    The backplate holds the relock bolt up when screwed tight, however if one applies any external force to the lock mechanism, the bolt will drop and prevent the door being opened again without cutting or drilling. On some variants there is also a built-in relock bar that interacts with the anti-drill plate, that can also lock the lock bolt permanently in place.

    My SG lock has a bad battery compartment Liberty is sending a new lock at no charge. I either DIY or pay a locksmiths $400.00 to install new keypad lock. Looks doable and not out $400!!! Thanks

    Nice video - I've had some issues with my keypad here and there - having to enter the combo multiple times, having it stick and not open - that kind of thing. It's nice to know that if things start to get worse, I can do a DIY fix - the SG keypads are actually fairly reasonably priced.

    We have the same exact issue. No click on the inside when we put in code. We even purchased the master lock code and still does not click. What did you do off camera to get the safe open? I may need to try that..... Thank you!!!!

    The part missing as stated is a re-locker. In a puck out attempt on lock or drill out the mechanism it will drop in and lock the slide til cut open. You can (and should) reuse the plate off original lock to keep that function. It is a super simple fail safe. And new mechanism had the same screw holes to mount the plate in the same spot

    That part with the spring is a relocking feature to prevent someone drilling and destroying your electronic lock. It’s supposed to “fire” and lock your safe at which point a pro would need to open it for you.

    Your old lock would have worked if you had removed that other locking large pin that you or I don't know the name of. I had the same problem of multiple trys up to 20+ I looked at how the mechanism worked and noticerd the dual drop down pins were working but not the large spring loaded bolt. Instead of removing that large spring loaded bolt pin, I just moved it to the upper hole to stay out of the way. Hope this helps others with the same problem of not opening until numerous tries. Also, try a fresh good Alakline battery. Sometimes, there's just not enough power to make the mechanism work.

    I have the same shape I bought new from tractor supply in 2019 last week when I went to open it the shaft connected to the turn handle broke off inside the shape call Cannon took quite a while to give them all the information they wanted to warranty this even a video of the battery then they tell me it will be 15 to 20 days before they get someone to come out and open it I am already going to have another safe a much better one I just want them to open it my advice if something goes wrong and you have a warranty problem go with another company avoid cannon at all costs thank you for your time

    You can take the dial lock out following the same general steps here with some minor added steps (lots of videos on youtube). Then to install the key pad the same way. Wayne Winton i think i spelled it right goes into good detail on all the steps

    The thingy is a re-locker, and if someone attempts to drill through your safe, or smash out the lock by hitting it with a hammer, the re-locker will snap into place, causing the safe to be permanently locked.

    Original lock probably would have worked perfectly if you would have loosened all 4 screws on mechanism and wiggled it into alignment and retightened it. Probably thrown together so quick or tweaked in shipping.
