Dennis, if you use 4 digits there are 10,000 possible combinations. The
GE keysafes can use up to 6 digits. It would take days to go through
them.


That depends on the mechanism. Some locks you can tell when you
select the correct digit by a very slightly different feel to the
button you push and/or how the other buttons feel.

Having 4 5 or 6 digits to select certainly makes it harder but I
doubt impossible.
