small safe!

Postby alexdrahos » 31 Jan 2013 12:16

Hello.

i have a small safe in my house. it looks like this https://www.safefile.com/small-home-safe.htm

id like to know how i can protect it from unwanted hands on it.
i saw that it can be open by [SNIP! Please read the rules about discussing Bypassing in the public forum. -Squelchtone] but i dont figure out how it works. only open once and never again.

what other ways of cracking it there are?

thanks
ps sorry my english

Reason: Please do not discuss actuall bypass or safe cracking techniques in the open. I dont care if it is already all over the internet on 'other' sites.

Hey mate,

First of all, you should post a picture showing the actual safe. How do we know if it is really yours, heh?? 8)

We don't discuss safes and that kind of bypass on the open foruns. You have to be an Advanced member to do it.

I won't go into details, but if you want to protect it you can follow these simple steps:
1. If you have something of real value, you need to get another safe. Those safes are low security.
2. If you still want to keep it, it would be beter if it was wall-mounted (it doesn't stop [SNIP! naughty naughty!] completely, but it makes it harder)
3. By wall-mounting it you prevent another kind of bypass that I won't specify in here :)
4. If you can't do it, cover the holes on the back and bottom of the safe (they come with screws, you can use them, just be sure they can't be taken out from the outside) - I can't really tell you why, but it's important.

One thing you can't do anything about is the lock. They usualy come with tubular locks (besides the electronic keypad), and unless you glue it (and you won't be able to use it) it's a weak spot. :lol: :lol:

Bear in mind that these kind of safes are best to stay mounted somewhere, since they are light (5kg??) and small.

That's all I can say for now!

Be safe!

Mods: Since these safes and their flaws are so widespread over the internet, I don't think I "talked too much", but if so, feel free to delete :P
Go ahead, keep plugging away, picking on me! You will end up on bypass or with rigor mortise.
