New keypad is installed on the safe,,
Got my new keypad in the mail today,and got it installed on the safe. The new one even has a light option to light up the numbers. Learned that the combo is retained in the lock itself,not the keypad. Didn't need to change the combo, went ahead and did any way.
Customer service from L P Locks was very good through out this entire transaction.

you found Albertson's. You were pulling in as we were pulling out.
Take it you made it home O.K.?0 -
We made it home without incident, in decent time and the windmill intact!
Good luck with your safe. I still prefer my antique dial lock on my old double door safe.
I have little faith in the electronic-digital stuff. My brain goes numb whenever I am asked for a friggin password and it
fails to work..... makes me want to chop down an APPLE tree!0 -
Glad you's and the wind mill made it. Yeah,when it comes to the high tech stuff,I have ten grandkids to turn to,,, 0 -
I would have a very difficult time trying to calculate the number of times I have changed the numbers on combination locks. I used to change them annually on all of the locking devices (average three or four) in the National Guard armories in Southwest Iowa - back in the day. I would also do routine maintenance - as needed - on the lock.
I prefer mechanical locks. You can fix them and/or maintain them. In truth, there were no electronic locks on any of the containers.
When it was time for our American Legion post to purchase a new safe for our new garands, I recommended the mechanical lock over the electronic lock. Recommendation approved. "Go get the safe". We needed a pretty fair sized one to hold all of the rifles.
Sure, off to the dealer and haul that sucker back to the building. Unload it and move it down the stairs and into position. Unpack it and set it where it will live.
First things first, change the combination to some numbers members (as necessary) can remember them. Instructions say "You can't change the numbers." Sure - watch this.
You have gotta be kidding me!!! You can't "choose" the numbers you want. Who ever heard of such a thing? Sargent and Greenleaf, if I remember correctly. Pack it up and move it out.
Hauled it back to the dealer. "I want a safe I can choose the numbers." "I don't think you can do that with this model." "You are correct. Give me the other model."
Load up the new one with the electronic lock (same price). Haul that sucker back to the building. Unload it and move it down the stairs into position. Unpack it and set it where it will live. (Notice a pattern here?)
Change combo. Everybody is happy - except me and my back. The safe sets between the one owned by the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War and the Color Guard. From time-to-time I have to remember how to operate the danged lock, but at least I can change it.
I have this "thing" with safes. I even built one in my woodworking shop.0 -

Well . . . it is double walled.
I put some marbles between the walls, so they will make noise when you move it. That is kind of an "alarm system".0 -

Do you have any idea how much a bag of wooden nickels is worth?
Me either. :?
Just to be on the safe side (see what I did there?), I keep them in my walk-in vault - right beside my piles of three dollar bills.0 -
