Cannon gun safe - is this normal?

Well, that took a while, but I'm glad you got it worked out.

...he told me that I could keep it along with the replacement RSC.

Bonus!

...gun safe that is impenetrable...

There is nothing that can't be broken into. It just takes time and know how.

The smart crooks...

Yeah, thankfully there just aren't many of them around. The smart crooks aren't looking to rob my house anyway. I don't have enough value for them. The RSC is really only there to stop the smash-and-grab guys and slow down the really determined ones.

The gap in the OP's safe is completely unacceptable.

What happens when your house catches fire? The firemen house the hell out the house.

Gun safes are not water resistant at all. So by the time the fire department lets you assess the damage, your guns have already started to rust. Increased gaps in the door only let more water/moisture in.

One very good reason why I use gun socks on all of my guns.

People think that crooks are dumb. And yes some of them are. But you wouldn't believe some of the ingenious things that I've seen crooks do.

Glad to see your persistence paid off.

Hi Kanewpadle:

I think what really helped was being patient AND persistent. When the manager first called me, he was very nervous. I told him I wasn't interested in causing anyone any problems, but just wanted my safe fixed. Secondly, I think what really helped was by my asking him what the factory specs were for the door gap after he explained to me the reason for the gap to begin with. Once I sent him photos showing two quarters easily fitting in the gap, it was pretty easy after that.

Regards,

Dave
