If you haven't found it already, there is a detailed "how to" on Calguns forum, IIRC.  I think I printed it to PDF in case I decided to buy a safe with one of these "advanced" locks.

Thank you very much.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Don't know anything about the safe locking mechanism, so feel free (like anyone wouldn't) to correct my assumption here.

Seems like if a powerful magnet could cause a electronic lock to retract the locking mechanism a second lock operating in reverse would engage it's  mechanism when the magnet was applied?

How does the magnet know if the thrown bolts are engaging or releasing?

The primary mechanism engages/disengages by the control panel and disengages when a strong magnet is present.

The secondary mechanism is normally disengaged but engages when a strong magnetic field is present.

IMHO, the flaw in any electronic lack is that it has to have some servo method of opening and closing.  It is a challenge to design a mechanism where this cannot be exploited.

I let myself get talked into an electronic lock on the Canon.  Wish I had a dial and yes, I can spell

I had a lapse few years ago though.  So here I am with an electronic lock I don't want.

It isn't just as drastic as EMP.
 A severe solar flare can trash it and if I remember correctly MB's was taken out by a dead battery..
I would NEVER trust important items like access to guns to an electronic device if there a mechanical or manual option.

Thankfully not everything fits in the safe...  ;D
