Dual lock is the way to go.

Don't buy from Cabela's as theirs are made by Liberty as well.

That’s too much work.. I just pried open a safe the other day with Halligan tool and a sledge hammer. The supposed locking bolts bent and the steel warped and the door popped open.

I would imagine most, if not all, digital safes have a manual backup. Mine does.

My old Liberty is full manual dual locks. No batteries or touch pad for me. I hate that shit.

Mine has ten locking lugs, each over 1" in diameter. It would be easier to cut through the back of the safe than to try to get the door open. But that isn't happening, as it is against a wall, weighs 880 pounds empty, and is bolted to the slab.
