Yeah, I know....it sounds a little panicky but rather than take a chance on anything today I ordered two manual combination safe locks to replace my electonic ones. It would be just my luck...

all my locks and safes are manual.
I just duct taped a coffee can over my lock, EMP-effective.
The reason why I only use manual locks. ALL electronics fail eventually. Most within 10 years due to the migration from Lead to Tin in solder
****ing EMP? If you encounter EMP, don't forget to hold your AK away from your body. The melting metal may damage the government-owned boots, comrade.
My quick access electronic safes are, but they each have key backups.
No safe, no problem!
I'd have to think that anything produced for a global market within the past decade would be RoHS compliant?
Just avoid the 6741 - that is a consumer grade lock with a wider tolerance (+/- 1.25 digits instead of +/- .5) and zymac wheels instead of brass and aluminum.
Where you should be worried about EMP's is if they push through biometrics on guns. They could get it to where they require all personally owned guns to have biometrics on them "for safety", when in fact, if you had a standoff with the "authorities" they could easily disarm you by an electromagnetic pulse. Of course they will have traditional mechanical weapons.
None of my firearms are biometrics ready and I don't see that changing ever.
I'll be able to say that soon too!

Those will still be working when you are but a distant memory to your grandchildren.Great input!! Got a couple of 6730's for that exact reason
The nuclear blast triggering it would.An EMP (electromagnetic pulse) will not cause metal to melt.
