These are not the standard production models. They are often built for box stores for promotions like Black Friday. You’ll note the model number is SA5526MEL-L. Dunhams also has special production models. If you look at the specs they usually have minor down grades in production. Maybe it’s just the bolts on the door are 1” and not 1-1/4”, the metal is a gauge thinner. Just small tweaks but they matter to some.
I’ve purchased one from Menards and one from Dunham’s. Both were BF specials. Both were listed as 30 gun. One came with a door organizer (Dunham’s). One came with 2 (Menards) access keys. But compared to the “higher priced” Sports Afield safes at both stores there were minor differences. But not enough to deter purchase as it is what it is, a budget conscious purchase.
30 guns? With a lot of creativity you can but you have to remove some shelves.
Key pad issues? None from mine. They twist off to access the manual key option if battery/pad fails or you forget passcode.
The weight is under 300 lbs. so easily handled compared to 500+ lbs safe.
