1. An electronic lock for locking or unlocking a door of a safe, comprising:
a housing mounted on the door; an axis-shaped coder disposed in the housing; a dial mounted on the coder; a plurality of sources of illumination disposed in the housing; an electromechanical solenoid disposed in the housing; a latch bolt operatively connected to the electromechanical solenoid; a fastening unit disposed in the housing and including a clamping element put on the latch bolt; a pin tumbler lock secured to the housing and including a keyhole and a lever; a microcontroller disposed in the housing for controlling the coder, the electromechanical solenoid, and the sources of illumination; and a battery disposed in the housing for supplying electricity to the coder, the microcontroller, the electromechanical solenoid, and the sources of illumination; wherein a pressing of the dial presses the coder to activate the microcontroller, thereby activating the sources of illumination to emit light; wherein a rotation of the dial causes the coder to generate a coded signal which is in turn decoded by the microcontroller; and wherein in response to the battery being sufficiently discharged, an insertion of a key into the keyhole to rotate the lever rotates the fastening unit, thereby causing the clamping element to activate the electromechanical solenoid which in turn retracts the latch bolt from a locked position of the door to an unlocked position of the door.
