I use top end spin dial locks as part of my job and have for 20+ years. Top end electronic locks are now mandated. Still, the failure rate for the best electronic locks is 10x or more compared to the best mechanical spin dials (S&G). Those making the rules value resistance to cracking them non-destructively higher than reliability. We have drilled out MANY of the electronic buggers.

I don't think I have ever seen a gun safe with the best electronic locks. I would not buy a personal safe with an electronic lock. I would insist on an S&G or expect to replace the original cheap Chinese electronics with a good S&G spin dial.
