins: Ensure they fit properly within their respective locations. This will help restore your gun safe’s locking system to normal operation. Take extra precautions not to disrupt existing settings on digital systems.

3. Run a test cycle with the setting: This is to check that everything has been restored correctly. 

Note: If necessary, refer to your product’s manual for instructions on properly lubricating metal components or replacing worn-out parts. Ensure to use approved replacements from a trusted manufacturer to resolve issues.

3. Check the Alarm System

A working alarm system prevents thieves from easily breaking into your gun safe . Here are some easy steps to test and reset your alarm system.

• How to Test the Alarm System

Step 1: Unlock and open your gun safe before attempting any testing procedure. You should check its functionality to ensure it’s in proper working order.  

Step 2: Locate your gun safe’s alarm system. This area should have a LED light indicating whether the alarm is turned on or off. 

Step 3: Set the alarm system in motion by pressing the button firmly for about five seconds. This will activate your security device and begin the testing process.

Step 4: Turn on and off your gun safes siren manually with a separate switch. If necessary, check the user manual before doing this. The siren should be loud enough to alert people nearby but not so loud as to cause panic in residential areas. 

Step 5: Replace batteries within alarms when necessary. Always ensure they are fully charged or new before attempting any test run. You should reset all alarms to their original state after the testing.

• How to Reset the Alarm System

Step 1. Locate the alarm system activation button: To deactivate the alarm, locate the activation button near the locking mechanism. Press it firmly for at least three seconds until a green light appears. The light indicates that the system is off.

Step 2. Check that all doors are closed properly: All safe doors should be closed properly before resetting the alarm system. Faulty door strikes can activate a false alarm. Open and close each door one at a time to ensure they’re working correctly.

Step 3. Arm your gun safe’s alarm system: You can arm a motion sensor by pressing the activation button until the red light appears. This indicates that it has been successfully armed. The red light will stay lit while motion is detected in its range.

4. Getting Professional Help

Like any mechanical or electronic device, gun safes may experience issues that require prompt attention from an experienced locksmith or technician.

These professionals can assess the situation and advise you on any issues. Here’s a list of hard-to-solve issues on your gun safe that requires professional help. 

Frozen Lock

If your safe’s lock doesn’t budge , a locksmith or safe technician can help you determine its mechanical or electronic malfunction. 

If you’ve misplaced your key , a locksmith can provide replacement keys for your safe quickly and efficiently. 

Damaged Lock

Even the best-maintained safe can develop problems with its internal locking mechanism. Having your lock serviced periodically by a skilled technician will ensure everything will work smoothly.

Locking Bolts Need Adjustment

The bolts inside most gun safes are adjustable according to individual needs. A qualified technician can examine all interior locking components during service visits and adjust accordingly.

Tips for Finding a Reputable Professional

Finding the right professional can be difficult and time-consuming, but I’m making it easy for you. 

Here are tips when it comes to finding a reliable professional for your gun safe:

• Check references and reviews.
• Look for specialization.
• Go with licensed professionals.
• Interview them.
• Research their company history.
• Verify credentials and training certificates.

It is important to troubleshoot beeping issues with your safe to ensure it functions properly.

Self-troubleshooting can be difficult, but enough research will surely make it easy. If the issue persists, contact an authorized gun-safe technician who can help fix the issue and save you time. 

Regularly check batteries and wires and follow user manuals instructions when using and maintaining the safe. 

Also, record all valuable items inside the safe to determine if anything goes missing. 

Knowing the cause and following these simple steps will ensure maximum protection for your family and avoid future consequences.

How do you stop the beeping on a safe?

You must find the beeping source and disable or turn it off. Depending on the safe, there might be an internal reset switch or a code you will need to enter to disable the alarm.

Why is my cannon gun safe beeping?

Your cannon gun safe is beeping because the batteries need to be replaced, you entered an incorrect code, or pressure sensors inside the safe have detected motion.

Why is my electronic safe beeping?

Your electronic safe may be beeping if the wrong combination has been entered repeatedly, the deadbolt is not fully shut, or the batteries are nearly drained.

Why does my lock keep beeping?

Your lock is beeping because the battery is low. You will need to replace the battery to make the beeping sound stop.

Information for Cannon Safe Owners with SecuRam Electronic Locks

By gguldens56

Folks, a few years back, I purchased a Safari by Cannon safe with a SecuRam electronic lock for my Son.  Fairly quickly he noticed that the safe was signaling that the battery needed to be changed much more frequently than my safe did.  This constant messing with the battery connector and the associated wires caused the tiny wires to fail, rendering the keypad useless.  I managed to repair all this the first time, and my Son attempted the second repair.  The second repair caused the keypad to quit working entirely even though I could verify with a DMM that we had the correct voltage at the solder points on the circuit board.  This was more than a bit disconcerting and became a real problem when the handle for the safe–which had been left in the open position–managed to get brushed and locked the safe with no way to get in.

Called Cannon who offered to send a new keypad and lock mechanism to us for free, but we had to pay a locksmith to drill the safe to get it open.  I asked if the SecuRam keypads were still available and was told by the support person that they were no longer available .  Like most people, when I heard that I concluded–wrongly I might add–that these components were no longer being manufactured.  So, I set out to search the Internet for anything names SecuRam.  Did I ever hit the mother lode!!!

Turns our that SecuRam electronic locks and keypads are very much still being made and the company’s web site is http://securamsys.com/ !   On their web site I found a variety of keypads and after some exploring, I found the specific keypad for my Son’s safe and ordered it.  They ship USPS Priority mail from California and I received it in about 3 days!  The new design on these keypads have a battery carrier that slides into and out of the keypad body in place of the old 9v battery connector and wires.  Once inserted, the 9V battery contacts are engaged by a couple of springs to energize the system, and this entire setup will take much longer to wear out than the old 9V battery connector with those tiny wires that tended to break after several battery changes!   KUDOS to Securamsys for taking a less desirable design and turning it into an incredible design!  After connecting the wire that exits the safe into the new keypad, inserting the battery, and entering the code the safe opened like it was supposed to!

My take away from this experience:

• Cannon Safe seems to be more concerned about their views, policies, and procedures than they are about assisting their customers.  Seems like a good way to run off customers.  I will NEVER purchase another Cannon Safe EVER!
• Cannon support DID offer to send me a new keypad and locking mechanism for free, but I had to find a locksmith and pay for him to drill the safe to install the new stuff.  Didn’t seem like a good deal then, and it certainly turned out to not be a good deal now!
• Cannon Support repeatedly reminded me that if I chose any other path than the one they were offering me, I would void my warranty.  Well IF the new keypad ordered from http://securamsys.com had not worked, I would have been forced to get a locksmith to drill the safe, and at that point I would have had him install a dial combination lock and the Cannon warranty be damned!  I must comment here that having to pay to drill a safe so it can be opened seems like the “warranty” from Cannon is not what I would expect a warranty to be.  Besides, their warranty does not cover the contents of the safe and it seems that more holes in a safe would have the potential for more loss than the path I took.  The keypad worked and for ~$75.00 I got my Son’s safe working again!

The moral of this post is this:  If you are the sad owner of a Cannon Safari safe with a dead or broken SecuRam keypad, and an inside locking mechanism, You should visit the site   http://securamsys.com and look to see if your keypad is shown in their products section, that $75.00 expenditure may be all you need to get your safe working again!

Hi guys, don't know exactly where I should post this but I figure it'll get the most hits in the Bolt Actions Forum. I've got a Cannon Safari Series Safe that has the Digital Lock. Two weeks ago for some reason it just wouldn't unlock anymore with my Pass Code. I tried everything even calling Cannon Safe and gotten a Master Code and it still wouldn't unlock. Everytime I type in the pass code it'll beep three times and then Nothing. I try again it'll go in to lockout mode. My question does anyone has a Cannon Safe that had this problem before? What other options do I have in terms of Unlock this safe? perhaps a Lock Smith? any input would be greatly appreciate it! I need to get inside before the Hunting Season if possible... Thanks guys and God Bless! Sincerely HOG.  

Sounds like someone was trying to get in there pushin buttons

This is why I only purchase safes with dials. Worse case scenario in a quality unit the tumblers wear and you turn a little further.  

Try a new battery ?  

This might help you. Take the battery out and leave for it be for an hour while you go get a fresh duracell battery. Replace and leave it sit for a few minutes after replacing. Then try it. My bet is your battery is getting weak or you're using a rayovak battery which doesn't have the juice to unlock. Duracell are the batteries with the most kick to get that lock to unlatch... Now for the bad part. This will most likely get you into your safe but the problem will persist as your lock mechanism is failing. Contact canon safe company & get a key for that lock. The key slot is behind the numerical pad. Usually canon (or whatever maker of the safe) will sell them for $25. Good luck.

Dials go bad too. I have a big dollar browning save and a pin sheared inside the lock assembly. Impossible to open. I had to get Browning to get a locksmith out to get it open. Took him over an hour. May be time for you to call a locksmith.  

It sounds like the battery is going, the safe we have at work does the same thing when the battery is going bad. The key pad will beep three times and you can't open the safe until you replace the battery.  

I got ELITE 54gun safe digital and it DID came with 2 master key or emergency key that can open safe trough behind digital keys incase digital goes bad or low batt and u.. dont all digital safe comes with key?  

I had a 30 year TreadLock safe (now owned by Granite) with a mechanical combo lock that went bad. Sad part is it took only a few minutes to cut it open with carbide hole saw to release the locking pins.  

You should have been given a set of keys with the safe? The keys will allow you to gain access just in case the digital board malfunctions. Owners manual: http://www.cannonsafe.com/media/manual_pdf/SafariOwnersManual.pdf

Three beeps on mine is a dead battery signal. It's a older Cannon.

Make sure the handle is cranked all the way clockwise as well. If I don't take the slop out and leave it counterclockwise it wont open

There is good advice here about the batteries. But I can tell you this as I work on locks for a living ( more bank vaults) but a electronic lock is more apt to fail than a mechanical is. If you want to know a fix if either type of lock has fails and need to get in to said safe pm me and I'll tell you. But you have to do this with the door open.

Is the keypad removable from the safe? If so...buy an identical keypad on eBay. Make sure they know the code. I had a friend have a keypad unit of out and he couldn't get in his safe. A new keypad was shipped to him and fixed the problem. No locksmith necessary.

Do you have the model number of your safe?  

Did you unscrew the front panel with the Phillips head screw, take out the battery and reach your fingers inside the panel push hard to remove face plate and look to see if there is a hole on the right hand side of the panel? It should have a plastic slot to put your key in there... My keys are long suckers. Not sure what lock you have exactly as there are many makers.  

My Cannon safe would NOT lock a few weeks ago. I called Cannon (sounded like scripted overseas CS) and after about 2 minutes of her not understanding English and this problem not being in her data bank I hung up. The next day it finally LOCKED. You get what you pay for I guess. 20"x40"x5' FWIW

I always suggest a manual combination lock when buying a safe. They may be slower but they always open unless you quickly rather than slowly spin the dial. i know this is no help for you now but think about the slower combination dial in your next safe or when you do get it opened just sell it.  

My Fort Knox did the same thing. They paid to have it "locksmith" opened, some kind of unusual malfunction which took the guy 4 hours of cussing and drilling to get in. They had the most certifications of anyone in my area so choose wisely for a locksmith, even the best can have trouble getting in your safe which is good to know. Hopefully Cannon will pay your expenses. I am going to have a combo lock installed though, don't trust the digitals any more, even though everyone says they are "more" reliable??

All safe companies put 125.00 pieces of shit electronic locks on their safes and it pisses me off to no extent.

I've heard of guns falling against the door and wedging it so the mechanism wouldn't work. The fix for that is to get a ratchet strap and a piece of wood. Wrap the whole safe and put the piece of wood so it pushes the door in. Then give it a shot and see if the locks throw. Sometimes you just need to take the pressure off the door and mechanism.

So I did a Detailed Examination of the Lock there's no places for a Backup Key and I seriously don't think I can take the lock apart and not break anything, at least not with my Skills. I will contact Cannon again to see what other "Advices" they have for me. Below is a link of what my Safe looks like and the Model Number of it. If nothing else I have no other choice but to call a dam smith and detroy this safe and hopefully get Cannon to cover it since it is under "Life Time Warranty" with them or so I was told...

Did you find the screw behind the sticker? Once you've unscrewed the Phillips head screw, take out the battery, & this is important... put 2 fingers inside the battery compartment and use your man hands to push the face plate forward towards you to pop off the numerical pad... Edited lol Seriously you've got to put some pressure on there as there is sometimes a bit of glue around the key pad edges where it contacts the main cylinder plastic housing.  

Call tech support and have them walk you through it in case I'm missing something. It's not that hard once you realize how it is put together.  

Watching this thread for the outcome.... I have two safes with the standard S&G lockset (mechanical) simply because electronics always fail at some point. Hopefully they left a back door to get in.

HOGTOOTH5R said: Called the "Tech Support" today again and was pretty given the Cold Shoulder. Told me if the Master Code won't work then I'm pretty much Shit out of Luck. I asked them about the so called "Life Time Warranty" and he told me to read the dam fine prints. Supposedly the Warranty only covers Fire/Water Damage or some crap in that regard. The Lock only has 1 year parts warranty which is over. Told me I should call a Locksmith to get it openned and replace the Lock while I'm at all, of course this will be on my own dime as they will not cover any of this. I've been screwed before but this one was just uncalled for. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CANNON SAFE PRODUCT PERIOD. For All Those whoes even Considering this Brand just Walk away and spend a little more and get a Peace of Mind! And No More Digital Locks Either! I'm quoted $500 for Labor and Replacement Lock. The smith will be here tomorrow to "Fix" it. I will let you guys now after it's fixed. Thanks for all the Help and Responses Guys! I really appreciate all of the Love and Support from this Forum!

If the lock is good and hosed with new battery, you could try rapping on the door with a sand filled mallet or maybe your fist with a sharp blow. Reason being some lock mechanisms may be sticking and a hard strike may free it up to open. If you have a cheap safe with thin skin steel, be sure not to do it too hard to dent the thing. If the smith comes out, make sure they can work on electronic locks and have correct gear so they don't butcher your safe. Ideally, they'll have a spare keypad they will try first as that often is the next easiest thing to do after a battery swap. Most gun safes are easy to drill open with correct tools and should not take more than 5-30 minutes tops to open. Have them replace the lock with a mechanical for better reliability.  

Shouldn't the ball bearing plate make drilling a safe pretty useless? Or is that a gimmick?  

I had this happen on a Sentry rifle safe. Sentry paid for the local locksmith to come out and check on it, and then paid the locksmith to replace the whole electronic dial mechanism. The mechanism just went out. Check if Cannon will do the same.  

Not same brand, but I had an electronic keypad fail on a gun safe with the door locked shut. Got a replacement keypad, used my old code, and it worked. Since then, I bought an extra keypad for ~$30 as a backup in case it ever happens again. What I don't remember was whether I spoke with only the safe manufacturer, or also the digital lock manufacturer. But I do remember that I had to prove that I owned the safe by faxing or mailing a copy of the original sales receipt. Basically, if the digital keypad failed, it can be replaced and your own original code can be used. And FWIW, my brother had an old style manual combination dial lock fail, and had no options except to get a locksmith. A digital electronic keypad can be user replaced in a minute or two.

I've worked in a lot of places, almost all of them required the use of a combination lock to get in them. Even today that holds true. In addition to that, are the (literally) hundreds of safes we use for storage of items. Talk about trying to remember combos (there's a reason there's a magnetic picture of a phone pad on these things; you remember code words that translate into numbers for them versus combination numbers). In all of the 20+ years now of working in these environments, I have only seen one mechanical/non-electronic tumbler combo (Sergeants & Greenleaf) fail. Fortunately, it was on an alternate entry door, so was easily replaced. The electronic locks however, I have seen fail time and time again. Once, it was on a single entrance door to an area that was previously a SAC command post headquarters (think cave, nuclear hardened, massive steel vault door, no way around it). We waited 3 days until they could get a crew in (with the right clearances) to pull the vault door (but hey, we got three days of leave free, since we couldn't get to our work). I've seen probably eight of the electronic locks just give up the ghost. No doubt, they are easier to open (hey if you miss the number, just keep going around until you hit it again), but just not worth the risk to me for my own personal safe. S&G tumbler lock for me...

Cannon Safari Gun Safe Review

Are you looking for a high capacity safe to store 24-48 rifles?

If so, you will want to check out the range of Cannon gun safes. Cannon gun safes are popular with buyers, and they have a safe for every size that you might need. If you only have 24 rifles (or less), you will want to have a look at the Cannon Safari 24 gun safe. If you have 25-36 rifles to store, the Cannon Safari 36 gun safe is the right one for you.

What if you have more guns to store away securely?

The Cannon Safari 48 gun safe has got you covered and as the name implies can hold up to 48 guns.

Since the Cannon 24 Safari gun safe, the Cannon Safari 36 gun safe, and the Cannon Safari 48 gun safe are all part of the same series, we can examine the features for each of them at the same time.

Each of these Cannon gun safes includes 30 minutes of fire protection for your guns and other valuables, and secures with locking bolts and internal hinges. Adjustable shelving allows you to rearrange the interior as you see fit. If for example you only have 30 guns to store and you purchase the 36 gun safe, you might add some internal shelving for other valuables. If however you do have 36 guns to store, you might want to remove all that shelving so you can make full vertical use of the gun safe capacity (or buy a larger safe, like the Safari 48).

Customer Reviews For Cannon Safari Gun Safes

What do Cannon gun safe reviews have to say about the Cannon Safari 24 gun safe, the Cannon Safari 36 gun safe, and the Cannon Safari 48 gun safe? These are all very highly rated Cannon gun safes, and the Cannon gun safe reviews for each of these models are overwhelmingly positive. Ranging from around $220-$1,000, any one of them is an excellent deal.

Customers praise the sturdiness and weight of the safe. They also liked the fact that the shelving is adjustable to your needs, and that you can utilize the interior space in any way that suits you. The safe can be bolted to the ground, which customers say is a bit challenging, but still not too difficult. You can change the lock battery from the outside of the safe.

Again, these are all basically the same safe; it is only the capacity which differs.

Cannon gun safes are high in quality and include an abundance of excellent features. Read Cannon gun safe reviews, and you will see how satisfied customers are with these safes. Which one should you get? It all depends on how much space you need.

Remember to account for all the items you are planning on storing in your safe, not just your rifles! If you are also going to be putting handguns and other valuables inside and utilizing the shelves, you may need a larger capacity than you think. If for example you plan on storing 32 rifles and using all the shelves, you probably should get the 48 capacity Safari gun safe and not the 36 capacity safe. Check the dimensions, do your math, and choose the best safe for you!
