I have a sentry pistolbox, that locks/unlocks if I push up twice with my double dimond pick. That's crap. I think I payed $10 for it. :roll:

What exactly did you expect for $10?

by **Gear Head** » 5 Jan 2006 16:33

Something you could tear open by rolling pliers? Yea, good stuff. I had a old silver fireproof box I lost they key too, but that took atleast a half minute to pick open.

I had one of those money banks when I was younger that had a cruddy wafer lock... I lost the key, so ended up forcing a piece of plastic into it...

it turns out the lock had only one wafer and just ramming a piece of old credit-card platic into it and turning unlocked it... I still have the box now, and still use that strip of credit-card to unlock it lol.

$10?? I'm not overly suprised to be honest..

I still can't feel pins. I thought i found one of those mushroom security pins in the back, switch picks, opens, opens, opens. I still need to get started with the single pin lock.

I have an hour before work. I think I am going to do just that, and see if I can pick up a lock or two as the $10 box is > me.

I have a piggy bank that has a plastic plug in the bottom of it. Every time I insert a flat blade screwdriver under it, and apply a little twist on the handle, the darn thing opens.

Total junk. I am bringing it back to the dollar store. And, I am going to demand to get my um, DOLLAR back! :twisted:

Im not returning it if that was implied.

Rotary pick works too, one quick squeeze and it opens every time.

Almost every cash box is crap. Especially the ones with an L&F lock on them.

Returned to the scene of the crime, bought one of those keyed on both sides deadbolts from wally-world, its kinda nice, the back unscrews, and you can just swap out pins. It has 2 security pins in it, but since it's 2 locks you can trade them out. "Mountain Security" was the brand.

Yeah it was only 10 bucks? Try a gun safe

haha reminds me of the padlock barry stuck the end of a pick in it and pushed up hard and popped the lock open...

I dont know about texas, but in new york, police stations give free gun locks. i shouldgo down and pick one up (even though i dont need anymore)

by **Gear Head** » 6 Jan 2006 17:23

Yea, they do that here too. I bought the gun with a big yellow padlock that has a cord that slides through the chamber.
A few months ago before I moved here for college, a group of my best friends decided they wanted some guns and paid me a visit when I wasn't home. They are in jail and I have my stuff back but yea, its just paranoia on my part with locking things up.
Sadly, I have a whole garage of metalworking tools, so If someone had the time, a cheap safe wouldn't fix the problem. I'm sure I will think of something.
