I doubt that you would find anything new the same size at that price.Add on question....anyone know where I can find something of comparable size in the sub-$1000 range?
Anyone got a buddy with a big safe for sale?

Seriously considering swapping the lock.If you are up to it, you can always buy that safe and then swap out the lock for a S&G dial lock and you would be good to go for awhile
Interesting.Seriously considering swapping the lock.
Used to have a nice big Browning safe. It was attacked during a burglary (held up great), and the locksmith that drilled it open was discussing different lock types with me while he was working.

Burglars knocked the keypad off and tried to drive a rod through the main gear to knock it off track. Had to drill into the lock and manually force it into the unlocked position to get the bolts to move.Interesting.
First hand experience.
Why was a locksmith needed?

Just remember, most so called premium safes are only deterrents at best. Lock up any tools you may have (crowbars, hammers and anything else used to pry) away, don't give them any advantage. Unless they know you have a safe, they may not be prepared for it. Safes are also targets, they will want to see what's inside.
Mostly worked. With the force of the jarring that occurred, the safe should have gone into permanent lockdown. It did not. Upon disassembly, it was found to have been improperly assembled at the factory, and the lockdown pin safety catch had not been removed.I guess the safety features worked.
I have a dial lock on mine, but I figure they would try to do the same thing with it.
Every safe is a deterrent. If someone wants something bad enough, they'll find a way to get to it.Just remember, most so called premium safes are only deterrents at best.

True, but most box store safes are only 12 gage steel at best, that is thinner than 1/8". That is nowhere near as thick as the average bank vault.Every safe is a deterrent. If someone wants something bad enough, they'll find a way to get to it.
Heck, bank vaults and Fort Knox are "just" deterrents.

Also the position of the safe is something to think about to. My safe is positioned in such a way that it is only accessible through the door. Criminals would have a hell of a time getting to the sides, back, top or tipping the SOB over.
Absolutely agree.True, but most box store safes are only 12 gage steel at best, that is thinner than 1/8". That is nowhere near as thick as the average bank vault.
