After years with a Fort Knox with 4 replacement S&G E-pads, I just want a friggin key only lock. Something 20gun with shelves but compact somewhat? Does anyone know where to look?

Thanks

Why not just install a mechanical s&g lock on your safe? With practice it takes less than 15 seconds to open.
A keyed safe is not very safe!

They do make high security key locks for safes, and you can install those on your current gun safes as well.   Your local safe tech should be able to assist.

Combo lock with a key. There is a "Day Lock" feature. Close the safe, turn the wheel slightly to a notch and then you can lock the dial with the key. I didn't opt for an electronic lock. No regrets for me.

Well, Ft Knox sold me a dial lock but I have to install it on their lifetime warranty safe. They said it involved fitment of parts, etc.
Really!?

Yes really the spindle on the dial lock will
Be extra long due to varying door thicknesses and will need to be cut to work with yours. Also the key that ties the spindle to the lock mechanism needs to go in 1 of 4 slots depending on the orientation of your bolt work.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about. Call a safe guy.

I have converted 4 timedelay locks to s&g dials. It was not hard and they have been workng for years. If you use a key lock you will one day need it and cant find it.
