It seems like there are some bad assumptions floating around regarding the Liberty Safe situation. Here are some things to think about. 1] The problem is not exclusive to digital locks. Liberty Safe also stores the mechanical dial combo codes and the key number for ALL safes they sell. Those are tied to the serial number and the customer name. And they are not the only company that does this. You would have to change the analog dial combo with a special tool, and/or replace or rekey the keyed lock tumbler that came with your safe to ensure Liberty does not have access to mechanical locks. 2] In order for Liberty Safe to be legally required to disclose the codes, they must be served a warrant or subpoena specifically directed at the company for the specific customer info in question. That did not happen in this case. The warrant was directed at a 3rd party [the customer], so Liberty had zero obligation to comply. They did it because they wanted to, as per their "company policy". 3] People are asking "how did they know he had a Liberty Safe?"... easy, they entered the home, and saw the safe. All Liberty safes are branded with Make and Model, as well as a serial number sticker on the inside and the outside of the safe. And 4] for those saying "the gov would have just broken into the safe anyway"... ok, yes. That is true. But why is the "safe" company making it so easy for them?... one call, that's all.
