Is there a way to reprogram or replace the locks?

I have never understood why anyone would want an electronic lock on a safe.

If the battery goes dead, the safe gets struck by lightening, Russia hits us with an EMP or in a moment of panic you forget the combination you are locked out of your safe.

Give me the old fashioned Dial combination lock where muscle memory alone gets me in the safe and everything is simple mechanicals.

My last safe was special ordered with a mechanical dial lock. Seems they ship everything with electronic locks now.

Did not trust them, and ended up having my new lock “slip a wheel” and lock be out after a few months. Got it open with rubber mallet tapping and had a new dial installed.

They are EMP proof, but not absolutely faultless. Been thinking of getting a dual elect/mech lock.

yes, it is a Liberty and the tech set the combo of the new lock to the same as the original, which Liberty has, even for mech locks.

Another example of how the "Technology Trap" is getting tighter by the day, and will eventually close in on us.

Agreed, but try finding one.
