Whether they are mechanical or electronic, safes offer strong protection against attacks thanks to its durable steel and filling of concrete and metal structure. The difference is that electronic safes are equiped with an electronic lock instead of a mechanical combination lock.
The electronic combination lock is programmed with a user code that allows to open the safe. Usually it presents an alphanumeric keyboard with LED message display and audio & visual warnings and code confirmation. You have the ability to change the code at any time. These locks also offer the possibility to configure multiple users, settle a schedule, delays, etc. They usually have internal battery power (with the safe door closed, you will be able to connect to the system from outside).
As happens with a credit card or other identification process, the lock will be blocked after the introduction of several wrong codes in order to protect the safe content. These locks are as strong as mechanical as they also have a protection against drill.

Recommendations regarding electronic locks
Some electronic models may have an emergency key to open the safe without having to introduce the password in the electronic device. This mechanical lock is usually located in the batteries compartment. In case you'd forget your password you could use the emergency key.
Remember to keep your emergency key or password in a safe place away from the safe. If you are afraid to forget where you let it or your code, you should first settle some familiar clues to help you to remember how to find the key or get the password. Do not keep password on your computer and neither your mobile, and separate emergency key from the code note. Find a safe place and a strong password. Do no use typical codes as 12345, 252525, date of birth, etc.
