[QUOTE="SoonerShooter08, post: 2035160, member: 2286"] I have a Winchester Silverado safe and I had SCI convert it to a S&G mechanical combo lock vs. the electronic lock that originally came with it. Now, I don't know about other safe's, but the electronic lock safes I've seen have a manual override in case the electronic pad goes out. On the Winchester safes it was basically a big skeleton key that could be inserted after popping the electronic pad off. Granted, that does you no good if you have the backup key stored in a safe deposit box or somewhere otherwise not immediately accessible. Regardless, I prefer manual combo locks since there's no keys to lose and no worries of electrical/electronic failures. I also have a rider on my homeowner's insurance to cover the firearms I own and I keep offsite records of the make, model, and serial number of all my firearms and other big ticket items. No safe is break-in proof and all you can do is hope that you have helped insure that the criminal doesn't have the necessary time to get in. Part of that is simply locking up your house, having an alarm system etc. [/QUOTE]
