Mechanical for me. I was a locksmith in the Navy and played with a lot of S&G, Mosler, Yale, LaGuard and others. Maintenance is pretty straight forward on all of them. Use graphite as a lubricant. Ya start using WD-40 or any other petroleum based lubricant, you are asking for trouble.

bass pro has stopped all digital combo sales. All their safes are now manual.
Cabelas only has digital in the more expensive safes.
I have a manual that needs something done to it. Not sure what, but when you dial in the combo and turn back to last digit to open, it doesn't always stop. You have to race the dial back and fourth a few times before it locks up and allows you to open the safe.
I need to fix it, anyone know what causes that?
Needs cleaned, and the PROPER lubricant in the RIGHT places. In the wrong paces, It will ruin a lock. Maintenance. by a professional. Save you money in the long run.
Thanks, I should probably lube it!

Dan, how often does this need to be done? Does it go by flat time, number of openings, Earth-Wind Currents? [;)]
Are there any indicators to watch for? My S&G has never given a hiccup, seems to function as good as new.
