To whom it may concern. I have a question about the the Titan pivotbolt lock, I read the spec and it said this. Quote. " The lock bolt model withstands 225 lbs. (1000 newtons) of bolt end pressure for a high level of security in boltwork blocking applications." So the question is, what if you apply more that 225 lbs of force to the opening handle, will the lock fail and the bolt retract, opening the safe?
The handle or spindle or internal part will break - if it's properly designed so that amount of force will never reach the bolt. So in a good safe that's accounted for ;)
If an attacker breaks down the keyboard and leaves the wires in thought, is there a solution to open, logically with his own code that will be stored inside the lock, by mounting another equal keyboard?
Nothing or you'll fry the brain of the lock making it even harder to get in. They're not so dumb they're wires directly to the motor. It's power and keypad input to the back and as the others says it's the back that's the brain that interprets keypad inputs. Overloading those wires does nothing but destroying those inputs on the micro controller they're attached to. It's not a $10 china safe ;)
Why alkaline batteries? Duracell or not they're prone to leaking if you do not take actions to prevent it (change it regularly whether or not you think it's empty - but reality is most people do not so hey suddenly you'll have a leak!!). Better yet a brand name lithium. Lasts much longer and no risk of it leaking.
HifiCentret Lithium is not a good choice for safes. Every single safe manufacturer and locksmith recommends alkaline. Main reason is when lithium dies, it dies. you get no warning the battery is dying. Alkaline will beep for a long time when its almost dead so you know
How long should one expect a duracell 9volt battery to last if accessing the safe every day or every other day with an S&G pivotbolt lock & keypad?
what are your thoughts about the titan d-drive vs pivot bolt e-locks? is one more issue prone than the other or more working parts?
I would say .. when you change your code .. do it with the door open .. so if anything goes wrong .. your safe is open ..

good question, i would also like to know this..
what if you put a 9v battery to those phone wires ?
Nothing. the keypad sends digital signals through those wires that the chips in the locking mechanism uses to decide if it'll unlock or not.
Nick Jones So the "brains" are on the inside of the safe so it cannot be tampered with.

so if you ram the lock with a hammer, you have entrance to the safe... in a few seconds.
That would set off the relocker and lock the bolt mechanism
I watched this video to see the operation of the pivot bolt, but you didn’t show the lock from the back when you opened it. I’m very disappointed!
Just got my safe open mine quit working I do not recommend this
