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.

I have one of these. The key only coming out when it's looked (and being stuck in when unlocked) is a feature.

Sounds like they reversed it on yours.

Edit, premature post:

On the inside there's a rectangular part that's attached to the lock with a silver hex bolt. You should in theory be able to hold the rectangular part and undo the bolt, rotate the lock/key 90 degrees relative to the rectangular part,, then re attach reattached, i think that should solve the issue

5 edits later most of the words are right. In too hungover for this

I have installed hundreds of locks and this sounds correct,
the key should NOT come out when the door is unlocked.
