rtr Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I recently acquired a Browning gunsafe (it came with my house). I bought a goldenrod to put in it. HoweverI can't figure out how I'm supposed to plug the thing in, there does not seem to be a hole in the safe big enough for the cord to go through. The only hole I can find is a small threaded hole in the top that isn't big enough for the plug. So am I SOL on the goldenrod or am I missing something here?

shred Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Usually there's a hole in the back somewhere, sometimes covered by a cap. In any case it's not usually large enough for a plug. Go by the hardware store, get a length of line cord with a plug on it and a U-wire-it socket. Put small end of line cord through hole, wire on socket. Insulate as needed.

Rob Boudrie Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Do NOT cut a hole in the safe big enough for the plug. Buy an extension cord, cut the plug off, thread that through the existing hole and attach a new plug (available from any hardware store). My safe came with a 1/4" hole drilled near the bottom specifically for this purpose. You can also cut & replug the goldenrod cord itself, but you may find it convenient to had the extension cord outlets in the safe if you want to add a light inside the safe.

Rob Boudrie Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Great minds must think alike, as Shred and I composed an identical reply at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I recently acquired a Browning gunsafe (it came with my house). If it's a mechanical lock, get a change key, read up on the forbidden zone and set a new combo. Carefully. If it's electronic, check to see if the model has a non-alterable "management code". If it does, you will have to choose between purchasing a new lock and sharing the combination with the previous owners. If it does not, get the instructions to the lock (probably a LaGard or S&G) and set your own combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianH Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 The Goldenrod being sold now has a removable plug. Just needs a quarter inch hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggorloader Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 The manufacturer of Browning Safe products Pro Steel has a great customer care Dept. For this or any other questions regarding your safe the number is: (877) 501-7233 The combination supplied with mine wasn't right and they talked me through the solution process with ease.
