As for Safe's with 'electronic' combination locks running off batteries - I have seen them in action when they switched the Store Safe out during a Remodeling back when I was running a 1hr lab for Walgreens. They are about as secure as a White Picket Fence! Due to some battery issues early on, our managers quickly figured out how easy it was to pop the cover and release the lock without the keypad combo so it became routine to open the safe that way at the drop of a hat! Fat-Finger a combo - Pop Cover and OPEN almost as fast as tapping the combo pad! I found this quite distrubing because the safe it self was fairly substandial in size and construction in all other regards but opening it was as easy as changing the batteries in a TV Remote! WOW The 'Classic' Dial Lock might be 'easily' defeated with the proper experience and technology, BUT it's definitely NOT a PLASTIC BOX that is designed to easiy open and contains it's own Internal Override SWITCH either!!!! In theory and potential implementation an electronic lock makes it is easy to have quickly changing and changeable combinations in a retail environment with multiple and changing employees coming and going. BUT hire REAL ENGINEERS and NOT Toy Makers!!! :-)
