I am looking to convert an old hope chest to locked storage.

I was thinking of using an RFID lock.

I see lots of them for $20 or less.

I am looking for something that is reliable and thinking you get what you pay for.

Does anyone have any first hand experience with these locks.

I have one on a Hornady gun safe. Even though it’s always plugged in, it shuts itself off at random. I don’t know if that’s the lock or something else, but then I must use the key backup to open it and unplug the power to reset it.

I have a Hornady too. I was disappointed to see it was Chinese made. But mine has worked flawlessly.

Have you talked to Hornady about it? I would think they would want to make it right.

Myself, I don't trust them enough to spend my money on them.
