TRIGGER LOCKS - MODEL GL650 3-in-1 Instant-Access This is the largest selling and most popular California approved trigger lock. The GL650 offers some unique features that no other lock provides. This lock is self-adjusting to the thickness of most trigger guards on most firearms. As quickly and easily as it is to remove this lock while in the "instant access" mode for the authorized user, it is difficult and seldom accomplished by an unauthorized user without the knowledge beforehand. Additionally, for extra deterrence, while in the "key locked level 2" mode, an additional step other than the key is required. We realize that some firearm owners will never lock their firearms no matter what. However, we take great pride when we receive phone calls and letters from firearm owners who tell us that they love the features of this lock and as a result, this lock has changed their mind and they now will lock their firearm. This lock also receives praise from firearm owners that desire additional deterrence from a standard keyed lock.  The uniqueness of this lock has something to offer firearm owners with different wants and needs. Equally liked by firearm owners is that you can switch the level of deterrence at anytime that you choose and as often as you choose. Whether you want instant access, additional deterrence, accidental discharge cable protection (on many firearms) or the ability to use a cable to secure the firearm, this lock offers you more options than any other external lock available. With over 4,000 firearm models certified, the GL650 trigger lock is the most versatile trigger lock available today. GL650 (without cable) GL650 (with cable) GL650 Packaging INSTANT ACCESS (Level 1) This lock has a special instant access feature that can be used if the owner has immediate control of the firearm. We have found that many firearm owners who choose not to use any lock at all, decide to use this lock when this feature is demonstrated. While in the instant access (level 1) mode, the lock can be opened without the key in less than 2 seconds, when the special trick is known. We have demonstrated this feature and baffled tens of thousands of firearm owners, law enforcement personnel, firearm manufacturer's and locksmiths. The common reaction when this feature is shown right in front of these experts is typically the same "That's a great feature but if it is that easy to open, everyone can open it". We usually respond with "You're probably right". We re-lock the firearm and hand it back to the curious expert and ask them to remove the lock. We have had people stand at tradeshow booths and firearm stores for as much as 20-30 minutes trying to remove the lock with no success (even after opening the lock in front of them several more times without showing them the special trick). Note: For security purposes, we have chosen not to show the special trick here. To see this feature work, visit your local firearm dealer for a demonstration. This lock also is equipped with a deadlock feature. If someone does NOT know the special trick to open the lock, there is a special deadlock feature that may be activated while unauthorized attempts are used to try to figure the special trick out. The deadlock feature, if activated , will prevent the lock from being opened even with the special trick being performed. Once unauthorized attempts to open the lock are stopped, the deadlock feature is re-set. If nothing else, this lock may delay access to gaining unauthorized use of the firearm. This delay may be valuable time where the unauthorized user may become frustrated, stop, change their mind or be discovered in their attempt. Caution: Never store your firearm with the lock in the "Instant Access" mode.  Always store your firearm with the lock "key" locked.

WHAT IF AN UNAUTHORIZED USER KNOWS THE TRICK OR GETS LUCKY? Occasionally, someone will ask us what if an unauthorized user finds out how to use this feature or it they get lucky and figure out the special trick? Our response is simple: You should never show the special trick to any unauthorized user, and under no circumstance do we recommend showing children. We never recommend leaving the firearm in the instant access (level 1) mode. This feature is designed and intended ONLY to be used when the firearm is in your immediate possession and control. If you use other locks that require ONLY a key to unlock the device, and an unauthorized user finds the key, they have immediate access to the firearm. With our GL650 lock, if an unauthorized user finds your key, they still are required to perform the special trick to open the lock. This extra required step may be the difference of stopping an unauthorized user from gaining access to your firearm. The bottom line is, if an unauthorized user knows the special trick, the key is still required in the "key locked" (level 2) mode and is not any more vulnerable than other keyed external locks, (see KEY LOCKED level 2 below) If you stored your firearm in a safe, would you close the safe door without spinning the dial to lock it? Would you leave your house without inserting your key and locking the deadbolt? These locks only offer limited deterrence if you use the key and lock them properly. The same equally holds true with the GL660 & GL650 locks. If you key lock the gun lock, the "instant access" feature is nothing more than an additional safety step required to remove the lock from the firearm. The trick to open this lock is easy if you know how, but far from obvious. This statement is easily substantiated based on weekly inquiries that we receive from users of this lock. We receive questions because some owners have not used the lock in sometime and cannot remember the trick to remove the lock. They have thrown the instructions away and have tried for varied amounts of time to figure the trick out to no avail. After they are informed of the trick, the lock is removed instantly. WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO USE THE INSTANT ACCESS FEATURE? In the event someone does not want to ever use me instant access (level 1 mode), they don't have to. If the key is inserted into the cylinder and turned to the locked position, the "instant access" feature is disengaged. To open the lock while in the key locked (level 2 mode), the key must be used to turn the cylinder to the unlocked position AND the special trick must be used. WARNING: NEVER leave the firearm unattended in the instant access (level 1 mode). Please read all warnings and instructions that are provided with the lock and supplied with your firearm. KEY LOCKED (LEVEL 2) EXTRA DETERRENCE Many firearm owners desire extra deterrence than traditional trigger locks or cable locks may offer. If the key is lost or stolen, a typical trigger lock or cable lock can be opened easily. If the key is found or stolen for this lock, the unauthorized user is unable to open the lock without the knowledge (or luck) of the special trick (level 1) required to remove the lock from the firearm. Just as many people love this lock because they occasionally desire quick access, many people purchase the lock because of the combination of our level 1 and level 2 features requirement to open the lock. One of the advantages of using the level 2 feature is that the lock requires two actions to remove the lock. If the key is found with other locks, whoever has the key can remove the lock and has gained immediate access to the firearm. With this lock in the level 2 mode, if an unauthorized user were to find the key, the special trick is still required to open and remove the lock. (2 separate steps are required). STEEL RACHET LOCKING DESIGN Typical trigger locks are usually made with a die-cast locking or latching parts. Our GL650 latching system is constructed of steel. We designed this lock using steel parts for strength and durability purposes.
