My gun safe with a S&G lock gave me the 20 beep low battery error also.
I replaced the battery and it still gave me the error beeps.
I ordered a new lock and tried the new keypad on the safe but that didn’t fix it.
I tried the old keypad on the new lock and it worked just fine.
The lock inside the safe door is what is malfunctioning.
Now I have to either drill holes in the door of the safe to open it, or I have to cut into the safe with an angle grinder.
The safe manufacturer is no help.
S&G customer service has not been much help either.
The lock inside my safe seems to be a discontinued model. I wonder how many of them were defective.

I purchased a cannon gun safe at tracker supply on Black Friday, about a year and a half later the lock started beeping own its own so I changed the battery.
I ended up doing this about three times and then it wouldn’t open at all.
I called the manufacturer and they told me I would have to replace the lock, and the lock was under warranty. So they sent me a new lock, after receiving the new lock,I realized I can’t open it to replace it so I called them back.
Cannon told me that was my problem and I would have to call a lock smith to come and drill it to get it open.
I Called a local locksmith and they quoted me a price of $150.00 just to start, with no guarantee.
I gave $500.00 for the dad gum thing and as cheap made as they are I wasn’t gonna give another 150 to open it.
I called cannon back and they told me where exactly to drill it and what to do,I done what they said. Yep you guessed it it didn’t work so I took a 4 inch grinder with a speedy cut grinding wheel and cut a 4”x 6” hole in the door where the lock is located, about 30 minutes later I was in it.
Words of wisdom do not buy a safe with a electronic lock unless you have some other way of opening it.
