My Liberty has the electronic lock and I'm happy with it. I change the battery every fall. Changing the battery on a regular basis will save a lot of problems with electronic locks and most other electronic items.

I had been looking at getting a safe for several years. I was the Tulsa gun show and talking to a salesman. I told him I wasn't buying anything being so far out of town but wanted to know the ins and outs of safes. He had been selling them for over 30 years. When we got to locking mechanism he went through the seemingly endless list of different levels of locking systems. Almost every maker, i.e Schagel has/had levels of quality. When impressed him about manual vs electronic, he said there are two types of electronic locks, those that have failed and those that are looking to fail. Kind of surprised me. I really envy the speed of the electronic but have heard stories of those who have had them fail. That said, my guess is that has changed with some newer technology.
It hasn’t changed. Safe locks are either solenoid or motor driven. Mostly solenoid. Anything electronic has a limited life span. Battery life has no bearing on how long the lock will last. It’s only a matter of time as to when the lock fails. And it will.
They still work. I just checked and Snoopy still gets a dial tone.

On another forum I visit a lady said she had a crank telephone in her house. I asked her if it was for receiving crank calls.
