    I have figured out how to make a electrical and mechanical backup using the OEM lock. So I am covered in the event of internal failure....These safes only slow down entry..I can be inside in five minutes with a Sawzall and high speed blade. Of course I figured out how to do this after buying a mechanical lock, $100 plus and Win sent me a complete lock including keypad...

    Installed 5715. Able to open safe. Changed code to not use numbers more than once. All is good for now. Thanks for the pointers Bionic.

    How hard is it to remove the door organizer to get to the mechanical bits in the door?

    I am confident in replacing the lock and keypad with the hopefully better SG equivalents thanks to BIONIC and Phil at MBA USA, but I wonder if its just a few screws or a mess of glue, etc to take the door line off. Thanks!
    Here is a great video. This is what I am going to do with and when I can get into my safe. Put a mechanical lock on it. This guy has great vids for working on safes. He uses a Winchester 24 gun safe as demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC7i815Dde8&t=28s

    Yeah, I saw that one but the door liner is already off when he starts. I ordered the S&G keypad and lock as an upgrade on Phil's advice and hopefully I can get to it this holiday weekend.

    On my safe you just lift up on the front panel and it comes up a little and lifts off.

    Electrical safes I don’t trust. But I’ve got trust issues so maybe I’m not the best here. Just saying electric is not always best

    I have a Winchester Gun Safe, 26 Gun, TS26-45 from Tractor Supply. Had to replace the cheap keypad once after it fail 6 weeks after purchase. Winchester sent me the "new" one. Less than a year later I am back in the same boat. The model i see in the thread, is that a pretty much universal fit for winchester safes?

    I have a TS 19-11 that won*t open. It beeps once after first button and twice after every other button. I*ve replaced the battery several times. Any help would be much appreciated. Thx
