Gun and gear reviews Huntshield Safe Help!

Hey guys! I just bought a Huntshield 24-30 Gun Fully Assembled Cabinet from Canadian Tire.

I took it out of the box and lugged it to the basement with a buddy of mine.

Personally I LOVE IT. But there’s already a problem.

The key will NOT come out of the lock if the door is closed and in the lock position. The key will ONLY come out of the door if the door is OPEN and in the lock position.

Why? I really truly don’t want to waste my time returning it. Also because I preemptively threw out the box…

Please tell me there a solution.

*EDIT: I completely took off the locking cam bolt then reinstalled it and tightened the HELL out of it. Now it opens and closes and locks and unlocks like butter.

Is there anything in the way of the locking lugs?

Not at all! It is completely free of any and all debris all around including the door jambs and all.

Bent lugs, loose lock, something is preventing it from going into the fully locked position and not releasing the key. If it works fine open then something is preventing it from locking when closed. Mark where the key is to remove when open and check that it makes it to the same place when closed.
