My father has a safe that has a tricky to remember combo. He can't remember the pattern so now about 20k worth of guns are stuck in a glorified paperweight. Can it be converted to a keypad lock or would it be cheaper to just buy that type of safe?

Keypad locks take batteries and suck. I hate mine. Hit the first 2 or 3 or whatever numbers in your combo and leave the safe a half turn from the final number. Anyone seriously trying to steal guns is just going to cut the safe open anyways or rip it out into a pickup.

To be honest I don't even know why he has it anymore. It was when we were kids and he didn't want us to shoot ourselves in the face. But he was smart and trained us on how to use guns correctly. Personally I think he should just get a gun cabinet and call it a day. But he wants a safe.

If his house gets broken into when he is not there, at least the guns stay out of the hands of criminals.

Well that's a good point actually. He decided he's now going to live in the south for 6 months out of the year. The neighborhood he lives in is more or less uneventful. There's richer parts of town. Unfortunately though it borders a city that's filled with border jumpers and general shit. Not a lot of niggers because they can't afford the area anymore.
