I have a safe with the Digital keypad, and love it. I too have an old bank style safe, which I bought from a Used Safe Co. The Safe Co Owner told me that the new electronic locks are as secure as the tumblers. I have a friend that has a safe which uses 2 Medco Keyed Locks, and that works well to.

Another thing is that safes like Hughs are getting hard to find, as the supply of the old safes is drying up, because guyz realize how good they are. . It seems that when the banking industry consolidated and branchs were closed the banks would sell off their safes.

Just be sure the safe U buy is of heavy gauge metal with all the seams being welded solid instead of spot welding. Lots of cos use Bondo to fill the seams to give a smooth appearence. Has an adequate fire rating. Be sure to bolt the thing to the floor, as Burglars are known to carry the things away. The other favorite is to use a Sawz All to cut the top and peal it back like a sardine can.

One of my neighbors bought a safe and within a week was robbed. An employee of the Safe Co he bought his safe from turned out to be a felon who had a buddy.
