But, at the same time, you're telling me that all I have to do to open someone else's electronic combo gun safe is just take my own keypad with my own combination with me, unplug yours and plug in mine?

hi there, i should have been more clear. as the other gent stated, it was just the keypad that was bad. MY code was stored interally in the safe in the actual lock. so since the sending device(keypad) was bad i just needed a new one. i wired the new up and i entered my same old code and was back inside!!

god bless.

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.

Hi there! Will do. Still no email back from Winchester safe and they 100% DO NOT Answer the phone. I’ve researched exhaustively and decided my first course of action will be to replace the known to fail keypad. I ordered one online from a place in KY, I felt great about it as when I called and spoke to the gent he was basically finishing my sentences for me describing what the safe/keypad was doing. It should be here this weekend, I’ll update once it arrives.

God bless.

Excellent!! That is also exactly what the gent at Bass Pro told me this weekend. Thank you.

God bless.

Good afternoon gents,

So I have a Winchester safe and after much research I believe the LaGard 3710 keypad has given up the ghost. I enter my code, (same code for 10+ years) I get the 2 beeps that it accepts the code, but when I turn the handle it will not open. The Winchester customer service is less than stellar(I’m also impatient as I can’t get in my safe) but no one answers the phone, they want everything done via email. I’d like this solved faster if at all possible. Anyone here a locksmith with a Lagard keypad laying around? From my readings I can just swap on a good keypad and it will open. Thanks so much for any and all suggestions.

God bless.
