Mechanical combination lock safes
Mechanical combination lock safes belong to the most traditional types of vaults. As a rule, a mechanical dial safe has a wheel for inputting code combinations to lock and unlock it. The most common are 3 or 4 wheel locks that allow up to dozens of million combinations. The main advantages of mechanical combination locks are robustness and simple maintenance.
Mechanical key lock safes
The oldest yet still actual are mechanical key lock safes. They are closed and opened with a key. Although the key can be stolen and misused by a burglar, mechanical key lock has some benefits. Whereas the combination lock requires you to remember the combination, the key one doesn’t. When people know the code to open a combination safe, they can have access to it until the owner changes it. Meanwhile a person can open a key lock safe only when they have a key. Since the owner takes the key back, they no longer have access to the safe.
Lock ratings
The most popular system of mechanical safe lock ratings was suggested by Underwriters Laboratories. UL 768 standard specifies 4 ratings for combination locks called groups. Group 2 is the lowest rating that means that the safe cannot be opened by an unauthorized person with little experience of safe opening techniques. Group 2M lock is expected to withstand 2 hours of professional attempt to open it. Group 1 mechanical lock provides the highest level (20 hours) of resistance from a professional break-in attack. Group 1R has all the features of the previous group but can also withstand decoding using X-ray or similar technologies.
