Yeah but the odds of someone guessing it are still pretty much impossible. S&G dial on my Browning Medallion. I have other small safes for fast entry that are digital.
Half the battle on an S&G lock is knowing the pattern. A lot of people wouldn't be able to get in one even if the combo were written on it.
LOL!
That's the truth.
I tried to get an engineer friend to open one over the phone ---what a frustration!
Sometimes for no apparent reason I go right left right, despite no combo lock ever that I've encountered working when you got RLR.
For some reason, when I first started collecting safes, and learning to manipulate them, I began setting the combo backwards.
So spin the dial -not at one at the moment and we are always confused unless muscle mem kicks in -spin the dial CW 3 turns stopping at x, then CCW stopping at y, and so on.
I think!
I've retrofitted S&G electronic locks on half of them now, about, and buy the locks on eBay for great prices used. Typically a standard S&G electronic that uses the 9v battery costs ~$40.
This said, I always document [photograph with measurements] the lock/bolt/mechanism, in case there's a failure and I have to service the unit. Strongly recommend everyone do this to help a lock smith in the event of trouble and might save some $$$ getting it open.
