How long have you had the safe? In other words, how much use has the key pad seen?

3-4 yrs now, its seen quite a bit, and never replaced battery before. SO fingers crossed on that one.

My dad has Winchester and when it screwed up he called the manufacturer and they sent out a new key pad for free.

i jsut replaced the 9v on mine. it was telling me it was dying. after entering the code and opening the door it would beep like 10 times, i assumed that it meant the battery was dying swapped it out and the beeping stopped so i guess that was it. best of luck.

god bless.

Ok big relief it was the battery. I guess it had enough juice to operate the key pad normally with no warning beeps, but not enough to move the solenoid.

99% of the time its just that. Good deal. I was gonna suggest a credit card.

While you have it open you need to check the screws that mount the back board on the door. They have a known problem of the screws going in too deep and stopping the bolts from retracting.......i learned that the hard way. They drilled some screws in just the right spot over the bolts. I had mine for years...opened it a thousand times....then one day beep soleniod click....no release. It was a mess but i finally got it open. Smart enough to check it with the door open and bolts would not retract again....found 1 screw barley hanging on the inside of a bolt.....no open. Took the screw out 1 turn and never another problem. I talked to Winchester and they said....O YEAH..THAT HAPPENS. NICE
