I am in BFE up north. I bought a 30" Heritage Safe from Jay's about a dozen years ago and I have outgrown it. I get that another similar safe is better than a brand new double safe. But I also REALLY like my non-electric combination mechanism unless you can convince me otherwise...and so many safes seem to ONLY have the electronic keypad (i'd prefer the hinges are hidden as well, with so many they are not). Stores near me are Dunham's or Tractor Supply (or Jay's again), or the Internet. I have seen the SnapSafe info/thread, but that also has the keypad. I am less worried about break in/theft than fire or similar disaster.

The John Deere dealer here sold liberty safes as well. He gave employee pricing to a lot of us. Never saw a yellow and Greene one.

Non electric.

However, I don't recall a JD dealer that far North. Just looked, over 100 miles to closest one.

I think the electronic locks are decent, but deff not the cheap ones. Gotta spend pretty good dough to get a really nice lock. Same goes for mechanical also, just maybe not as much $ for security. They have different rated mechanical and digital locks.

In the end I went with a smaller Champion Model T, 12 gauge steel safe (my Heritage is 11 gauge)... This video helped a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3d_D33vOt8

I'm in Charlevoix, and I just bought a Champion from Jays, also my second safe. I started out looking at Liberty, but the Champion blows it away in every category. I got the internal hinges as well, because of where this one sits, and I love this thing! Jays was very negotiable on the price, and I even used the company they recommended to pick it up and deliver it ($272 complete...pick up/deliver/install).

Yeah, I got my Champion at Jay's at a good price, but brought it home with my pickup. FYI - It was made in Mexico.

I like liberty safes myself.

I have had a connon 36 inch for 15+ years. It has the hidden hinges, but an electronic key pad which I've had no issues with at all. I change the battery yearly when I change all of my home smoke alarms. Just another alternative for ya.
