Cannon Digital Gun Safe Fail Fix! Locked Out! Don't Drill - TRY THIS FIRST!
Рет қаралды 773,692
Күн бұрынI found a good way to fix my Cannon Digital Gun safe fail. The digital keypad died and I was locked out. Fresh batteries didn't help, it was dead. But I found a way to fix it without drilling the safe! I called Cannon and they agreed to send me a new lock. They also told me I would have to get the safe drilled. I called a local safe expert who quoted me $400-$800 to drill the safe.
I would rather buy a new safe! So, I did some research and found out how to fix this without drilling the gun safe! They told me, "Don't drill, try this first" and it worked!

Jose, you are a life saver and a safe saver. I had looked on KZfaq shortly after the keypad on my Winchester safe quit working about two years ago. I didn't find anything that would help. Just recently, I looked again and found your video. On your recommendation, I went directly to eBay and purchased one of the 5715SC keypads. It arrived today, June 18, 2024 and I was beside myself trying to get it installed. In a word, Perfect. Thank you, Jose!!

For the last few years I had been having problems opening my Cannon Safe and I had been playing with the idea of contacting a lock smith to come fix my safe. I viewed your video several times and then I went ahead and took off the key pad on my safe and checked the internal wiring, and found that it looked just as the one in your old key pad. I went ahead an ordered a new key pad, the LaGard 5715SC through Ebay, the Kingman Security Group in Upland, Ca., and it arrived within two days. I installed the new key pad as you instructed and it works like a charm. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, you saved me some big bucks, Thanks Again!!

As a locksmith with 25+ years of experience I have some points to make on this video 1) always try replacing the battery first (this is about 3/4 of my service calls when the safe "is dead") 2) inspect the cable to make sure it is not pinched causing a short 3) after these 2 are addressed, try the keypad replacement but if you have made it to here, that only works about 15% of the time (it's usually the internal chip in the lock body that has failed) 4) after you penetrate a container door, it take a lot more than just a screwdriver in the hole to open it. 5) electronic locks and mechanical locks have different drill points, and if you have to penetrate an electronic lock, it will need to be replaced so even the new one would have to be destroyed in order to open it through that hole. 6) any safe technician worth their salt will plug any penetration points put into the container, and generally it is harder to penetrate that same location again if any attention to drill resistance was accounted for in the repair process.

I am not a locksmith. I do have some knowledge of electronics. I'm very surprised to hear it's most often the chip that fails. In my experience chip failure is the least common point . #1 is of course power. #2 operator error / misuse. #3 parts / hardware interface (wear, breaks, shorts due to movement &fatigue. A battery powered circuit inside what is effectively a Faraday cage is the least failure prone part.

@MaryonsLocksmithsCoLLC Жыл бұрын
@@JoeSmith-cy9wj Reply to an old comment, but: You're right on that list of likely issues, but there's a bias here and that's what people call locksmiths for. Most people who use safes everyday become comfortable with popping the cover off to replace batteries. Operator issues are super uncommon (because the owner usually operates the safe all the time), especially with keypads, and can be diagnosed over the phone. So then we only get called to a safe job when there is a legit hardware failure. In my experience it's a little more likely that a button on the pad failed than a lock body component, but it still happens more than you think.

Once the door is open it's best to replace the lock as that is often a point of failure. Once the door is open NEVER close it again with thoroughly testing the lock with the door upon. Replacing the lock itself is pretty straightforward. Life saving tip: Photograph everything before taking it apart. You may need to refer to the photo.

I have been through the same thing when my keypad died. It would have been easier if I could have watched this video beforehand. I was able to open my safe and turned the locking bars open to prevent total failure. Cannon was helpful with the replacement, but I had to take the inside panel off to get to the mechanism. Good to know an easier way now. I also had to replace another dial lock failure on my late father's safe and the previous experience helped, as the company (Liberty) sent a keypad to replace the dial.

Before you just plug in the cable, make sure that the wire colors are the same on the new/old cable. Companies very rarely change what colors they use for different signals on wires, but the guy who designed the new circuit board might have swapped signal positions to the connector. There's a really high likelihood they included the cable that goes through the door specifically because they haven't always maintained the same pinout on the keypad side. If they swapped power and ground, you guarantee the need to drill if you hook it up without checking 'cuz you'll let the magic smoke out _inside_ the safe. A four-wire serial connection like that is either Power (Red), Ground (Black), Data In, Data Out or Power (Red), Ground (Black), Data, Clock. If power/ground were not swapped but the data lines were, it has very low likelihood of doing damage, but it just won't open. As a serious technophile, I can't bring myself to trust an electronic lock on my gun safe. As you said, you waited five weeks before you went to eBay. Since I learned locksport, I'll never trust a keyed lock. The round locks might _look_ more secure, but trust me, they're not! Old-fashioned rotary combination is the only lock I trust on my safe. Yes, they can fail too, but the only time I've heard of it actually happening is because of gross abuse or neglect.

I have the same cannon. In 2017 my pad failed as well. Unfortunately my search only revealed a lock company that charged me 335.00 for a replacement pad. But it did save drilling it. My safe was the same safe except a little bigger. It worked. The sad part is that the original key pad lock only had a poorly soldiered connection.

It sounds like you got off lightly at $335. At least you did not have to have it drilled.

When you ask how easy it is to get anything fixed, you will ALWAYS be told it's not worth it. Screwing is the name of the game.

Good info only if you have a faulty keypad. New keypad upgrades only work with the specific lock . And if a safe drill is needed a locksmith should & could put another style so the drill hole does not compromise the safe security integrity. But yes your basic keypad are interchangeable. Good job Diagnosing

I can understand the local safe company telling you to drill it, but surely Cannon themselves would know your way works!
@ExtremeDIYGuy 3 жыл бұрын
One would assume so. The person I spoke to at Cannon was a customer service person, not tech support. they got the serial number, told me the locks were on back order and that it should ship out within a week. They also told me that the safe needed to be drilled and gave me the information to give the locksmith so they could call cannon and get the information on exactly where to drill. I'm not making this up. One other thing to consider is that they don't manufacture the lock sets themselves. They use LaGard locks. Still you make a good point. When I called the second time to ask if the lock set had been shipped, I explained exactly what I planned to do. The customer service rep wasn't receptive to the idea that it would work but was apologetic about the delay in shipping. Maybe I should call back and talk to the technical support folks and ask why customer service is advising customers to drill.

U got lucky. FYI Electronic locks can often be opened with a large rare earth magnet in about 15 seconds. I never buy a safe that doesnt use a S&G type 2 or better manual dial lock. To each his own. But I am glad u got urs open. Goes to show you don't always believe what so called experts tell you. I would have done exactly what you did. Research and give it a try. Good job.

As others have said when replacing a lock always try and do with the door open. Throw the detent so it locks open. When removing the old lock watch out for relockers. Always put it back the same way or you will wind up drilling it. Newer lock models like securam have the lock and face mated. So you can’t just walk around with a face and open safes.
@ExtremeDIYGuy Жыл бұрын
The relocker on the replacement mechanism was a PIA for this safe. But at least I got it to work correctly.

I've been a locksmith for 20 years, key pads go bad ALL THE TIME! I highly recomend an S&G DIAL. or if you HAVE to have a keypad, go with S&G. (Sargent and Greenleaf) LaGuard dials and pads are POO!

How do you find out what’s compatible with your safe, as in compared to the 5715 LaGard. My original LaGard key pad is at least 20 yrs old and made of solid heavy duty copper and much heavier battery wires. They sure went to hades! Cant find anything that’s not cheep plastic!!
