Following a home robbery, our Master Gun Safe Technician was called in to open a damaged safe. He opened it within minutes, allowing the customer to retrieve the valuables that had been preserved.

All ShotLock Solo-Vaults come with a default combination of 1 - 2 - 7 - 8. The combination is easily reprogramed, allowing you to have a personalized access code.

Our Master Safe Technician helped a customer regain access to the contents of their Liberty safe after an unsuccessful robbery attempt. 

There are three types of gun safe locks: biometric locks, keypad locks, and mechanical locks. Each type has its own, unique advantages. The following are our top picks for each type.

The most common reason a gun safe handle is hard to turn is that the safe has been overfilled. This causes items to push against the door’s locking bolts, disrupting its ability to open properly. 

Requests for warranty service, lost combinations, and emergency openings are a common occurrence at NW Safe. We receive them weekly. It is also common practice to help families or friends to gain access to safes for folks who are sick, have passed away, or are even out of the country working. But being able to help requires the gun safe owner to take a few preliminary steps.

In addition to just smelling funky, moisture in your gun safe can cause irreparable and even dangerous damage to its contents. Guns are one of the biggest concerns when we encounter moisture damage — as even small amounts of rust could cause your firearm to misfire.
