New to me Browning Gun Safe

[colorider]

The Securam lock they Opie sells is outstanding! Digital with dial backup. He installed one for me and I’m really happy with it. I got it when my S&G dial lock failed.

I'm totally impressed by Colorado Springs Sheriff's Officer M. Reed that responded today to verify ownership of my gun safe to satisfy Browning's requirement. She came out, identified serial numbers and put together paperwork based off a phone call to previous owner and my conversation that I am now indeed the owner of said safe. Afterwards, realizing Browning requires this documentation to be sent to their HQ's via a fax only method with letterhead showing it came from the local Sheriff's Office. She simply was the most professional officer I have ever met in my life. She even called back to let me know when the fax actually was successfully transmitted! Amazing! I'm on hold for 24 hours before I call and request the override code. Hope this ends as well as today process/help from the Sheriff's Office. Great process if this works out and not a penny spent and that is always a plus. If this does not end well for what ever reason... I'm giving Opie a shot at selling me a new digital unit.

Was it the:
Colorado Springs Police Department
or
El Paso County Sheriff's Office

Sorry about that El Paso County Sheriff's Office. Outstanding Officer/individual that done all this work.

Did you get a date?

I'm impressed that you found this great deal via Craigslist. Something valuable for free in exchange for your labor. I'm envious. I buy and sell a lot on Craigslist. I get great deals for things I want and offer great deals for old stuff I no longer need. It's a super resource. Everybody wins.

A date... do you mean like movie and dinner... no! However she was a beautiful lady if that is what you are talking of. I'm still in shock that this worked out for me with a two year old safe. Browning told me today its a 2016 model. I have found that being quick to react to online free stuff will get you free stuff. I'm on a tight budget and I have for the past year buying things for my home that are actually used. Always have to look out for the scams and possible setups but I have had very good luck.

[Grant H.]

You still need the original combo to change it with the tool. Otherwise you have to open the lock body and manually adjust it.

I'd suggest just having Opie take care of it.

He's good to go and will do it right.

Lock bodies aren't too terribly difficult, but you run the risk of something slipping and then you have to pay to have the safe drilled to get back in, which will be more than having Opie reset the combo.

[Skywalker]

I'll see what Opie will charge and I'm all the way out in Peyton.

[Fentonite]

That’s great to hear about the officer who helped you. I’d recommend you return the favor and send the sheriff a note commending his deputy’s professionalism and helpful attitude - always a nice gesture.

[Skywalker]

Roger that.
