He seemed to think the LaGard electronic was the end-all, be-all.
I had 2nd thoughts after receiving the gun safe, and started calling around to different locksmith shops to have a dial installed. They all thought I was nuts wanting to convert to a dial. One of the locksmiths even quoted me a discount if he got to keep the electronic keypad after the install. I never did the dial conversion.
The locksmith who did mine didn't think too highly of the S&G dial. I was surprised to hear it. He seemed to think the LaGard electronic was the end-all, be-all.
I never ever saw a safe drilled open due to a failure of a mechanical lock, but according to the locksmiths, these do fail.
