Stack-On Sentinel Recall “About 1,250 Stack-On Sentinel gun safes are being recalled due to a bolt malfunction. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports the recall was issued Thursday. The bolt malfunction can cause the safe to open without the use of a key or combination, allowing access to any firearms stored inside, which poses an injury hazard. The recalled safes are black and measure 40 inches by 25 inches by 55 inches. They have three shelves and can store approximately ten firearms. The recalled style number, FSS18-64-MB-E-S, can be found on the shipping packaging. The products were sold at Dick’s Sporting Goods stores nationwide from November 2018 through December 2018 for about $700.” RB Cancer fighter (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) since 2009, now fighting Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. | ||

It's bad enough that some of these can have the lock bypassed with a paperclip, but now we find out that on some of them you simply need to turn the handle and the lock bypasses itself.  | |||

I'd love to know what the actual "malfunction" is. RB Cancer fighter (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) since 2009, now fighting Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. | |||

Can you replace that Crackerjacks electronic combo assembly with a real mechanical lock? | |||

The lock on that model appears to be an Omega Redundant swingbolt. So yes, you could put another standard lock on the safe. RB Cancer fighter (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) since 2009, now fighting Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. | |||

Despite my best efforts, my brudder bought himself an electronic combo lock gun safe. (Probably not one of the better ones). After five years it's gotten where it will only open the lock if the 9-volt battery is brand new. I've warned him to get it serviced... No safety key either. | |||

These may have been manufactured specifically to Dicks limp standards. | |||

While Stack-on safes are the bottom end, for seven hundred dollars, it ought to be serviceable. I have a couple of sheet metal stack on lockers that I got as kid-proof places to put their .22's and such. They could be pried open with a bar, but it would take quite a bit of effort, and they're good enough for their intended use. A heavy bolted safe should have a reliable lock, be temperature resistant, and very difficult to open, and heavy enough to resist carrying off without making a show of it, or boltable (not possible for rentals). There's no excuse for a non-workable safe, even if it's the bottom end. | |||

I didn't even know Stack-on even made actual safes. I always associate the name with inexpensive sheet metal cabinets and tool boxes. | |||

It's easier to understand the excuse when you run the math backwards. There's a pant in China full of machinery. They buy the steel, paint, carpet, wood, and make all of the parts and pieces needed. They assemble this into a final product, transport it to the ocean, and ship it here to the US. Once in the US it is trucked all over the country, placed in a store, marked up, and sold for $700. What do you think the safe actually cost to make factoring in the profit of the retailer, transportation expenses, profit of the manufacturer, and production expenses? So when you're eyeballing that $700 Chinese safe at the store you're actually looking at a $100 safe. | |||

And to add insult to injury, a “safe” that’s simple to crack. RB Cancer fighter (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) since 2009, now fighting Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. | |||
