Safe locking mechanism

Post by Toecutter1978 » Fri Mar 13, 2015 3:20 pm

So would it be better to change a digital lock to a dial? They both have their pros and cons. I've been thinking of changing it over to a dial so not to have to rely on electronics that could go out.

Electronic with key override
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Is it possible to have a locksmith install a key override then?

On an existing safe? Don't know.
I was thinking new when I posted that.
Sure yours doesn't has a key override? many have a keyhole behind the electronics

The electric lock just has me worried I might not be able to get in it if something happens.

It happens, mine died a week after I bought it, had to use the key until they sent me a new board.

Just called Klein bros. they said I can only have the electronic changed to a mechanical dial, key override has to come from the factory.

Safes can be punched open with the right tools.
