Gun Safe Opening Masterclass by Wayne Winton

Go BEYOND the basics of safe opening and dive deep into the complex mechanisms of gun safes. Learn how to troubleshoot issues such as bolt work disconnection, relockers being triggered, and safes jammed from their contents. We’ll also go over what to do with safes that have been burglarized or damaged during a move or attack, and explore the latest techniques for electronic and mechanical locks.

The MOST comprehensive gun safe training available, designed to equip locksmiths with the knowledge and skills to handle even the most challenging scenarios.

This is an extensive 4-hour course that we break down into several sections which range from 1 to 30 minutes, making it easier to grasp each concept one by one.

Following each section will be a short quiz that will help you lock in the information you learned at every step, and a final assessment at the end to put your new skills to the test! Once you complete the final assessment you will receive a Certificate of Completion for Home Safe Opening.
