In the research that I have conducted I cannot see any way to protect an existing safe with an electronic lock, other than enclose the entire safe in a Faraday cage. The question then becomes, are you willing to take that risk. If we have a major EMP attack and the lock fails this may turn a bad situation into one in which you do not survive. Because of the locks small size and the fact that it is partly surrounded by metal, it is possible that the lock may survive intact. The first question of course is, will EMP fry my lock. Not all safes with electronic locks have them. If the power source fails, you’re stuck, unless your safe has a physical key that will override the electronic lock. Electronic locking mechanisms are a real convenient, but at the same time they make me nervous because they need a power source. The question was will EMP destroy the electronic locks on your safes. I was recently asked a question about the electronic locks that we see on so many new safes.
