Cannon Safes

Do you know what brand the keypad is? That was an interesting read that 2MM posted up. My safe is a Bighorn from Costco.

Look toward the middle of the page for this:

LaGard electronic locks all come from the assembly line set to 1-2-3-4-5-6. Most safe companies (Granite-Winchester is one) leave it at that, and either the retailer or the end user must reset it. My local Walmart store had those same Winchester safes on display, and one day I was in the sporting goods section near the safe display, and another customer asked the Walmart employee if she could open the safe so he could look inside. She said “no, sorry, I don’t have the combination handy”. I walked over, never said a word… just punched in 1-2-3-4-5-6, turned the handle opening the door, and walked away… again not saying a word. They both just looked at me… dumbfounded that I could open it like that.

Thanks 2MM, this confirms mine has LaGard mechanism. I guess I should change the combination from the default setting now.

Changed the lock mech and keypad. They don't tell you there are 2 little pesky screws under the stick on old keypad. Other than that it wasn't bad at all. And Cannon sent the pad & mech free of charge.

That's how companies maintain repeat customers and happy customers spreading good will.

Yup. Went to a local western/outdoors store a few months ago. They must have had 30 or so safes and the 6 or 8 I checked they ALL opened with 1 2 3 4 5 6.

remember the story about the kid getting locked in a safe at one of the stores??? I bet it could have been opened the same way if someone was on the ball...
