I was surfing the internet for a combination lock circuit and stumbled across this site on how to do it. I love the way it is so intuitive and you get a "Enter" button and feedback LED's on whether you did the code right.
for those not familiar with what circuit I am talking about:

My question is the Dip switches are very small to fiddle with. Can I replace them with a set of ordinary switches? or do Dip Switches have a characteristic about them that would prevent such a swap? and if they do what kind of switches? On/Off or ones that divert the circuit path?
Purpose for this curcuit. I play paintball, and my friends and I like to do scenario games at my grandfathers farm. We was wanting to do a defuse the bomb scenario, but wanted an intense defusing period before time ran out. (note the "Bomb" payload is just a loud DC speaker one you don't want to go off when your right next to it )
This is why a easy combination and lart tactile switches are needed so anybody can set and defuse the code especially in the heat of battle when paintballs are whizzing over you
by the way what would I have to do to get this circuit to turn off power to the timer when the correct code is set?
Thanks for your guy's time,
