Most electronic systems will have measures to defeat such probing. Typically after two or three wrong codes, some timer will be invoked during which all codes will be considered wrong, and each further wrong code entered will double the timeout. Might be even worse in that after so many wrong codes, no code will ever open it, like the PIN numbers for SIM cards and cash cards and some car radios.

All,
I have recently come into posession of a hilka safe. I followed th explanation on how to reset the combination okay, but as I lack th instruction manual I cannot work out how to actually lock my Hilk safe.
Nothing I do seems to actually lock it.

A web search should bring up the .pdf user instructions for this.
I have a Hilka electronic combination safe, and to lock it you just shut the door and turn the handle. Bingo - it's locked. You then have to enter the combination in order to be able to turn the handle to unlock it.
