The truth about back door codes built into Electronic safe locks vs. mechanical gun safe locks 

After all of this, i think the old school dial is worth while

You CAN change the MRC which I always do on e safe locks

Great video. Thanks. My electronic lock is at least 20 years old…! Need to change will do

I have safe lock with mechanical dial lock inherited from my older brother, been awhile not being used. He then show me how to open a dial safe lock. And suddenly it won’t open after three successful try (to make sure it’s still function properly). And he told me to get a new one. I told him i’ll take a chance to unlock it. And after several hours of trying and understanding how dial lock works I finally able to unlock the safe. This happens due to if I’m not wrong, wheel drifted so the number changes from the original position.

Great, great info. Thank you!

Good discussion. Having relockers go off is not fun.

Sir, Thank you for the expert information about these safe locks. I appreciate very much that you are sharing your knowledge. One question that I have that I have not seen you address is about the mechanical locks. My safe has an SG mechanical lock. The lock came with a written procedure, from the manufacturer of the safe, that allowed me to change the code on the mechanical lock myself without the help of a locksmith. I'm just a layman, not a locksmith. I didn't take the lock apart or change any parts. The procedure for changing the code was using the dial only. Is there another code that will open this mechanical lock, that I don't know about, that can only be changed by someone, like a locksmith, that has knowledge beyond what I have?

I have a cannon 64 gun safe with the NL lock assembly can I change it to the digital pad with the back up key.

Are the master/bypass codes unique per safe, or are they the same within a group of safes or the same for all safes in a certain product line?

Mechanical is only way to go!! Always was always will be!

Well Hell, my Canon safe I just purchased has a back door code as well not just Liberty safes.

Can a savta put a mechanical lock on a cannon and liberty safe? Thanks

What are your thoughts on the “dooms day lock” - both electronic and dial?

Question for you. I just purchased (second hand) a gun safe with an S&G dual lock. It did not come with the dial lock key. Is it worth while to purchase one? (In your opinion) I realize that the dial lock is a secondary safeguard and not intended to be the main locking feature, just wondering how useful having that key would be. Thx

Wayne, how often do you need to drill a safe to open it, and how long can the process take?

The only safe thats safe from anyone is the safe not known the where abouts

So I guess my 23 year old S&G 6120 lock is a bit past its expiration date then... 🤠👍

come on now you should know you can factory reset and also change the default master code.

I’m pretty confident a UL Group 1 listed S&G electronic lock doesn’t “expire” after 10 years… heck… my really really cheap electronic lock on a spare “safe” i have is now 12 yrs old and still works “just fine”.

WOULD YOU BUY A GUN WITH ELECTRONIC COMPUTER CHIPS IN IT??????? With this your relying on electronics with batteries and computer chips. Gun manufacturers could start putting computer chips in all their guns and create a ton of cool features. Sensors with Bullet count indicators, temperature sensors that warn when the gun is getting to hot, finger print sensors on the trigger, auto clearing malfunctions, all kinds of crazy things but You know why they don’t use Computer chips in your average firearm? Because they’re unreliable, more susceptible to damage and malfunction then mechanical designs. I feel like most people would agree to rely on a firearm that is 100% mechanical than not. So if you wouldn’t rely on electronics IN your firearm why would you rely on electronics to access your firearm???????
