Prevent knocking attack on cheap safe boxes

OK - * Please read here for more info! * - preventing is probably to take the mouth too full. But this simple modification has made it a lot harder since the timing now has to be very exact. You just can't apply a very tiny force on the handle while knocking and let it slip down as it'll now be caught by the false groove I've made in the solenoid shaft. Further more I've adjusted the tolerances to a minimum. From the factory the solenoid shaft only just locked the deadbolts. Now the solenoid has to be fully retracted to allow movement of the deadbolts. I also have a plan to replace the reset button with one with a key to prevent someone from drilling a hole to the reset button. But lets see if I do that before replacing this cheap crap which I have had for too long (10 years at posting!) before finding out how easy it is to bypass. Of course you can also drill a hole elsewhere and push down the solenoid but guess most burglars will either do the knocking or reset button attack. But for now it's now a tiny bit more safe. Please note it do have a semi decent tubular key for emergency. Many newer ones has crappy wafer locks "floppy disc box locks" which can be picked in few seconds - not this one. But as said I plan to soon replace this crap with something better. Like the Yale Certified safes or perhaps a real heavy safe. But bolting a lighter one solidly to a concrete wall is no problem where I live. But perhaps I'll keep it and install it visibly so in the event of a home ...
