    Electronic gun safe won’t let me in...

    Battery is good. Put in 2 others to make sure but all 3 batteries read 9V. Get 3 beeps after entering the code which means it doesn’t recognize my code.
    Paper work with serial number is apparently inside as it’s not in my other safe and w/o it Winchester probably can’t help...

    So either a locksmith or a crackhead. I’ll see which one is cheaper tomorrow.

          Check the battery date it need to be dated 5 years out abd dont use a lithium battery.

              I didn’t check the date but it’s ready 9V with a digital Fluke multimeter.

                    I felt compelled to pass this info along to others that may own this safe . . .
