[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 8396123, member: 77814"]Older, Cheap digital locks are easy to crack if you know which ones they are. On some, the face units do not encrypt the code and the backend does not lock out after a certain number of attempts and doesn't require encryption. Thus there are portable device apps that you connect the face unit cable to and it just runs through all the possible lock combinations until it unlocks. Thus the reason to get a good digital lock that requires encryption. There's many digital locks that are based on encrypted communications from the head unit to the backend such as American Security, Sargent and Greenleaf, etc. I learned this when my dealer said that digital locks are really good compared to the dials when I replaced my old UL safe with a modern Amsec BF safe. I did research back then (pre 2015ish) to learn more about them in regards to hacking, emp, etc. This excludes long lasting quality to prevent the motherboard or solenoid from wearing prematurely too; thus another reason to get a good quality electronic lock. There used to be a YouTube video I saw about this but I cannot find it in a brief search. edit: I forgot to mention. someone also makes a Dial Safe Lock Cracker device now too. Just search for "ITL robotic safe cracker" That's just goes to show you the modern, fully encrypted electronic locks appear to be "safer" than the dial locks. edit: and I found a more modern .. cheap electronic lock cracker video.
