Gun Safe Lockout

[jmm03]

Pete, how did you finally make out with your safe issue? (p.s., any pictures of recent stonework?) Jim

I was wondering about that myself.

Doing it now! Will copy. PD

Pete, only two may have asked but rest assured they weren't the only ones wondering how you handled it.

[Pete Davis]

OK

Locksmith came. We had to drill twice and got in.
Replaced the keypad with a dial lock. I'm trained on it now. It has a key if i want to lock the dial.

Overall it cost me some money. About what an '03 cost in 1995.

Pete - Glad you hired a locksmith. Fixing your safe or buying another one. It was going to cost you either way. I never could see how a digital lock was an improvement over the old reliable dial lock that's been around for so long.

Ohhh....don't rub it in Merc. I think Pete learned the hard way. Sooner or later we get that instinctive suspicion that the latest improvement isn't always "better". At least it worked out for you Pete. Good!
I have friends who simply cannot fathom how I can get through life without the latest cell phone and a car that starts without a chip. I tell them I'm happy to have a flush toilet....which doesn't need batteries.

JB - I hope I didn't rub it in. Pete did exactly what I would have done. I've learned the hard way too many times.
