I bet we learn he entered the same combination only using the new keypad.
This kinda bothers me. If a,l you had to do was pull your old safe and put the new key pad on, I wonder if one pulled from another safe and put on that one, with any code, would activate the lock? Hopefully there is more to it than that.pcernuch wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2020 4:45 pm well, the UPS man showed up yesterday with my new keypad, unhook and reconnect and we are back in business!! Also, i tried about 5 or 6 9v batteries to make sure that wasn't my issue.
Sidenote: still no answer at the given #'s for Winchester, followed their instructions and they never returned my email either. I would not recommend Winchester Safe or Granite Security out of Mansfield to my worst enemy.
god bless.
