#187933 - This is a low-security lock - or no measly 4-digit PIN

the customer calls "I have forgotten my code" and can the forever open every safe you made by the master code.

since this is for safes, I would provide a means of connecting them to a PC and have a means of you - and you only - reading the customer code via the net.

Don't worry - anything with a 4-digit PIN code is cheap enough that they can get a sledge hammer to open it and then buy a new one.

Next thing - no master code should, for obvious reasons, be the same between multiple installations. If the customer have a master code to open their lock, no one else needs to care.
