 Bolting it to the floor made it easier.

Best bet with a safe like that is to bolt it down in a corner. Back left side corner neer a wall. You will never get the leverage with the house wall in your way. Just an idea

First of all, Sentry created this safe as a fire safe, with security features. The safe is marly meant to store items to protect from fire with the added feature to keep items locked. If a the person who bought the safe read the box - it would advertise more of a fire document storage safe more so
security safe.

I stopped someone who came to my house seeking to burglarize it. He came with a small "sports" backpack and nothing else. If you live in a suburban area in most cases most thieves will travel light and pick random homes to see if anyone is home. They typically aren't arriving with large crow bars, power drills, or vans to haul stuff away. -However I am sure that does occur. The guy who came to my home had nothing on him, he was looking to make a quick entry "smash and grab" pack his little backpack then walk out ...he didn't want to look suspicious after the "get-away" and he certainly did not park a car anywhere near our home as he didn't want his license being taken or for anything to look out of place (ie, a car that isn't supposed to be there). -we have neighbors who notice things like that.

So couple things;
1) this safe weighs about 160lbs, ...that right there will deter many thieves. How many are going to walk down the street carrying this thing? also, it will still be difficult to carry into your car or van had the thief arrived with one.

2) bolting this safe down and in a corner like a closet will make it much more difficult to break into as it will be difficult to get the proper leverage to pry it open as in this video.

2) W/o a crow bar its going to be much more difficult to get into this safe and take more time. In fact I think for the typical thief they wouldn't be able to get into it if they arrived at your home like our burglar did (empty handed in anticipation of just grabbing stuff from drawers and going).

Pretty much all safes can be broken into with the right tools or knowledge. However a safe will help in many cases, -its a lot better than keeping valuables in drawers ...as that is what most burglars are hoping for. If you have a camera setup w/ warning of intruder (these can be had for about $50 -look on Amazon) then you'll have warning of an intruder and the safe should buy you plenty of time to come home or have police arrive.

A safe alone should not be the entire security system. But as a part of your security can work really well.

I love how he said bolting it down will make it harder to pry it open... Bolting it down makes it harder to steal the whole safe but he would have never tried that safe open without it being bolted to the floor securely it would have just flopped around every time he tried

[kurtsonat]

I think you made it easier by bolting it down so you could get leverage.

having it bolted to the floor made it easier....It gave you a little video,

[ramsey]

What a complete waste of a good safe for this video...think of the children in Africa that could have eaten that safe. 

[PrankNetwork]

Thank you so much for having the music be so much louder than the guy who's talking. that's awesome. ツ

Home safes are to deter casual thieves, not professionals who came ready to break into a safe. And most safes aren't going to be bolted right out in the open. Instead, safes are going to be closets or corners that will make it much harder to get the leverage.

[blindbrailleable]

I don't have that giant pry bar in my garage but nice video.

[gloriajames]

Thank you,
I did just what you showed me. It took me an hour. I changed my batteries ..nothing. I tried all the expensive batteries. Nothing . I have had my safe for over 20 years.

[guillermodelgado]

Thank you. I will buy the tools tomorrow

[bengerman]

What if the safe wasn't anchored at all, he wouldn't have any leverage to pry with?

[Giaarmani]

Was anyone else distracted by how toned his legs are? Lol

[waynedavis]

Way to go. You just taught people how to steal other people's stuff. Your mother is proud of you.

[Christian-ydng]

So you have to break into it twice? Once to bolt it down and the second time to pry it open?

[philliplanfre]

Easy to use and clean. Very convenient.

[nitacruise]

Dear sir thank you for making this video I had the handle stripped out . And somebody tried to drill it out. So I could not open it anymore. I did not have my safe bolted down. it took two females an hour and a half to open it. But without this video. I would have never gotten into my safe. thank you so much, and seeing how easy it is to get into a safe by doing it myself. It made me think. thank you so much.

[LAUGINGBATZ]

It has a lock.... you could also pick it... or a magnet depending what is used
