Don’t downgrade your safe by doing this. Mechanical is superior.

Great video! Thanks for explaining the mechanisms in the lock. I have a keypad that won’t stop beeping after changing the 9V battery (multiple times), so I might be looking to go mechanical or upgrading the keypad with biometric.

Best part of this video to me was just your overall attitude. Made it fun to watch. That being said, I have a Champion Collector Series. I took the inside cover off ( no screws. Cover just lifts out ). Looks pretty much the same as the Liberty that you did. I'm assuming that it is?? Thanks for this video. I live in the middle of BFE in NV so this will definitely be a do it myself thing. Thanks for posting this !!

We appreciate you watching and your feedback! Yeah, I absolutely almost said “if you have a Champion the door panel will lift up and out” hahaha. I try to squeeze as much knowledge into these as possible, but still keep the audience engaged. However, the Mad Scientist (the genius filming & editing) reminds the comment section is where I can elaborate, so here we are! Anyway, yes, this is your guide for your Champion safe. Other than the door panel it should be pretty much the same, but feel free to let us know if you have any questions. Thanks again for watching!

Robert, you’re in the wrong business. You’re a born entertainer. No script and it was entertaining as hell. I am looking to buy a safe at Costco (I know, I know, don’t say it). It’s made by Sanctuary (China) who also makes the Remington and Sports Afield gun safes. I want to do the reverse of what you did in this video, changing out the electronic lock to a Sargent & Greenleaf mechanical. I’m an old Boomer and have a thing for the old combination locks. As far as you know are the electronic lock hole patterns universal? I haven’t removed the rear panel yet and looked inside but if you tell me the Sargent & Greenleaf 6730-100 is compatible I will buy the safe. I only have a couple guns and don’t need a pricey Rolls Royce Liberty safe.

@@Nobody4rpresident You’re entirely too kind, but thank you. We (the Mad Scientist filming & editing) and myself figured if we want people flying watch we need to be real on camera. Hahaha, I’m a goofy gorilla🤷🏼♂️. I’ve not worked on or done a lot with the China Remington safes. However, there is 1 simple rule of thumb, if it comes with a key then you can’t swap it. I am not familiar with the lock I see on the Sanctuary safe in Costco’s website. However, I read the reviews and someone did mention “key override”, this typically cannot be retrofitted to a S&G 6730. That said, it’s a little more expensive, but perhaps a Browning BX 10 or the 14 size might consider consider.

Man, I’m thinking about it. It’s quite a bit more involved and takes the user being a bit more mechanically inclined. I’ve personally had to fix lots of customers mistakes trying to install or set their own combination. For those reasons I’m hesitant, I’d hate it if someone made a mistake and were stuck with their safe open. You know? But you’d be interested in that video?

You’re half right. Yes ,mechanical locks are 100% emp proof. Many of today’s top selling safe keypads ARE rated for EMP. They have what’s called a RS105 which is a Mil-STD test. It’s also rated for solar flares. The locks linked in the description all have it, I believe.

This is a great question. And hopefully more people see this. Most any lock on the market has a manufacturer reset code. This is removal in many locks. For example the Securam TopLit and Securam BackLit and ProLogic you buy from us you can set that reset code (aka super code) yourself. There’s a user code, the one you use everyday to open your safe and super code which is a backup, you set both when we mail the lock. If you already have a TopLit or BackLit lock on your safe we have a video that shows you how to reset the super code yourself.

Yeah, to each their own. Well over 90% of the safe market chooses keypad over mechanical.
