Can an S&G 6120 electronic lock be replaced by anyone or is this a job for a locksmith? I have one that is not working consistently.

Electronic locks are a lot easier for a do it yourself replacement than mechanical. As with all things there are some tricks and other things you'll need to be mindful of.

I wouldn't replace it with another 6120. From the sounds of it your safe likely is out of warranty, but if it isn't, working on it yourself will void it.

I don't know what the electronic lock was in my former gun safe (probably Chinese), but I had to use the skeleton key override a few times. What has to be done if a lock defies all attempts to open it?

A1abdj, you are correct, warranty is long gone on this one. Where would be a good source for me to purchase a replacement better than simply buying another 6120? I don’t see any SAVTA techs listed near me. Most of the locksmiths advertising here focus on auto lockouts, not safe work.
