Not how to start your day.
This morning i go to grab a bit of cash out of my safe and the handles strips out. This is a damn $300 safe and i immediately think to myself "Dont tell me the made the handle connections out of plastic.". So i go about my day think man i dont want to have to break into this thing. I get home and grab my makita 4.5 inch cutter, throw a metal blade on it, and go to work.
My level of disappointment in this sentry safe comes to fruition after about 5 minutes. Thats how long it took me to cut the back off of this damn thing. Granted its not a bank vault but damn really. So in short plastic parts for the handle connections and apparently all i need to do is cut my time in half and i can go brake safes for a living. Time to upgrade to an 8 in makita i guess.
I sent sentry safes an email on this garbage. I'll be waiting to see what they have to say about my level of disappointment with their product.

Re: Not how to start your day.
After reading one of Feynman's books years ago, I gained a casual interest in locks and lock picking.
From what I read, it's gotten to be really hard to get a good safe or lock. Most of them seem to be manufactured to look secure, and little more.
These took me a minute to find. I'm sure there are better ones out there.

Re: Not how to start your day.
Yeah. Most locks only prevent casual theft.
My brother had a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. Great car, but apparently the most worthless locks ever.
That car was stolen 3 times in DC for joyrides. Cops said a 14-year-old could do it in less than 5 seconds. The last time he didn't even bother to replace the locks, just used the keyless.
Also, welcome to the forums taprickd.
Cheers,

06-22-12, 10:27 PM #7I have a brinks fire proof safe... It is empty. I have a small lock box in my office... Never more than a grand in it. I find that banks a better suited to safeguard my money. At least there it is federally insured.
Some self employed folks might require more cash on hand than me.
