The packaging job is next level, with wood inserts. Got mine assembled and bolted down. Very solid. Added vibration sensor and door sensor connected to Apple HomeKit. As well as a rechargeable motion activated light from Amazon. I opted to cut out the baseboard around the cabinet so that it would sit flush to the wall in the closet. Mine has the new keypad with biometrics. It’s a nice touch.
When you have a chance, replace your screws with 2"+ and cut out your wall base molding so you can get the back of the safe flush against the wall so a bad guy can't get the leverage to pull it off the wall. Might slow him down a few more minutes, anyway.
I live in a blue state which requires a gun safe, by law. True, 99% of locks and doors etc. keep amateurs and honest people out. What they do very well though is slow the bad guy down. An alarm blaring, dog barking & biting, and neighbors looking, makes the bad guy hurry and make mistakes. Keeping him long enough from picking the whole thing up and running out the door with it helps big time. Bolt it to a stud and an oak floor and hide it in a closet with hanging clothes around it hopefully slows him down enough to leave before getting caught.
I see. It’s pretty good for what it is. If basic lockbox without fire protection is needed there are other modular options, some cheaper. I also don’t really care for all the extra stuff I ordered with it, all it needs really are the plates for the stocks and the top barrel holders. Of course that’s my use, which is mostly long gun.
That big gap at the top of the door, looks like it's begging for a heavy duty crowbar to be wedged in it. You'd think that maybe some tighter tolerences with the gaps, would make it less easy to destroy the front door with a crowbar.
Some parts say mexico. But yea :/ there snapsafe too and stack on, All the same I imagine. V-line has some smaller USA made ones, from there it goes to the traditional heavy liberty USA safes
@@traxxattacks Don’t count on any fire protection from any of these safes, even if it keeps the flames out, the heat will most likely destroy anything inside!

Good thinking!

It's very thin only 16 & 17 gauge steel. Just ordered one & that's what they told me.
not 14, now 16Ga. Was 14years ago. Nice product. I want one.

its more like a lockbox than a safe really. Just to prevent kids and honest guests from getting in
Shocked to find out, Made in China.

@@shaunstayfree5551 Shocked made in China....did you forget to add: #sarc.
expensive for how small it is
That’s True… but even a metal file cabinet or the Hornady versions are pricey too. This on sale wasn’t too bad.
@@shaunstayfree5551 i spent 499 for a winchester 24 gun safe with 45 min fire protection so this seems expensive to me
@@traxxattacks good deal

@@scottamy6496 even if you discount all fire protection it was still cheaper and larger
