I am purchasing a Liberty Lincoln Gun safe. I was thinking about getting the electronic lock , but I am unsure about which would better. The dealer told me that most guys like the mechanical lock. Any help would be appreciated.

I am a fairly accomplished machinist, and trust over electronically controlled apparatus, mechanically controlled. It may be the difference between finding a locksmith to open your safe over that of finding a safecracker, in my humble opinion, at least.
When in doubt, go for no batteries as batteries may not be available when you need them most. IMHO, anyhows.

Opinions are like azzholes, eveyone's got one, and this just happens to be mine!
A call to S&G only get you a list of authorized smiths and zero support as their lawyers won't let them even talk to you.
Just for info S&G says you need to have the lock serviced anually for best results. Now I'm sure I can afford that only if I got to locksmith school and get certified by S&G.
Guess I should move back to the big city

Thats my experience with electronic safe locks.
If you have young eyes, take your pick, dim light and visually challenged should use electronic lock.
My 2 cents.
I have a S&G mechanical on my safe for the past 3 years with no issues. May not be as fast as a electoric but I feel mechanical are more reliable. Also the number pad on a electronic can wear out after time.
