    Default Anybody have a Bighorn safe with electronic keypad?

    Costly ending to this story on page 2.

    UPDATE: I ordered a replacement keypad today. The tech at Rhino strongly suggested not trying to use a different brand or model keypad because it could damage the interior portion of the lock...if not already dead. I won't know if it was only the keypad that failed until the replacement arrives in about 5 day.

    Thanks to all that offered assistance in trying to figure out other options. We have some very generous members here on poofa.


    My keypad took a shit tonight. I need to borrow/rent a keypad so that I able to open the safe. Willing to pick it up and return it roughly 5 minutes longer than the actual travel time to/from...with some ammo thrown in as a rental fee.

    I understand that this is a very unusual request, but my options are limited to get it open right now. I am fine with the keypad being brought here if you are concerned with the idea of giving a complete stranger the keypad to your own safe...and honestly, who wouldn't be. Willing to pay gas and mileage, PLUS ammo just to use a functional keypad 1x to get it open.

    Googled Strongstown and the map showed Rt 422 Ben Franklin Hwy. For about 3 seconds I was happy because I live about 1/3 of a mile from 422...until I zoomed out and realized just how far it is from here.
    I really appreciate the offer, but that is just too far even if you were generous enough to drive halfway 2x. Appreciative rep sent.

    There is no bypass key or other feature to allow entry in case of keypad failure?

    No, unfortunately not. Lesson learned with electronic locks, never again. I will eventually swap it out for a dial but not right now.
