I recently changed the 9V battery on the keypad dial on my gunsafe and inadvertentlypulled a wire loose while doing so. I'm not handy enough to fix it. would like to avoid calling in a locksmith or electrician. Any suggestions? should I post a photo?
Thanks

Can you make a temporary jumper wire with alligator clips or pins to make it temporarily work to get the door open? Once open, take the back of the door off and remove the lock and repair it.

just a thought.... if you are unable to solder it with confidence...
have someone competent do it...
that is not an item I would want to fail in a pinch...
you didn't mention the size of the safe

I would think it would be easy enough to solder if it isn’t I would think you’ll need to call a locksmith.

Which wire did you pull off and off of what.
