Strongrooms, Steel boxes and cabinets, and Safes require 2x locks, while Rooms of stout construction seem to only require 1. That fucks my safe.

From a security perspective, I wonder how a Group 1 combination dial compares to a 5-lever mortice lock.

Buggers me too, my safe only has one digital combo lock with a single key lock backup. It would be interesting to know how many people have the Sentry Safe like me and how the police are going enforce their "new rules"? I was planning on building a "room of stout construction" anyway, but whats to stop them changing their mind on that too?

Here is a legal opinion on the crap the police are saying, last part is cat A but it is all interesting reading.

It isnt law a case has to go to court for that for a decision I believe.
