Safe ... "safey-ness"


Recommended Posts

So... curious. I have a basic safe, not unlike what you get from the big box stores. It's a champion brand, with a dial lock.

I'm pretty certain that smash and grab aholes couldn't get it out of where it is. It was a PITA for me and the 2 delivery dudes WITH A DOLLY to shoehorn it into where it is.... empty. Now it's full of heavy ammo and stuff.

So outside of cutting, how difficult is it to defeat the lock itself?

It's not really possible to get to the sides or back without tearing down walls (plaster) and / or going under the house to unbolt it.

I don't think they're even likely to have the room to try and pry it open. It has juuust enough room for me to open it up and get in and out.

And where I'm at, they ain't gonna have hours to work at it. That's why I'm wondering how secure those dial locks are?

If it's an S&G 67XX (Sargent and Greenleaf) it's a quite stout dial lock at least compared to the rest of most consumer marketed safes. ;) I'd worry more about the box it's attached to if anything.
