A safe store or safe professional usually has the proper equipment to move one.
@NWSafeCo
Thanks for setting me straight. I apologize for putting out bad info. I must have ASSumed it was from Graffunder since they feature the video prominantly on their website.
@MorteWulfe
Most of the time they will use what tools you have at the house. We have seen in some instances them bringing in their own pry tools. It doesn’t take long to break open an entry level safe, so I dont see whats not smash and grab about this.
@teller121
Most of the time it takes a certain level of expertise, time, and the proper setup to use a plasma on a safe. I have never seen a safe succesfully cut open with a saw, a plasma, or a torch in our area. I have seen attempts, but they were failed attempts. Most of the succesful attacks I have seen involved prying the safe open.
@NWSafeCo
We sell everything from entry level safes, to the top of the line safes, and all in between.
@NWSafeCo
Well I guess your going to put live wires through your safe hehe wait they’ll cut power man this sucks why don’t you just make a under water safe >.<
@NWSafeCo as an outsider looking an a safe can be essentially theft is a residential environment.
@teller121
It wasn’t a pro job, it was a theft ring. They are usually more like in the middle. Honestly it doesn’t take much to figure out how to cut wiring on the side of a house, set the alarm off, and see if the police show up. They left the safe inside alone and completely untouched, it was a Liberty Lincoln 50.
@badgerattoadhall
You lost me on that one.
@NWSafeCo Holy syntax malfunction! What I was saying a high end safe is probably for all intents and purpose “theft proof” for your run of the mill residential bugler
@badgerattoadhall
Yes, I would say so.
You should always bolt the safe to the floor/wall. And place the safe so that it’s side is against a wall, with the side opposite the hinges closest to the wall (the side they were working on in the video). It is VERY difficult to get any leverage then to pry open the safe. Someone could still break it open; but it would be much more difficult.
your safe should be bolted to the floor, or wall or in a corner like I did so they cant get any leverage.
Cool video and obviously there are going to be different variants in a house to house situation.. I think a lot of people missed the point of the video and started using criminal mentality of what they would do or defense mentality on bolting it down etc.. The point is that if you buy a shitty made safe it will be easier to break into..
@mixwell1983 Exactly.
@bellgareth Not really. All you would need is leverage and leverage can be gained very easily with a pry bar. Also having the safe standing up removes the problem of the weighing so much. So I would say it makes it easier to get into if you bolt it to the floor next to a wall like you suggested.
@dellhater Just to let yk I had a safe that the key was lost and combination was forgotten. It was bolted to the floor and against the garage wall. I used my prybar to get into it in just over 5 mins. The fact that the door was very heavy made it very easy. The sad thing is that after that I unbolted it from the concrete floor took it to the middle of my yard and started beating the shit outta’ it for fun and with a crow bar; I was able to puncture the sides very easy and pry open a large hole.
@NWSafeCo THATS BS I HAVE A UL-TL-30 BURGLANY RATING SAFE FOR MY GUNS!!!
This video sucks you are just trying to scare people of the possibility of being robbed just to make money.
Two desparate theives reach your house in the middle of the night and try to open your safe without no luck they take you as hostage and try to force you the combination and they get it.They open the safe and not much of value is found they kill you beacuase you know there identities.
The theif just want stuff of value keep it in your house and if you get robbed give it to them don’t put your self in danger.If you have some REALLY important stuff keep it at the bank or hide it.
@mmnp43 my reason for a safe is to store guns, if your home while someone is breaking in just shoot them
@mmnp43 Your supposed to keep one firearm out of the safe so if someone breaks into the house you can shoot them (bedside pistol box). If you are taken hostage as you come home, then the idea is that you used your concealed carry gun as you enter the home. Your also supposed to have an alarm system so it notifies you if they break in the house and your asleep. If your gone then the police would be on the way. So…….now what?
@mmnp43 Your being un-realistic. The idea is to inform people of what they are buying. They can make their own decision on what they buy, we don’t make them buy anything.
excellent how to video thanks guys, I was using the short crowbar but now I know just to get a better mechanical advantage, I mabye will include the long pry bar with a cheater pipe thanks for the info
@NWSafeCo well put. I too keep a firearm at the ready and also carry concealed when not at home. this video was my inspiration to build my own safe. as a machinist I found most safes are built in a fashion that gives you a false sense of security. the majority have locking bolts that engage a bent sheet metal edge. not something thats very secure at all. in fact many of them are imported from china and re-branded. don’t believe it? do your due diligence and do the research for yourself.
