If you already own a Liberty Safe, you can request the removal of your access information from their database, ensuring your privacy moving forward.
Ownership and Political Donations:
Concerns have arisen regarding Liberty Safe's ownership by Monomoy Capital Partners, an investment firm with ties to liberal Democrat politicians, several are notoriously anti-gun. Claims about the current CEO's political donations remain unverified. It's essential to scrutinize information from various sources and verify its accuracy.

Replacing the lock, whether mechanical or electronic, is a proactive step. Lock replacements are readily available online, and you can enlist a locksmith's help if needed. This ensures your peace of mind and control over access to your firearms.
