Replacing the keypad on a gun safe?
« on: September 22, 2025, 09:29:16 AM »
Anyone done this yet?  I have an older Bighorn gun safe and the keypad has quit working on some of the #'s. Has anyone replaced there keypad with an aftermarket pad? Did it work? The reason I ask is, the range in prices for a replacement, run from $50-300. Why buy a 300$ one, when a 50$ will work just fine.  Thanks in advance......

I'm a dial guy, but for electronic, SecuRam seems to be on the better safes.

Then it's a matter of features.  Most of us don't need multiple codes and date stamps.

I recently went through this with a keypad that completely died.  I had NW safe's install and new key pad and a new locking mechanism for about $450.  You could probably get away with a cheap one but if it ends up malfunctioning or locking you out you then have that do deal with.
