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?

For the same effort you can build a trap door or fake wall, and leave the safe empty but locked as a decoy that will be looked at first in the event of a break-in. They'll crow bar it or take power tools to it and might even get it open. Maybe leave a .22 rifle in there or whatever just to get them to really commit to wasting their time. If it's not bolted down they'll take off with it.

We kill squirrels with the 22. Dont want to lose that to a beaner.
