Replace it now! Check Your Gun Safe Batteries
Already, we’re in Q2 of 2024. Hey guys, when was the last replacement of the batteries in your safe? It’s been over a year. It’s probably time to replace the battery in your safe. If you wait too long, the lock system may lose its memory and the electronic keypad will not work. Important: Replace the battery in your electronic keypad safe every year. This is a precautionary measure. You don’t want the keypad memory to be kaput in a few month’s time and you being locked out. This can lead to frustration, and even an expensive locksmith visit. This is a true tale. I have a safe with a Sargent & Greenleaf keypad. In early December of a couple of years ago, I tried to open the safe. I entered the correct combination but I only heard a rapid “beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep”. I tried again, to make sure I had entered the correct combination (which I did). The locking system responded again with multiple rapid beeps, indicating that something was wrong. The safe would not open. Now I was worried …. I removed the battery holder from the housing of the keypad on the door (which slides into place from the bottom). I removed the battery, and tested it using a voltmeter. The Duracell 9 volt battery was 12 months old and only registered 6.1 voltage. The problem was low voltage. I went to the store and bought a couple of new 9V batteries. I tested the batteries and they both measured 9.4 voltage output. I inserted one of the 9V batteries in the keypad housing and punched in the combination. Everything worked again. Eureka. Most electronic locks will “remember” your combination for a certain period of time, even if the battery is low. (The keypad’s “brain”, which stores the combination, should also retain it when you replace the battery. A dead battery or prolonged periods of low voltage may cause problems. Do not rely on wishful thoughts…
