Great video! Very clear and informative to the point. Have a mechanical lock on my Liberty gun safe and want to swap to an electronic lock. This gave me a good idea what’s to look for

I’m currently locked out of my digital lock safe. Could be a week or two before I get parts. Just a different perspective to consider

Glad I found your vid. My Liberty Safe has the very old style NL electronic lock that's become unreliable. Other one Liberty had was the Sargeant & Greenleaf. Been thinking about a non-Liberty upgrade. Thank you for your time in making this video. Very helpful.

Not sure why no one pointed this out... You don't need to hit that safety button on the inside edge of the door, there is a lever just below the lock body that you can see moving in the video. Still needs two hands, but not a huge reach.

Thanks - had no idea that was there. I appreciate the tip.

John Excellent video….very much appreciated. I am in total agreement with everything you said and have done. I like the my current electric lock but am on the fence about maybe choosing the mechanical lock. What are your respected thoughts on mechanical locks perhaps longevity/ durability or any feedback is appreciated

Unfortunately, I don't have any practical first-hand experience with mechanical safe locks. However, a source I trust (who works in the physical security space) suggested that either the S&G 6700 or S&G 6630 would be good choices.

Good video and I was impressed how neat and tidy the hidden business side of the safe looked. A lot of makers have all sorts of gunk and loose welding bits inside the hidden guts of the safe. Which model Liberty is that? It looks well made.

@@jdbarney Thank you for answering. Even though I chose a different safe the Lincoln was one of my top considerations several years ago while researching gun safes. You have a good gun safe Sir.

Would it not be cheaper to just remove Liberty's back door/manager code and insert your own ??
@jdbarney Жыл бұрын
Changing the manager code is easy (and free). It's the super user code that was the backdoor. At the time I published this video, the only way to get Liberty to cough up that code was to complete their "combination request form" which included filling out a bunch of personal information, having the form notarized, and paying them a $25 fee. I've been arguing from the start that there should be no charge for that code since it belongs to the customer. Bottom line - you are right - it would be cheaper. But I would prefer to start fresh with a new lock and not give Liberty another penny.

There is no "Super Code" without a serial number and once you reprogram your entry codes Liberty can pound sand cuz they ain't getting in. @@jdbarney

I don't own a Liberty and I'm not positive, but I'm guessing that without a certified Liberty tech, the warranty was voided
@jdbarney Жыл бұрын
Perhaps, but I don't expect to need them for any kind of warranty claim. I did save the original lock set which could easily be reinstalled.
