I was think of buying this little guy for my parents to put there things in, i choose this one becuase the studs in there room i can make a recessed cavity to fit the safe in and make a semi private storing place. Any thoughts on the choice of safe?

Its not maximu security, but will allow safe storage i belive, but the demensions are perfect.

All opinions welcome.

Whats wrong with your dresser drawer?

What ever it is your going to put in that thing just send it along to me. Save me the time and trouble of doing an Ip trace and then getting your address. Then A midnight visit with my boot to your backdoor and I got that safe I was going to Buy at Walmart for free.

Woot Woot!!!
Joke.

Thats not to bad but a bit pricey if you ask me. That Pad on the front looks like a front. Wanna bet if you just rip the thing right off the face of that safe and hook up 5volts to one of the wires left hanging and the others just bundled and grounded on the box itself the door will open.

Uhh?? well to solve the robber thing my dad has a 357 mag, and i got a nice mossburg 12 gauge for clay shooting i could make an exception. I asked for an honest answere, i am to tired to argue. I will let someone else answer inteligently.

Mods don't lock this becuase of the idiotic comment above just delete the post. I proboly should have posted this in the advanced forums but i figured more intelligent opinions would be better.

Due to what he said, just PM me if you trash this and i will repost it in the advanced area.

In my limited experiance and with limited opinions i would actually get a safe with a dial rather than an electronic one,

by **LockNewbie21** » 9 Jul 2006 11:51

Sounds good i dont want spliterass up there getting a buck shot. Any recomendations on a good dial safe. I doesn't have to be anything fancy i will do some searches. maybe an ebay specail who knows, jsut a little box of thick steal for my rents to put papers and stuff in.

LMAO someone is real touchy this morning.

I did give you some advise. Sure i joked a bit but I think I said that the box is ok the locking mech sucks and if your getting it for just tyhe box the price is a bit high.

As for all of that being said if its just for papers and it fits what you need then by all means go for it.

Arrange your own shipping though cause them things can cost an arm and a leg depending on how you get them shipped.

Arrange for a Trucking company to go do a pick up at the sellers.

Better yet search your yellow pages for lockies that handle safes and ask them what they have in the way of used. You can often pick them up for real cheap as to the lockie the things are taking up space and he got it free by removing it during a new safe install.

And no offence was trying to lighten your day a bit. Sorry it didn't work!!!

a sub shop gave me a drop safe i'v had it for monthes trying to get it open. i'll do it i no i will.

theres a big chain lock shop that does safes. they have a whole show room and half are used. i would look in the phone book. you could get a better deal.

The subway across the street from where I work had a very simular safe installed so the clerk could drop the money into it if the boss didn't come to make the deposit. One Saturday morning I went to work early to finish some paper work and saw the police parked in front of subway with the front door smashed. I found out from one of the girls that worked there the theifs took the whole safe, they had just pryed it from where it was bolted and took it with them.

... and/or installed behind a fake wall, floorboard in a closet, behind a (latched to the floor) bookcase... be creative. No one knows where my safe is, and no one has ever found it. I've invited police officers [friends] over to do a "search" before, no luck at all. They were amazed at where it was, knew it was hidden, and that no one came close to finding it. :wink:

i new someone that had a good safe built in to a filing cabinet. they only told me because they sold it to the locksmith that worked on it. the guy had to have it he gave them a good buck.

Sorry assweasel.. ask shrub, i haven't slept in three nights, anyway i have a tendency to be one minded sometimes, ignore it. I did get to sleep today thank god. And also appreciate the shipping information. As far as the buckshot things go... its actaully a joke that me and a few buds use becuase when we were at the range, we told my buddyy kept wondering why he missed the clay targets... well he bought a full pack of blacks, So it was humorous.

Lol believe oyu me i am about the untoughest guy around. I prefer the lover side than i fight... i just more rewarding in the end

Any way sorry for my 3 year old moody whining. And my appologise, However, i am very curios as to were you got the name assweasel? lol Its actually one of the more humorous names.

Beats lock newbie, as long as i'm in here, the name will always label me a newbie... my poor skills at name picking.

You know Shrub, i believe this forum is turning into a counceling session for grammer structure and name picking problems

You should charge a per post rate :wink:

I read in some book.. scarlet letter or something? That there was a letter of vast importance that would really screw something up, anyway the guys whos office it was hidden in he was known for beign crafty inventivie and good at hiding.

Long story short they ripped floor boards, books, bookcases everything, were it was hidden in the place we usualy never find something lost, on his desk in the letter holder.

I would just hammer drill some hardened steal bolts into concrete to reinforce it... but make you wonder, if one could just put a cardboard box over it and though a junk pile of toys and magizines on and around it to blend in.

Funny how all that works with hiding things.

i dont know much about safes, but in know my mom bought a new safe for her and i didnt help her with it (didnt know she was buying one) and it turns out she bought like a sentry firproof safe, for birth certs, etc and it uses a tubular lock, i was shocked as i have never seen anything other than soda machines and bike locks that use tubular, anywho i wa glad at that because assuming someone was going to try and pick her safe open, they would have to buy an expensive tubular lockpick (the ones on SO are like $70 each.) so it felt like her safe is a bit more secure than the old one.

funny story, that old one I* inherited, was the FIRST lock i picked, freaking wafer lock with freaking 2 (yes 2!!!!!) wafers in it. took a flat screw driver and a bent up paperclip to pop. shame. and it was a sentry safe, which is a bigger name, low end safe company (at least in the states) in the US.
