I am now considering changing my mechanical lock to another mechanical lock so a certain manufacturer for sure doesn’t have access to my current box.

Combinations on mechanical locks can be changed so only you have the combo. Requires a special tool to insert in back of mechanism. Available online.

Typical example of manufacturer using non-standard construction (lock or locking element is not standard), so swap-out requires a lot of work to refit instead of just swapping a lock to another. The other issue with this install is that now the locking bolt takes sideways forces which it wasn't designed for and will fail. The right way would be to weld a solid post behind the bolt, so that the lockin mechanism butts up against the bolt which butts up against the welded post, thus not transferring any loads to the lock body, being much more secure and rigid.

I have a cannon gun safe that I bought from tractor supply a couple of years ago. I worry about an EMP attack so I want to switch it to a mechanical combination. Where did you buy that combination kit?

According to Rhino Safes with SafeX technology can't use mechanical locks of old with bolt doors. We shall see.

Fast forward a year and I found a parts machine with a perfect table and knee. You can still see the hand scraping marks on it. Picked it up for $100 and swapped everything over! I'm rambling.. 😂

@@ht_fab3525 I hear ya on that. Same here. I bought a Cannon safe, same problem you had, kept locking me out. Couldn`t get any help from Cannon, so i cut the safe open and got my stuff out of it, in the dump it went. Bought another 2 safes since, no issues, so far. One is electronic, but has a back up key. The other safe i bought recently is a mechanical dial. I`ll be changing the other safe over to mechanical real soon. No more electronic safes for me, ever.
