What do you do when the electronic lock runs out of sparks?

I buy another handful of sparks. I thought everybody did that.

I assumed (yes the mother of all fuck ups) that one could not gain access to the lock/batteries/electronics from the outside.....doesn't seem very secure compared to a key.
However even a "E" safe is barely a minute to get into with no key or code but the tools for the job.....end of the day if they know you have what they want they will come tooled up not looking for keys or codes.

I just have a wee safe with some bolt actions. Seriously, if I had a large / expensive collection it would be worth the fun of rigging a cheap safe out with a few crappy thin wood screws fixing it to e floor, to encourage them to dislodge it. Cram it with a few iron pipes, pieces of wood inside. Weld shut in a way not apparent from the outside to ensure they'll simply not be able to open it but rather must take it with them at the cost of not carrying off something more valuable. MDF on inside of it so they can't use disc cutters without generating a lot of smoke. A few cups or a deep pan tray almost filled to the brim with gentian violet solution on a top shelf, to ensure they'll look like smurfs once they start shifting the thing.

and if they are really keen, they will come when you are sleeping and rudely wake you, before politely asking for the safe to be opened.
