Identifying a type of lock

[TurnerGOFP]

I finally found one of these in my area. Bought it off the business where it was at for $20.

I was drywalling houses, and the Realtor/Owner had a lockbox similiar to these, though produced by Master. Needless to say, some genius came and hammered it right off the wall. Why anyone would risk jail time for an empty house, is beyond me, but I figured I'd throw in my two cents- not secure at all.

I've seen this happen at a commercial location I frequent, (box mounted on the electrical room door) so I recommended they reinstall it with a quarter inch steel plate on the reverse side of the door, and grade 8 bolts securing it to said plate.

2 weeks later, half the door was missing.. they were using a sledgehammer on it- and we had video. Stupid kids never noticed the new CCTV sign or the 2 HUGE box cameras pointed at that door..

Wow, haha, I'm almost afraid to ask what happened to the kids,
Was jailtime risked, once again, for an empty building?

hahaha, it was not an empty building....

Had some of the local and provincial Emergency Management agency offices contained within.. Yes, lets break into a building that contains police/fire/ems joint operations and senior brass.

I am familiar with these. In fact every Walmart in the US has one in the management office. It is where the key to the pharmacy is kept. Every night when the pharmacy closes the key is put back in there until the next morning. Only the pharmacist knows the code. Not even the Store manager has it. I believe that CVS also uses them from what I hear. They are made of a cast metal and are kinda tougher locks then they look.

After I started looking for these I found them everywhere.

Attach it with really long screws to a framing member of the house / building for added security. For even more security, put a shock sensor inside connected to an alarm system, so that if someone smashes on it, it'll set off the alarm!

Seems like a Knox box would be a lot more useful in some of these situations. These are really only for real estate where you just need to temporarily leave a key for a realtor to access/show a house for a couple months until it sells.

Care should be taken not to put too much into these. Specifically not big keyring. Had a customer put a key with a just too big ring on it Inside. Correct code and they pushed it shut. But the keyring applied a spring tension holding it locked. Customer called us to open. claiming it was broken. (We'd sold it the week before.) weren't they embarrased when i opened it after about 5 minutes. Using the code they'd set. Just had to use a big screwdriver to wedge to apply a pressure to release the tension of the keyring. hope that i'm not violating the advanced rules onthis with how to bypass it with the code
