Will this lock work for a bighorn classic safe, 24gun? How tough is it without an alignment tool?

Yes, it works well. I installed it in my Bighorn Classic Model 19ECB without the need of the alignment tool. I did have to drill a hole in a bracket, but a simple hand drill took care of that. Also, use some type of grease with the outer dial. It helps with a smooth action.

I installed it on a Bighorn Classic, but it was the smaller one. You'll have to do some more research to see if it will work. Lots of info out there. If you have some mechanical ability and "feel" for mechanical things, you don't need the alignment tool. I did mine without, and it works fine. Good luck!

I'm not sure if it work for a Bighorn Classic but if you're replacing a S&G; electronic lock like I did on my Cannon safe it will be a direct replacement. I installed mine without an alignment tool no problem at all. It's not at all hard to center the dial, just make sure before you finalize the installation that the dial spins freely through it's entire rotation.

Not a big deal without an alignment tool. You can "eyeball" it...a six year old kid can do it. Can't really say for sure if it will fit a bighorn, however, the safes I have looked at, seem to have a generic locking system...sort of like a CD or DVD fits in all the players. My safe is a Liberty and it fit.

I replaced an existing lock without any issues and did not use an alignment tool. Whole job took me less than one hour. They have a video link to watch before installing on their website that made it very easy to install

I'm not sure if it will work on a Bighorn. I replaced an electronic lock and it looked to me like all the locks are a standard size, so it should work on a big horn. The lock was very easy to align without the tool. I just centered it in the hole and made sure the dial turned smooth. There is a good video on the web that gives you step by step instructions. This is a great lock.

Yes it will work perfectly. I have the same lock and safe. The only change you'll have to do is drill one new bolt hole in the relocker plate of the safe so it'll bolt up to this lock. But It's very easy. Any cordless drill will work. Otherwise a direct bolt in! And It's totally doable without an alignment tool just take your time and eyeball everything through the shafts' hole as best you can to make sure it's aligned. That's what I did and it works very smoothly.

It should work, but it will be impossible to re-set the combo without and alignment tool. You will have to call a professional locksmith.

It's not too much trouble without the tool. You can eyeball it or make a simple tool from threaded rod (5/16th I think) and a few washers and nuts. The main thing is before you tighten everything up, be sure it does not bind or rub. As to if it will work on your safe, I don't know. My safe needed significant changes to work. But better that than remaining digital...

This item replaced my existing deadbolt with no drilling necessary. Follow handing and programming instructions closely and you should have no problems with it. I have 2 units. 1 is nearly 2 years in service and the other 10 months. Zero problems.

I can only assume your alignment issue accrues when your using the guide fence. I do not use my hand plainer ( yet) with this attachment. but now you have me curious. if the tool company (s) are using Amazon to distribute faulty tools, then this review blog is very helpful. I suggest we always be dilatant with the checks and balance systems we are provided to protect us as consumers. but I must say this tool has performed perfect for me...

That all depends on the wood that you are running them in to and your pilot hole size. I had to grind them off when I wanted to move the lock in my installation. I could not turn the screws. However, on the new installation I just used long 10/32 machine screws with self locking nuts. You can turn the screw head all you want and the nut will just spin in place and never fall off unless you get inside to the locked area and hold the nut with something. That solves the security problem. The screws were very long 4 inch screws that were long enough to go through a 2 x 4 piece of wood. Got them at a surplus place. If going into metal, you won't have a problem finding long enough screws.

This will work . Thing is I would recommend using a dowel rod to make sure it's straight before tightening . Second if you have access to a mug welder you can weld it in place this is what I did . Over all this should work for you either way but to make it real secure I recomend the welding or brazing method .

Paul: You can shim it if you want, but for a 1/4" space I would just center the safe and use longer bolts (the ones that came with the safe are too short in my opinion. In my case I had a 24" on center space so I used 4x4 spacers. Even with that I had a 1/4" gap on each side. Using 3" bolts I bolted the safe in. Works great. Mark

Not sure what type if lock u have. If it is the type of lock that looks like a gear with the splines on the outside them u can generally use a socket that is a little oversized and drive it in. I believe in ur case ur would be an 18 mm. This technique is used in this kit as we'll but it has a variety of sizes to use.

it should but i don't know for sure. I looked at a bighorn safe and had planned to swap the cheap lock for a S&G; digital if i bought the safe. They make different models so call up the company and they can tell you for sure. The install is not very complicated. just follow directions and your done in less than an hour.

Yes The 3M Guardian Safety Lock by Meranto Technology Inc. uses 3M Very High Bond Tape and does not require drilling. You can find this product at www.thedoorguardian.com

We had to replace our hardware because the bolts were too long when attached. This is what we bought from Lowe's: The Hillman Group 5/16-in-18 x 1-1/2-in Stainless Steel Standard (SAE) Hex Bolt. The originals were about 3/4 " longer and are dark, not stainless. You will also need a lock washer and a nut.

Possibly. But I'm cautious about this lock working with trigger guards that are integrated with the grip or magazine box. I'd locate one in a store and compare the style to your firearm.

You need a Lisle 63000 for that lock ring. I bought that at the same time and wish I had bought it sooner. If you punch in that number here, you will see(second picture) it being used on a dodge truck tank

There is a pin in the gas block that you need to punch out !! Than it slides on over the bauo. lug and you replace the pin with an allen bolt !! (that is supplied with it) Than there is a small allen bolt that goes between the picatinny lands ( in the groove) tightens against the bauo. lug !! Very secure, but if you like a drop of BLUE locktite on either bolt will close the deal !! Add a sling stud adapter on the picatinny and you're good to go !!! Very secure !! (GOOD LUCK) Very happy with mine !!

I'm not sure about the alignment question because I'm at work and keep my tool in my truck. However, I believe there are instructions on how to test the glass breaker on the manufacturer's website.

It's probably the most solid lock out there, along with the compression lock, AXIS-lock, and lock-back... or a good titanium framelock (there's a good variety out there). The spring pressure is constant and stiff, and I'd wager my life on this lock. It won't fail. As far as accidentally releasing the lock in the middle of hard use, I've been trying to figure out what you'd have to be doing for that to happen... I think this design is the one least likely to be tripped by accident. It's easier to inadvertently trip an axis or compression lock than this one, and those two are very well designed.

go to Hogue and look it up to be sure, screws might not be the same and ect.... better safe then sorry!

Not a PITA at all. Two screws replace the trigger pins. It takes two different sizes Allen keys (one for each pin) but they just screw off. easy and secure. I removed the detent springs from the trigger group to save the threads on the GG&G screws and allow for easier insertion.
