My neighbor has a digital Winchester branded gun safe, and recently locked out of it. Customer service gave no service..."it is out of warranty, we cannot help you, call a locksmith."
He contacted a local gun safe seller, and he recommended a good guy that took care of him, but he had to drill out the controls to get it opened. $300.00
I guess that the ribbon cable ran through a hole in the back side of the door, and the metal had no sort of trim or moulding on the metal. He said he had only opened the safe a couple of times, but that was enough to put a tiny nick in one end of the cable disabling the unit.
If you have one configured like that you might want to make a trip to the hardware store.
It is a shame that a manufacturer couldn't part with the 25 cents to prevent this.
