Gun safe key pad replacement
 
I have a older electronic Brinks gun safe from costco, called them today, no warranty, so now looking at replacing the key pad, has anybody ever done this, if so with what key pad, google wants to sell me a new gun safe.

Return it to Costco. I had the exact same safe and trouble a few weeks back.

I have a couple of them and had the same problem with both. When the batteries ran out I put in new ones and the pads wouldn't work. Replaced the 4 new batteries with 3 new ones and one old and it worked again. Ran it like that for a few months and then replaced the used one with a new and it kept working. Both are still running lkie that and haven't had to replace the batteries yet.

Did you by chance by Kirkland batteries? Darn things have a shorter positive terminal and can’t always make perfect contact. Expand the spring a bit and should be fine.

I tried both Kirkland and Duracell. Same problem with both...

Safe
 
I had a 9 year old Costco gun safe.
Key pad went.
I phoned Costco and they said return it for a full refund which I did.
