[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4205096, member: 45773"] I've had an S&G mechanical lock fail. I was eventually able to get the safe open but it took a few days of fiddling with it. That was a few years ago and I'm still using the same lock. Once I got it opened I took the door apart and cleaned everything and lubed it up. No other problems with it. I've had a Liberty safe with a Securam electronic lock for about 3 years now with no issues. The electronic locks are far more secure than mechanical locks but that also becomes a problem if they fail. They're harder to get into the safe than a mechanical lock. An electronic lock with a key backup just becomes an electronic lock that's easy to defeat according to what I've read. I just bought a Remington safe with that type of lock. I have mixed feelings about it. If the lock fails I'll be able to get into the safe. I doubt the local burglars around here will try to defeat the lock. So it doesn't worry me too much. I'm contemplating replacing the S&G lock on my American Security BF safe with a Securam biometric lock. [/QUOTE]
