Gun Locks
Published July 29, 2026 · Recall initiated: July 24, 2000
What's the hazard
Due to a manufacturing discrepancy, the two halves of some gun locks can be manually separated without a key, giving children and others unauthorized access to a firearm.
What to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled locks immediately and call Master Lock to receive a free replacement lock. As always, consumers are reminded not to use gun locks on loaded guns. Until the replacement lock is received, consumers should not use the recalled gun locks. Master Lock urges consumers to comply with all state and local laws requiring the use of gun locking devices.
