I got those two new Mechanical Redundant safe locks in.
See original post here: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=102489
The locks are going to be $310 ea. for now. But I understand that they may go up in the future because of the way the distributor is going to start stocking them. ("Piece meal", instead of in a kit).
This will be the first time that I will be installing them, so here's the deal:
I will charge half of whatever my normal trip charge would be. (Usually starts at $75, and goes up depending on distance.) And I will charge a half hour labor ($75) , no matter how long it takes to replace your lock with the new mechanical redundant lock. (My normal MDS discount does not apply because this is already a discounted price.)
I would prefer not to do these first two, too far away from me, in case I run into something unforeseen and have to come back (on my dime) especially since I'm cutting the trip charge in half.
What I need from the two lucky "subjects":
You will need to remove the back panel (ONLY!) of your gun safe to make sure that there is room for the lock. (I don't want to get into cutting/modifying door panels until I have a few of these under my belt.)
The new lock is thinker than a standard mechanical or E-lock. (But considerably thinner than the older - no longer made - mechanical redundant locks.)
The new lock is 1 1/2" thick. So you will need to measure the distance from the front (the side closest to the door) of the current lock, to the inside of the back panel. Be sure to allow for any extra relocker attachments currently fastened to the back of your lock.
The first two people to contact me ***by PM***, telling me that the lock will fit, get first shot.
After that, I will evaluate the installation and what I will be charging in the future, and will post accordingly.
Sound good?
If you have any questions, feel free to post below. But the first two PMs (AFTER you make sure it will fit) get the first two locks.
ETA: Installation will have to be during normal business hours (M-F 8:30-4:00) I will be happy to schedule it as the first job of the day.
ETA 2: If your current dial or keypad is behind any part of the handle you turn to open the door, there has to be at least 1 3/4" clearance between the handle and the door, for the handle to clear this keypad.
