Gun Safes- What to look for

[XDM45]

I would disagree with the idea that mechanical locks are better than a key pad. The technology is established enough in the keypad to be just as reliable as a dial lock, more secure, and more convenient. Not to mention the dials wear out and you can't change the combination conveniently. I bought my gun safe used , and the thing will open if I get within 2 digits of the combination for each number.

Electronics are far more fragile than mechanical parts are. I would rather rely on good, old, years-proven, nuts and bolts than some new chipset on a board.
