Check for power issues if your gun safe uses an electronic lock; replace the batteries. If it's a mechanical lock, ensure you are using the correct combination and turning the dial precisely. Listen for clicks that indicate correct alignment. If neither works, the lock may be jammed. Consult the manufacturer's manual or contact customer support for assistance.
