I’d highly recommend something with a dial for various reasons. The electronic ones are cool but you’ll be replacing batteries. I personally hate that aspect of it. If it’s cold where you’re placing it, they can sometimes be difficult to accept the info you’re inputting. Dials are like revolvers. Reliable and work when you need them to.
I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."

Do you mean if the wire is accidentally cut inside the safe? If the wire was cut outside the safe, you could just splice the wire back together.
I always wondered how you would get into an electronic safe if someone just smashed the electronic lock with a hammer. I suppose you would need to call a locksmith or order a new control from the manufacturer.

I agree for the above reasons. I have an electronic one that needs batteries now. I plan to replace it with one with a dial.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Mine came with emergency keys to open the safe when the battery dies or you forget the combo. Don't want to keep those in the safe or an easily found spot. AND: FYI: There's a video on U-tube that shows you how to zip open the side of a safe with a $12 angle head grinder and 10 minutes of your time!

Get a mechanical dial type lock, don't be dazzled by bells and whistles. That's what I thought too, until my second safe came with a electronic lock. The electronic is so much easier to open, Jim

The electronic is so much easier to open, Jim Likely easier for thieves as well. At least that's what I've heard. But I've also heard most safes are just glorified fire-protection boxes. Unless you've got one built into a wall.

No matter what brand you get (I got a dial. ) make sure it has locking bolts on at least 3 sides and all 4 is the best. Lot of the cheaper safes only have locking bolts on 2 side. If you cam get them on their back the can be opened with a pry bar. Google it..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8ViUdd-2LM
