All,
I have a Liberty Centurion safe that is 7-8 years old. I believe that it is the CN24 model...anyhow, the electronic solenoid started taking a few times before allowing me to engage the handle and open the door. Instead of lubing the mechanism, I thought, "Wow, let's just order a new solenoid." Took inside firewall of safe off, removed the solenoid to get S&G part number, and looked for part online. Well...that was several weeks ago and I got distracted and reminded myself to NOT turn the handle and lock the safe.
Yep, it's locked. No solenoid on the inside and probably no hope. Called Liberty to see if there may be something possible, since the inside door panel was removed as well as the solenoid 'block'. The very nice service rep explained that since the handle will not turn at all...the re-locker has been activated.
Looking for a solution. I can call a locksmith, but it is possible to remove keypad and manipulate the levers inside with the solenoid 'block removed? Is it possible to use a welding rod to manipulate the relocker? Or is there even a hole large enough to do this. I am assuming that there is a hole that is only small enough for the wiring to reach the solenoid.
I did remove keypad battery and looked up into the keypad and saw a screw. Is it possible to remove keypad from outside? At this point I will obviously be replacing the electronics to a dial, but not sure which direction to go.
