Unless you soldered the cable after installing the new lock there must be a plug at one end or the other to install the cable through the hole in the door. Have a great day, was just re-watching and was curious.
Interesting stuff but I would have tried to patch that ribbon cable myself. Hate to see otherwise good hardware go to waste. It would make a good lock for a DIY package drop off.
I think anyone could patch ends together,its when Cables are gone or missing due to burglary or vandalism or abuse that these come in handy. Plus this is a pretty posh section of town they don't like to get their hands dirty. I actually recycle or reuse most of the safe parts I can keypads, cables, etc.

Howdy from Texas! If that was the only potential problem with an electronic lock, I would have probably replaced my mechanical lock on my gun safe with one already. That is an easy fix with just a bit of solder and a bit of electrical insulation afterwards -- unless the break is inside the door of the safe and cannot be accessed from the outside... One thing that does concern me though is that most of the electronic safe locks appear to use a membrane type keypad. I've had those fail on me over the years, so I would not trust them on something like a safe. I noticed that AMSEC has what looks like a discrete key type of keypad on their ESL15 model. It also appears to have the same features as the ESL20, but is noticeably less costly. Do you deal with AMSEC locks and if so, what is your opinion on the ESL15 vs ESL20?
One of my employees changed the combo on my safe before he left. Is there a way to change the pad and get the safe open. I can do it with the cops present. There wasn't even anything in the safe. Sucks because the safe cost me $2000 and its built into the back room of the shop. Its 6 feet tall, 3500 lbs.
@@JPE_DRAEB ANY electronic lock will eventually fail. They are made to last 10 years MAYBE 20 if your lucky but they WILL fail. Mechanicals I have several still running over 100 years old!
easy bypass/patch as long as you know what and when!
have a great day

ESL 10 and 20 are good locks the 5 and 15 not soo much IMO!
@@hkssystemslocksafe2486 -- Is that an opinion of the lock body itself or the keypad unit? What issues do you seem to find with them?

Hope they use a different combination lol

Depends on the safe lock brand,even if drilling is required it's a very minor hole needed to open typically
What is better S&G Spartan (EMP Resistant) or Lgard keypad (not emp resistant)? Or should go with an S&G dial?
S&g dial..less issues and wayyyy longer life!!

@@hkssystemslocksafe2486 I wanna talk to you
lol really someone had to call for this?
I've had calls to tighten screws on doors? Never turn down money. Not everyone can be handy.
I'm sure the "posh" owner was in a panic when he/she "Broke their safe" & now couldn't get in -- oops!
