Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Battenfeld Technologies is recalling approximately 3,900 Lockdown® Compact and Large handgun security vaults because the three-digit combination lock can fail. This defect allows unauthorized individuals to access the vault's contents, including firearms. These black steel cases were sold at sporting goods stores and online retailers nationwide between May 2012 and March 2013 for about $21. Consumers should immediately stop using these vaults to store firearms and contact the company for a full refund.

Risk

The combination lock mechanism can fail, allowing the vault to be opened without the correct code. This poses a serious safety risk as it provides unintended access to handguns or other dangerous valuables by children or unauthorized users.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Lockdown handgun vaults to store firearms or other hazardous items.
  2. Check the size of your vault; the Compact model has internal dimensions of 5.25" x 8.25" x 1.5", while the Large model is 6.125" x 9.75" x 1.5".
  3. Locate the serial number on the paper label situated on the inside bottom of the vault, underneath the foam padding.
  4. Verify if your serial number falls within the recalled range of ST120002600 through ST120006800.
  5. Contact Battenfeld Technologies Inc. toll-free at 877-509-9160 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.lockdownvaults.com and click on 'Product Recall' to arrange for a return and full refund.
