Bionic Man - this is the same lock package that I have on my safe - did you guys ever figure out a replacement for this one?
Reference Post #124 in this thread.
Thanks!
BionicMan, This is my first post. I have searched the internet and it lead me to this post. I am locked out of my Winchester gun safe and am freaking out. Can you please help me. My safe is approx. 7-8 years old. I seem to be having the same problems as everyone else. If I can get back into my safe, I'll order the new 5715 keypad. Also, any help with the install would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I have 2 of these safes. I have both serial numbers but where is the Model # located? The ones on tractor supply now look the same but they call it 26 gun not 24 gun. Also the new ones have an emergency key open. I need the model # of the older ones. Thanks
I see TSC has the new model "26" gun safe on sale for Black Friday. Having under bought with my original TSC Winchester (2012) and inheriting my fathers stuff, I am officially out of room. I am tempted to add another one.
How do the new ones compare? Can they still be retrofitted with a decent lock? Does anyone know where they are made? My local TSC doesn't carry them anymore so I can't just go look.
Thanks
I bought a new one maybe 8 months ago just as an ammo safe. It's made in China and overall of lower quality than the ~2012 models. It's about 150 pounds lighter, fit and finish isn't as good, and it has far less and far smaller locking bolts. (8 bolts / 4 active vs 12 bolts / 7 active) That being said, the highlight of the safe so far has been the LP-Lock NL Premier keypad. So far, it seems to be more robust and of better quality than the LaGard components on previous generations. I think it's perfectly fine for ammo storage, but I wouldn't use it to protect anything super valuable. Hopefully that info helps!
I have read through this and have been unable to find a couple of things. They might be right in front of me but I'm not seeing it.
My safe is a Cannon and keypad is NL and is starting to act up. Keypad mounting holes are at 3 and 9. Do I just need a keypad or do I need both keypad and lock? The 5715 keypad looks like mounting holes are at 12 and 6. I read Parrisk's post on page 11 and will call Cannon and see if they will send me newer and better version.
https://mbausa.com/ has the replacement locks and knows what you will need. Very Helpful.
