Cannon sells one of the most trusted brands of safes for the protection of valuables or guns. A combination of numbers entered in a specific sequence is needed to open this type of safe. If the numbers are entered incorrectly, you will not be able to open the safe. Cannon specializes in two types of safe locks, mechanical and electrical. A different process is necessary to open each type of lock.
