The idea of a wall safe has been firmly rooted in most people’s minds for years now as an item that fits into the wall, with a dial on the front of it which turns and clicks into place where necessary to read the combination. The idea of a safecracker is firmly linked to this concept, where someone turns the dial around until they hear a click, and continues this method until they have found the digits required. It was this (relative) ease of breaking the code that caused a major change in the way safes work.
The electronic wall safe works by means of a Personal Identification Number system (PIN). Much like any ATM system, it requires the entry of a numerical code (usually four digits in length which should be just about impossible to guess. For this reason combinations like birth dates, wedding anniversaries and significant years should be avoided when picking a PIN. In order to make the number impossible to guess, it is important to keep changing it but keep it “irrelevant” – using dates that have some major significance will make it easy for people who know things about you to guess.
If you keep the PIN as something abstract, unconnected to any dates of immediate and obvious significance, there is a less than 1 in 1 million chance of anyone guessing it. Some would say if they can manage those odds, they deserve whatever is in the safe. Now, while that may be going a little bit far, you should keep in mind that making it harder to guess is what will make the safe worth what you paid.
