My protector gun safe won't lock
I just took mine apart and there’s a little coil that pulls the locking pin down to allow the mechanism to be turned. The pun is returned by a small spring that in this case is no longer strong enough to do it’s job. Thus a gun safe worth about $700 is rendered inoperative by a 25 cent spring.

Today I have repaired an AC adapter which 12 volts and 5 amps, the user first wanted his system box at the garbage place I know that the little system usually nothing wrong degree but the food is glued shut, but 99% of all cases it is internal to these power adapters there are usually two broken capacitors, it is precisely because these surveillance systems are often 24 hours a day to stand. the capacitor capacitance no automatic self-healing cap form one of them was leaking and the other was topped convex. The plastic house can be opened with a bench hammer on the glued seam around rapping and then you can usually afterwards the affair glue with superglue. expenses was less than 2 euros a number of capacitors bought at a dump is very convenient.

Replace elctronic key pad fr tumbler lock
Unfortunately most safes cannot be converted from an electronic keypad to a dial lock. Those that can be are specific to the type of lock i.e. type 1, type 2 etcetera. I had the same problem with my safe where the keypad would accept the code but not open the lock so I had to use the key. I contacted the manufacturer and found that the circuit board was faulty and they sent me a new improved version for free. Your safe has a five year warranty and even if the warranty has expired I would contact First Alert to see if they can remedy your dilemma. They would also be able to advise you if your keypad can be converted to a dial lock. If it can be converted I would recommend having it installed by a certified locksmith that guarantees their work.
