A friend that used to own Macon Gun and Pawn showed me a big double door safe he got from a jewelry store called a Tann. Now this was in the 90s. The locking surface area had a plate covering the edge and deep inside the body of the safe there were thin wires holding metal pins at the hinge points. That way if anyone tried to torch the hinges these hardened pins would drop down into the hinge points making it all but impossible to get it open that way.I've had problems with safes, and all they've ever done is send me a new lock.
But you want us to believe that you called in, told them you had a problem with your safe, and they just provided you with the back door code...
Yes sir! I have always sent in a warranty card and kept the safe seriel and model number written down and kept in my paperwork. Had it do on three of the four safes I have owned. I was informed that all safes have a back up entry code or combination so the safe is not rendered useless forever. The seriel number is located inside the safe so if they ask you the number they know you have seen it had it open previously. I thought it would be a bigger hassle than it was but I had no problem getting that info. I was really surprised at how easy it was. I got asked a few questions. One being where I purchased the safe from. That is the key question. Each seriel number is recorded to what dealer originally acquired that safe to sell.I've had problems with safes, and all they've ever done is send me a new lock.

Well on the on the digital keyboards there's a red button on the inside of the door that you press and you can enter in the key code of your choice. But if the battery to that digital combination runs out it will store the combination for a little bit of time but after a while it will lose it. That's when you call the dealer and they can give you a backup code to enter in the safe. I even lost the keys to one safe where it has a digital code but the little computer mechanism computer chip went bad so I couldn't enter in the code to open it or use their master code. My other my only other option was to use the key that you access by turning that digital keypad counterclockwise and pulling it out and then you can access the key hole. The problem with that was is I had almost $20,000 worth of guns in that safe and when I moved the keys got lost. However, I did still have my paperwork which I had the receipt to the safe and I had written down all the information about the safe on a piece of paper and have it in the file with my receipt and all that. I gave the company the serial and model number of the safe and they sent me a key to enter in the safe with. Then I was able to gain access to the red button and reset the cheat code for the digital pad. It took a week or two to get everything back to normal but that's just because it took a while for the key to come through shipping. The company didn't charge me a dime they just said glad we can help and I thank them and that was it.
