Harbor Freight Will not provide replacement overside key for Bunker Hill Digital Safe Lilburn Georgia
Harbor Frieght are ripoff. They are agent for Bunker Hill Digital Safe. It has a an overide Key if the battery is dead. I have misplaced my key and battery id dead. No way you can open up the safe. I have all my importnant documents in the save. And the safe is bolted from inside too the floor.
I called Harbor Freight and their lame answer is because of security we can not provide a duplicate keys. They ask me to call a locksmith. Which might cost more than the safe. What ab excuse. And they are the only one who sell these safes. So all please be aware that when you buy safes make sure you do not loose your keys.

harbor Freight is 100% correct. They should NEVER replace a key for anyone, period. If the items in the safe were that important, I would d**n sure keep the batteries charged and know where the overide key is. Harbor Freight cannot help it if YOU lost the key, and they should not be expected to offer a replacement key for any reason.
