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.

It's not fully locked. It probably seems like it is,but the key will need to go slightly past 90* or 180* to release.

Empty the safe of absolutely everything including foam, carpet, etc and try closing it. If it still won't close, look for rub marks on the bolts, door, and inside of the safe.
