Cannon safe from tractor supply

Cannon safe quality control?

[@SF-ku2hp]

My key pad bit the dust could not open it. Locksmith estimated $200 or so. I got a $12 Milwaukee drill bit had to drill a few holes to find the solenoid. But once I found where to drill had my safe open in less than 30 seconds only 12 gauge steel.

[@mrelectron6220]

Well I agree the interior looks nice and nice idea for the usb and ethernet port, but man that door scares me. No backing on the fire barrier like another layer of steel to protect the locking system from drilling. Also the mechanism for the bolt locks looks flimsy. I was thinking about one I saw at TSC but I think I'll keep looking.

[@GluteusMax777]

Reading most these comments people think they can keep a thief out of a safe? The only way to NOT be able to drill through a safe is to make the safe body harder than a drill bit. That's expensive and very heavy. A twelve gun safe would probably weigh 1200 pounds. Most floors couldn't support this weight in such a small footprint. Enter an acetylene torch and all bets are off.

[@rpmtechtv]

yeah actually they came out and replaced it for me. Whole new safe. I haven't been checking my youtube account for comments so I apologize for taking so long to reply to this thread.

[@christopherfisher1694]

Cannon support is awesome, They replaced my safe just because the paint had some issues in a few placed. I would TOTALLY buy another!

[@TheTigero]

Does the fact that it was damaged, and you were able to bend it back, not demonstrate that it’s a pretty weak safe?

[@rpmtechtv]

absolute piece of junk. might work well for storing some old tax returns in. I had to use a plasma cutter, took 45 seconds to cut the side off to get it open. its made from tin. lol. this is old video

[@RayBlack321]

@@rpmtechtv a plasma cutter or oxy acetylene will burn thru 99%. It’s not a bad gun safe but it’s not the Rolex of them either. It’s just a run of the mill safe.

[@0girle]

You're very lucky they're shipped from overseas on their back and usually that fire board is broken and sometimes even is fixed we throw bolts with opening sometimes weeks and months later when the user slams the door.

[@dougmacqueen1679]

Some of the Cannon safes can be retrofitted with a mechanical dial lock without major surgery. This is one of those safes. There is always the trade-off of the reliability of a decent mechanical lock and the quickness of a electronic lock. There are also key operated locks that can be had, but now you have to hide the key. Also are the redundant either / or electronic/dial comb locks which give you back up if the elock fails. Under stress some would have difficulty dialing a comb but if you are using it often this is not likely. So when you buy a cheaper gun safe you may want to find out if a standard dial lock can be retrofitted.

[@SC-dw3jz]

They all come with backup keys u insert behind the dial face amazing how many retards have destroyed their safe bc they either forgot or who knows but any locksmith could open it up with a set of skeleton keys.

[@lockedout2016]

While you’re waiting 7 to 10 business days for your replacement keypad and lock and looking up locksmiths, try disconnecting the 9V battery and reconnect, push the clear button and then enter the code. No guarantee but after several days of fooling around it now works every time! But I’ve taken it off and it’s going on the shop door where there’s another door when it fails the next time lol!

[@MrMd5555]

I've been looking at the cannon 80 gun safe at tractor supply mainly because of the price and storage space, I've been looking at the liberty fatboy jr. 48 for a year or two, my gut tells me to go with liberty,but that big ass cannon 80 sure leaves me lots of room for additions to my expanding collection for only $1000 vs $1499 for the 48 gun liberty!

[@onpoint1977]

300 blAKout get the liberty

[@jerryrobinson5163]

I had already bought a cannon safe at Tractor supply and hadn't picked It up yet after a little research I decided against it instead opted for a Winchester. I saw that the cannon workmanship and quality was lacking in comparison to the Winchester .

[@anthonyogeen3222]

I have the same on handle pulled out cant be opend

[@aaaaa1957]

Can I ask you, how did you take the door panel off. I want to perform maintenance on a couple of safes and I don’t want to mess up the panel’s taking them off. I tried calling a locksmith but in my area they are all foreigners that work out of their vehicles, everyone of them lied that they work out of a brick and mortar but when pushed for an address they admitted they didn’t have one. Now after a couple of hours trying to find a trustworthy locksmith I don’t trust anyone.

[@appleztooranges]

How much you pay for this safe? I’m looking for something under $500. Looking at the Winchester 26 gun safe. This is nice though

[@rpmtechtv]

Hey I've had it for about 5 years I cut it on sale I think it was 649 at tractor supply. For the money it's been fine I just recently bought a 26 gun Winchester from there to put my ammo in and I like it a lot I got it on sale for $349.

[@appleztooranges]

rpmtechtv wow. I was going to get the 26 gun one for $449. Usually goes on sale once a month. Just trying to figure out how to move it lol

[@rpmtechtv]

they acted like i must have done it. what's funny is the manager at TS saw the door frame dent. I asked for 50 bucks off he laughed at me.

[@jasonkimmel3061]

So you knew it was damaged before you bought it? Just use some fire caulk to repair the drywall.

[@stevedrawdy2532]

How do you remove the panel on the door?

[@rpmtechtv]

Just grab some of the attached pouches and lift straight up and out. It's basically just a big piece 3 quarter inch drywall.

[@stevedrawdy2532]

@@rpmtechtv mine didn't come with the door pouches but I'll give it a try later. Thanks for the reply!

[@060blade]

You need to open the door, lock the lugs, then you can pull it up and the bottom should be able to kick out. Repeat in reverse to reinstall.

[@G--T]

Any word from customer support?

[@jew_world_order]

I guess not, he's probably still mad since he didn't respond

[@acf142]

hey man I hope you got a replacement safe because you just showed every person on KZbin the factory code to get into your safe.... I found mine because I moved and the door panel came off I emailed cannon about my concern about not even knowing it was there but haven't heard anything back

[@SlavicCinnamonRollie556]

any response?

[@leroybrown9828]

brother just wait 2 years until the keyboard goes bad and you can't get into the damn thing it happened to me twice they are junk

[@rpmtechtv]

Lee Kitzmiller quick question for you what's the alternative with like a mechanical lock to replace the electronics lock on it?

[@dunnoyolo2238]

That's bad when you have electronic issues and get locked out of Safe in emergency. could cost you your life

[@charlesgentz8406]

mine locked up, cannon wouldnt send parts to fix, say they no longer use securam locks. Lifetime Warranty is a Joke!

[@mandovapehater6988]

Your bad luck is just starting ole buddy. Go ahead and have em send you a locksmith with a new locking device. Preferably a dial type. Mine quit after about 4 years. It will cost me what I paid for the safe to fix it now that it's out of warranty.

[@EddieBlueHalen]

I’d be more worried about the thin steel and weak looking locking mechanism.

[@rpmtechtv]

I agree this video was many years old. I use it for a storage cabinet in my shop now and keep all my machining bits and fixtures in it. I disabled the lock.

[@d10dozerman2]

I would be more concerned with the chintzy ass locking mechanism inside the door. Doesn't look very strong

[@byronnlangley]

Everyone talks bad about electric locks, I have seen mechanical locks fail. A Remington failed and they had to take the safe back to the factory with all the customers stuff in it. Nothing is 100 percent

[@johnpower8356]

Superficial irrelevant bang

[@matthewblankenship7968]

Looks like a hammer to me lol

[@philchase2619]

These cannon safes are just JUNK. Do not waste you money on one of these.Check out Lee Kitzmiller's comment. the same thing happened to my safe and I had to wait for 7 full business days to get a replacement keypad. So while you are waiting for the replacement keypad you will not be able to open it ! Plus, you get to pay a locksmith to open it and install the key pad, twice.

[@TBagr]

That’s what you get for buying from Tractor Supply

[@rpmtechtv]

Absolutely correct it wasn't even worth the tannerite that I blew it up with. Old old video man

[@thecodeofvigilance1624]

Sounds like you’re gonna cry? You all right bro? Did Cannon give you a refund?

[@mandovapehater6988]

And I wouldn't worry about that little boo boo on the inside. Any safe that me and you can afford are just big ovens anyway in a fire. Hopefully we'll never find out.

[@jsimpson8018]

Seriously, You buy a safe from Tractor Supply and expect first quality? Factory seconds at best. You get what you pay for.

[@rpmtechtv]

I think I got that thing about 10 years ago and I didn't expect anything except for a big ten bucks that I can put stuff in that looked fairly nice. Rather than throwing my rifles on the sofa. I've been through two of them now. But now the one they sell that's just like this is twice the price of what I paid and 300 lb lighter. I'm still glad I got the damn thing even though it's a piece of crap.

[@perryjones2569]

Cannon customer service is not worth a crap

[@MC-uj4co]

made in Mexico

[@frank-gf5vh]

M C I got 3 tsc cannons all made in china

[@james23p]

My Cannon also says made in Mexico which honestly I prefer to China.

[@congoparrot]

Cannon safes are made in Mexico with thin steel. pure crap

[@rpmtechtv]

Yep. This video was 10 years ago. That thing is basically a tin storage locker. Lesson learned

[@brianwaters8362]

Made in Mexico

[@rpmtechtv]

I think it's made in Bulgaria or China. This video was cut years ago. I threw the son of a b**** out in the yard and planted a bunch of flowers in it.

[@james23p]

Yes mine I just got says made in Mexico
