Any locksmiths on the forum?

Not that great to be honest. We discussed that very point as he was working, his response surprised me because the same basic technique would work on almost any safe, it just takes longer if exotic metals are used for the hardened plate.

That said, without the right tools, knowledge and decades of experience it wouldn't be as easy as he made it look. I don't think a typical burglar would have the specialized tools needed or be willing to spend the time necessary to gain entry.

Drilling a hole is easy. Knowing WHERE to drill the hole isn't. That's what you paid for.

Sorta like brain surgery!! Knowing where to drill the hole is the key!!

Personally I'd change the electronic version to a mechanical version. They rarely go bad.

Absolutely, I had a mechanical lock installed because I never want to go through this again...
