At lunch today my wife asked for the combination to the gun safe!

[JcMack]

Off Topic alert!! I used to install those self checkout lanes in major retail stores. Every one had a safe at the end with replenishment cash in it. The store managers job was to change the electronic combo once a week. Forgotten combos =s drilled dial many, many times. Not too bright.

S&G e-locks have a mangement or master reset code. If you have that it does not matter what the combo is you can set it to the factory default 123456#.

I haven't installed them for years as I can't get the safe off the skid anymore. I'd hate to think I drilled so many cause I didn't get the default memo or forgot it.

I have only been doing this for about 10 years. And as more of a hobby to pick up a little extra cash.For every e-lock I install on a Liberty safe I send in the mangement reset code to Liberty with the serial # for the safe it has been installed on. It is on a label on the back of the lock. Some have it in a small black pouch (newer Z-Lock). When this code is used it resets the lock master code to 123456 #. But you have to know how to use that code. it is input a little different than the set code.

One thing about Australia's strict gun laws:

My wife doesn't have a handgun license, so by law she isn't allowed to have a key / combination to the safe.

Nothing will keep out a dedicated, determined thief, but why make it easy for the casual break-in, "friends" of your teenagers, or little kids?

good point barb....and those that you describe make up the vast majority of thieves

We have the same restriction here in certain states. My state, the state of MA, doesn't allow anyone without a license to have any access whatsoever to the firearms. Most states don't have such a restriction.

Fortunately I don't have to worry about that because my wife and elder children are licensed as well.

My wife absolutely must have the combo to the safe.... that way when I forget what it is she can remind me !!!

 

[buckeyeshooter1]

give her the WRONG combination

 

[alde]

My wife has the combo to the safe. She keeps her jewlery and medications in there. She takes a couple of meds that probably have a higher street value than a model 66. She does not really like guns so she pretty much pays no attention to them. She knows enough to treat them as if they are loaded, so she just leaves them alone. If I can't trust her after 25 years I have bigger problems then trusting her with a few guns.

 

[blastfact]

My wife has full access. Every firearm I have she owns also. We don't share underwear. I don't think I can get into her boy shorts. The granny panties maybe.

We are as one!

DIVORCE i gave my wife the numbers to get in my safe, i dont know why she still cant get in it, i forget sometimes myself

 

[wraco]

I don't know off hand, it's wrote down some where, I'll see if I can find it. Last time the door was open. Oh, those numbers don't work, must be broken, see if I can fix it. Ya, ya, I'll get around to it. . . Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies. . .

Guns are in the safe, combination is in the safety deposit box along with an inventory and value estimations. I'm pretty sure the wife would need help figuring out how to dial it in. (She's not mechanically oriented.)
She doesn't really know exactly how many of what guns I have, other than a 3 or 4 that she has done genealogical research on a previous owner. The only time she shows any concern is if I start bringing "new" ones in a little too often.
Married 47 years this year so I would guess that we have things pretty well worked out.

my wife asked me for the combination to the safe scared me, but i gave it to her. a couple days later i found the combo on the bathroom sink i was not happy. next time she asked for it she was leaving to go deer hunting with her brother and she had to get her gun out of the safe so i again gave it to her. when i got home there was my combo sitting on the stove this time. i again was not happy. i have no problem with her knowing the combo the problem is i have a 10 yo whose purpose in life is to eat the forbiddin fruit. he sneaks in behind me to see what the numbers are but my ninja skills are much better than his and i can feel him looking. he just can't understand why i won't just give it to him. not that he would mess with anything just wants to act grown too fast. problem is if he found the combo he could open it without a doudt. he got his moma's brains and his daddy's will power. my wife also likes to lend things to the inlaws. i dont know how many swings it takes with a 629-1 to beat in a 16 penny nail but when i get it back it will sure look like someone built a house with it. i love and trust my wife but would rather be on the side of caution and be mean then let that combo fall into the hands of my eldest and he get hurt or hurt someone. i dont think he would but i didn't think my dog would bite the hind end off the next door neibor's little dog either.

My ex asked for the combination in 2002when I divorced her. She didn't get it but a lot more loot.

If she can operate it, then give it

If your lucky enough to have a wife who can operate the dial (assuming you have nothing to hide in there) then by all means give up the number. I am assuming you have armed her 'just in case' without need of access to the safe.

I'm lucky, momma couldn't get the safe open if she tried. She kills the log in to the bank website by getting it wrong too many times.

For what it's worth when I buy a new firearm I tell her - "but it's for you hoooney". She does not believe me but I get away with it......LOL!!
