Re: Looking for a new safe

But when the base weight is combined with the contents and the ammo cans on top, it easily pushes 1000lbs. As for how it was attacked, I'm not quite sure. It appears that the thief didn't even try moving it. If I had to guess, the thief cranked on the handle hard enough to activate the relocker. This is based on the lack of any kind of tool marks on the exterior of the safe, and the fact that my emergency keys seem to work, but with no motion of the handle.
Sorry you had it happen, unfortunately somebody now knows you have it & may return.
I agree w soccerdad1995 about the solid core door & deadbolt. Anything to slow them down & maybe stop 'em Can you bolt thru the
drywall into a couple studs ? That leaves a simple hole that can be repaired but gives a little more security.
My safe is over 1000 lbs empty and when we bought a new place I had it moved (empty). I unbolted it. They pulled up, 2 guys, & just like
when it was delivered, 6-7 min later & they were gone :shock: . No dolly inside the house. They were being careful. The really scary part
was as they were getting back in their truck, w my safe on the trailer, the helpers pant leg rode up on his leg & revealed his ankle bracelet. :???: Thankfully, because we own, besides bolting it at the new place, I walled it in. A wall now needs to be removed to remove the safe :lol:
Yes, it now stays w the house.
