I have a cannon safe with the battery powered key pad. Does anybody make a mechanical dial replacement or conversion for these?

If you can change the oil in your truck or car and hit steel at 100yds you can swap the lock out and reset a new combination.I've looked online and from what I read, there is no standard replacement kit to change it. But, I have read a really good post on AR15.com with pics and model numbers. It looks straight forward. I have 2 safes I want changed over. I can get the S&G Combo Locks 6730 ( I think those are the ones I need) for under $100 total. Just need to get up the gumption to do it.
But that's not the end of the cost/benefit analysis. Does the mech lock make it more or less likely that a break in attempt might succeed? That you can get into the safe after a fire? That you won't be accidentally locked out? If you have insurance that warranty is only worth so much.I was really considering doing this. However, after looking on their website if I read it correctly. It will void the warranty if it is ever broken into, or damaged.

I changed the combination on my existing S&G lock on my Superior Safe.Have you done this? What brand of safe and what brand of locks?

It is really just remove and replace job. Sample video to remove the electronic lock.
I would call a local locksmith and see what they charge to do it. I know people who’ve had it done but didn’t do it themselves

I was quoted $225 including all hardware.I have an electronic keypad and have been wanting to convert it for a little while now. Last year I called a locksmith and was quoted $200 if I supply the parts.
I’ve had my Drake for a year and a couple months, and I still can’t remember which way I need to start turning the dial...every time.And after a few days of playing with it like a kid with a new toy, I'm about as fast opening it as I was with the keypad.
I have done it twice once on a small security file cabinet someone had broken the dial off of and again on my Winchester safe to change out the keypad. As @Gazengine said the locks had the same footprint and mounting locations. Just pay attention to the orientation of the lock body as it makes a difference if not resetting the combination.
I purchased a S&G takeoff of a liberty safe, unknown combo. I figured out the combo prior to installing the lock and never changed it from that.
If you have the combination key it is easy to change the combo to whatever you desire. There are plenty of videos on Youtube.
