So I have a 10 gun security cabinet from stack-on. I have lost the keys. Is there anything I can do outside of getting a crowbar and destroying the whole cabinet? Not having access to my guns right now is kinda driving me nuts.
I have one of those. Based on how mine is built I would recommend getting a butter knife and gently pushing it through the metal then open from the inside. You can open it with a basic lock pick. I had to do it to mine when I left my key in my wife's car and she was out.
I lost my key, but ordered a new one, should be a code somewhere. I just ended up changing the cam with a high end one from Medeco. Only the override key though.
funny thing is if you posted the key number i bet %20 of people here have the same key. I bought 3 stack on cabinets from 3 different places and 2 have the same key and the third is the same key as my friends.
That easykey.com website didn't list stack-on as a brand under their locks. Fail. I called stack-on customer service, they will send me a replacement key, after I fill out a form and send them a notarized copy along with photo identification. If I wasn't going through a divorce and having all my money taken from me, I'd just crowbar the thing and buy a new one. I might do that anyway
I deleted that number from my post, although I'm sure these cheap less than $100 safes probably use the same key for all the models. The woman from customer service said they have tons of keys pre-made, so that just further solidifies my theory. If a mod could delete it anyway it might be appreciated, although I assume my random screen name here doesn't give out too much info about where I actually live...
C'mon man. You're concerned that the key # to your Stack On Cabinet is out there. It would take less time to pry it with a crow bar or put a fire axe through the side. We're talking about a stack on here!!! A stack-on...cabinet!!!
(well, it's ok for keeping something from the kiddies.) And btw this is why the left side and the pin side should be flush against a wall (preferably concrete) and bolted down. Ideally in a corner with another mass obstruction on the other side as well.
Most people (other than Pate) don't realize how easy it is to bust open most RSCs.
Yeah and that safe in that video has a much heftier lock than mine does. I'm sure I could bust into it in like 2 minutes, I'm just trying to keep in intact if I have to.
LOL, this thread reminds me of the CH751 key fiasco on RV's. 90% of most RV's, campers and RV storage compartments use the same CH751 or 751CH key. Check your RV's folks, if your key has CH751 imprinted on it, your at risk!
I remember back in the 70's, my brother and his friend both had the same car, I think they were '74 Plymouth Satellites.
As a joke, my brother walked up to his friends car and opened it with HIS key. Worked in the door AND ignition.
Am I the only one who was surprised at how long it took the fairly muscled dude to use a substantial crow bar to open that tin can?
My intuition is that the average smack junkie isn't carrying a breaker bar or can opener, and doesn't want to spend 4+ minutes banging the gong in a gun owners' suburban house. A pro burglar is another matter.
