I'm not a safe expert but I assume a trained locksmith can open any safe with the proper time & tools and they don't really need a "drilling template" (whatever that is)? I'd also imagine the feds know the more popular safe manufacturers' design?
Nothing is totally secure, but at least make the bastards work for it.
There’s a chasm of difference between the government breaking into your safe and the manufacturer of the safe enthusiastically giving the government total access.
You're looking at this all wrong. This is great customer service! They knew the feds would break in to the safe anyway, probably making it unusable, so they just let them in so that their customer's "safe" wouldn't be destroyed!
"My safe survived a fed raid in perfectly usable condition! 5 stars!!!"
Honestly that would have been the perfect comeback for the company on twitter. They'd have still been raked over the coals, but it's better than turning off comments and going dark.
Even then the maker will supply the feds with the drilling template so they can open it, it'll just take longer.

Unless the safe is something very special, just about any safe can be opened with a big grinder with a cutting disc. It just takes time.
The only safe that is un-break-into-able is one that is un-accessable even to the owner.
You can cut anything with a torch and enough time.
A trained guy can cut that time down.
