Epic Fail Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 So i had originally ordered a Lokaway LOK4DK from my local RFD in June for July delivery from GMK July went, August went & no sign of it on the ship from china. Turns out GMK cant get any from the factory until the end of the year so another cabinet is in order Does anyone have any experience with the Black diamond range from Buffalo river ? specifically the 18 gun https://www.winterfieldsafes.co.uk/buffalo-river-black-diamond-line-18-gun-cabinet.html Struggling to find any photos / videos or info other than stock images and the odd image of a 24 gun cab from the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutiny Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I have the 10 gun version which I bought around 4 years ago. They no longer make spares for the lock assembly etc for mine - they changed the spec slightly not long after I bought mine, so I’ve had to resort to using the key as the solenoid doesn’t release using the keypad. Good cabinet, but I feel I’ve been let down by their aftercare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

243ack Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 I thought the Black Diamond range was electric solenoid only without emergency mechanical key?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 I have the cheapo range in 7 gun plus top locker. £220 around 6/7 years ago and it’s not got fancy locks which suits me fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutiny Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Maybe I’m wrong and it isn’t the black diamond version then - I’ll get a couple of pictures posted in a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the black diamond range Some of the descriptions say it only has a shelf at the top but some say it has a small lockable compartment Other than the lock breaking, how does the rest of the quality seem ?

Mutiny Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Mine has the lockable ammo compartment and a small shelf up top. Other than the lock issues I’m happy with the cabinet - it seems well enough made and it feels quality it terms of the bolt retraction and hinges etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedra1106 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I have the 10 gun non-electronic Silver series, top lock box and shelf. Excellent bit of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
