Gun safe

Just an FYI. I have a Winchester 24 gun safe that I bought about 6 years ago. It has the digital key pad and 5 spoke handle. I like it and it serves me well. The handle had gotten difficult to turn when opening and closing. Yesterday, I opened it, emptied the storage on the inside of the door. I proceeded to take the inside door panel off to expose the works. I then used " Ballistol" which thanks to this forum, I discovered. Sprayed it on all working/sliding parts and it now works smooth as the lever on my Henry.
I'm sure some have probably already experienced this, but it sure made me happy.
Sorry, this topic probably should have been posted in " Around The Homestead "

sadly, there is .... I've looked at various gun safes and have concerns with technology beyond a key or combination lock .... my phobia is a failure in the keypad that would prevent me from opening the safe .... your assessment would be appreciated

Yes Jim, that has been a concern to me as well. Have yet to have a problem though. The only thing aside from a lube job has been replacing the battery, which is easily done. Pad will beep at you upon entering combo to let you know it is getting weak. I like the digital version though because it only takes about a second to open it.
