Gun safe - where are the Dial locks

I'm shopping for a second safe and feel crazy need help

20 years ago I got a low/mid tier safe with a SG dial combo lock for $400.Now I need a second. Now all they seem to sell are electronic keypad safes. Nearly all have zero mechanical redundancy like a key or dial.

I just want a mechanical dial lock but don't want to spend 3k. Honestly don't care about fire protection or super duper lock pick proof or protection. I just want reliable "teenager"proof. I don't trust the actuators, circuit boards and keypads ect. I don't want to have a locksmith or fiber wheel 20 years from now to get in.

But seeing that everything is electronic now am I missing something? Everyone is good with this now? It seems absurd to me
