Bolting it to the floor made it easier.
If the gun safe wasn't bolted down, someone could just pick it up and walk away with all your valuables. It would take a lot less than 2 minutes.
But if the thief had a weak back and thew it out trying to pick it up, he wouldn't be able to run very fast and the cops could catch him easily. (snicker)
newstart49 haha good point
The Safe Keeper
Hi, I have a floor safe/vault that came with the house I bought. Is there a way to find the manufacturer and have them come open it? or what are the alternatives.
randomvidz94 use dynamite
This case is rock solid (like other Pelican cases). ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx3jMFPw9QX_Iu4DNcjW-t9AZ4_iNhJzhE I paired it with the Master Lock 140T set of padlocks. The US Airways ticket agent that checked the case was impressed by how completely the latches were secured. The case has layers of removable foam cubes that can be easily adapted to the contents of the case and keep everything secure. After declaring its contents to the ticket agent, I was allowed to put this case in other checked luggage. Due to its size and black color, this helped insure that it wasn't misplaced by a baggage handler. TSA was (apparently) happy with the packaging as well. If you plan on flying with more than one of the main items, I would recommend buying a larger Pelican case and just transport the case as another piece of checked luggage.
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
That's a great idea. I will be sure to do that when I settle on a safe.
MATT BURGESS A damn good idea. Hadn't considered that sort of positioning.
Best bet is to not buy a crap safe like that to begin with
+Shawn Silver It's not crap when you can not get into it.
Walls are made of drywall. If you are willing to break into a steel safe by force, a wall is not going to stop you, it will just add a minute to the breakin time.
Closet safes get broken into all the time. I guess the best you could hope for is that the extra time spent on teh wall would turn into a few more seconds for someone to see or hear something out of the ordinary and notify the police.
That is the true safety measure, the police catching the breakin before the burglars make off with your goodies.
Try an alarm system, it adds a layer of security which takes a bit more skill and guts to accomplish entry into the home. Most crooks will pass a house with an alarm sign out front, even if there is no alarm at all.
After all, they don't want to take chances on getting caught and they steal because they do not like to work for their money.
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
It's not a very heavy safe, so if it wasn't bolted down the thief/thieves just pick it up and put it in their vehicle. Only very heavy safes can afford to not be bolted down (300lbs plus). Even then...still wiser to bolt it down because moving the entire safe is the most common method for thieves.
What if? It was bolted down but not bolted tightly so that when force was applied it spun? For instance in a wood subfloor.
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.
+N. VK any idea what safe would be better for security in a similar size? I don't need so much fire /water prevention, just guy-with-crowbar prevention etc.
+Mick Brudon even an entry level TL-15 safe would $2,200 starting price brand new. TL-15 safes are no joke and not cheap in price. jewelry stores, pawn shops etc use TL-15 or TL-30 high security safes.
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.
Yeah, if they want in, then they're getting in, but not buying a cheap safe is a good start~
I think you made it easier by bolting it down so you could get leverage.
.
With enough effort, you could otherwise just steal the safe entirely if it wasn't bolted down.
+bill52600 makes it harder to break in tho.
Actually, this model can be "bounced" if not bolted down
True, but if it wasn't bolted down, it'd take less time just to run off with it..
It it's not bolted down, you can put the safe on its back and have even better leverage.
Isn't the keypad vulnerable by just whacking it off allowing access to the solenoid or motor connections?
How would you rate a chubb cobra size 3 safe as good or so so or run for the hills many thanks great video.
Agreed ; that is more for fire. Can you try a TL30 x 6. Never seen it attempted. Of course UL tested it but wouldn't mind the real deal test.
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.
put your safe in a closet. bolt it down to the floor. its the best place for it
I lost my key and have a very old safe I bought for $5. I have some stuff in it I need. It is a FireKing and has a combination and a key that must be used at the same time to open it. I know the combination but I still need the key. How can I open it?
having it bolted to the floor made it easier....It gave you a little leverage........nice video, thanks......
What would be a good safe to buy?
It has a lock.... you could also pick it... or a magnet depending what is used
So what WOULD you buy then as a decent home safe?
so tell us which safe is good to buy?
Easy to use and clean. Very convenient.
Is there any home safe that you can purchase for under 300 bucks that is burglar proof? How much do you have to spend to be burglar proof? What model/style safe would you suggest?
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.
Same here…
I don't have that giant pry bar in my garage but nice video.
The music from :24-:52 is from a song called "To Catch A Thief" by Lovage.
What if the safe wasn't anchored at all, he wouldn't have any leverage to pry with?
How would you deal with a GSA Mosler or Diebold safe????
So you have to break into it twice? Once to bolt it down and the second time to pry it open?
LOL
I have mine bolted against a wall so you can't get on the side of it to pry. Also, I have a literal ton of tools in my garage, but I don't have a 4' pry bar.
is there a way to do it without leaving marks?
What kind of toms are those?
It's a low end electronic safe. All you need is a strong magnet and a little know-how and you can open it in about 5 seconds with no other tools or any damage!
bolting the safe to the wall helped him with the leverage.
what about a cast iron old skool safe that takes 4 people to lift it and requires a round key?
Is it a burglary proof safe or just a fire proof one?
What a complete waste of a good safe for this video...think of the children in Africa that could have eaten that safe.
this is America... c'mon man
I would have attempted to crack it without damage since lock picking in an expertise of mine.
but he looks like me doesn't he? jkJk
XD omg he does ya'know ahaha time for a divorce :P

I like how this stuff is on UA-cam :^)
Good video Safe Keeper but I have one question.....
if a safe can be busted open in a couple of minutes, what options are there for guys like me (and there's plenty) who simply want to keep their silver stacks safe?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks from Canada.
Pat TheHombre Great question. You can get a real safe that is pry resistant and fire proof for only a couple hundred dollars more. The safe presented in the video was purchased at Lowe's and is basically a fire box. Or an imitation safe. It is designed to protect your valuables from fire and keep your hand gun locked up and away from your kids. That it will do. Otherwise you would have to invest in a real safe. Thanks again for the question.
The Safe Keeper
Thank you for the fast and personal reply Safekeeper. Didn't expect it, to be honest.
Can I try another question...... How about Sentry safes? Adequate, So so or just pass on them.?
No problem. And if you are looking for an honest opinion, Sentry safes are good fire boxes. The one you see in the video is a sentry safe. If you are looking to protect your valuables from more than just fire, we suggest purchasing something thicker and heavier. And as mentioned before, the price is not that much more. Thanks for another great question!

I build and install "Hidden Safes" "If they can't find it. they can't steal it"
1. What are the most common/requested locations customers want safes installed?
2. What are the most common/recommended locations you tell customers to install safes?
Well I was going to comment on the safe being bolted but I see others have already done that.
Just curious, would removing the digital part/keypad, keyport and knob alone also open a digital safe?
No, but the hinge on this is external and can be knocked off in less than 30 seconds with a good hammer.
Yeah Just getting off the keypad won't allow you access into the safe but if you know the way the parts/electronics are setup (inside the safe in back of safe door, its covered) you know where you can drill to get access to the actuator. Some safes the hole from drilling can be covered because it's under the keypad other holes you can fill with some metal filler & sand & paint if needed.
Actually Sir, at 0:44 you stated that by installing the anchor bolts, it made it more difficult. I suspect that by the safe being anchored to the floor
it make it less likely to move around as you used the forcing methods. If not stationary, it would have not cooperated as much. other than that
it was very educational and interesting.
Who cleaned up that mess when you finished?
whats the white powder all about
Folded sheet steel safe, and weak locking housing can be easily bent with a crowbar.
Bolting it to the floor made it easier to break it. However if safes are not bolted then then it can be more easier to carry it away using a moving dolly..
is there a type of safe that cannot be broken into or is alarmed that the police would come?
Have you not seen the magnet+sock method? Less than 5 seconds with a magnet and sock
This is also sitting out in the open. Put it in a corner location and surround it on 3 or sides and none of that leverage is happening. Block it in top, bottom, left, right, and rear with nothing but the front exposed, then try it.
Thats the smartest way to instal a safe . 👍👍👍
Obviously a cheap safe. Love to see you demonstrate this on a Gaurdall KCR 510.
You wouldn't have been able to break into it if you hadn't bolted it to the floor. These safes are made to protect items from fire damage, they are not really burglary-proof safes. That's why they only cost a couple hundred bucks vs. a couple thousand for a good safe.
Are you going to clean the dust-up
Does anyone know what's the name of the music he used?
One thing I noticed was that your safe was in the middle of the room and you were able to work on the safe from all sides. My home safe is bolted down in a corner of the room, and the door corner that you chisel on is flush against a solid wall. Would you still be able to get the leverage you need to pry open a safe of this size without being able to stand and pry from the left side of the safe (such as in 1:37 in this video)? I'm curious how much longer the placement adds to the safecracking attempt.
What if the safe was in a room with limited physical space to maneuver a prybar both to the left and above? Would the safecracking attempt take so long as to discourage further effort? Or would your attention turn to first using the pry bar to try to break the safe free from the floor bolts, and then attack the safe?
The answer from an observer with no dog in this fight, my opnion is an added 1 minute or so in this particular test. The end result would be the same with only a little more time added. What you want to do is also purchase a safe with VERY little gap around the door making it extremely difficult to get behind it. Also, if you buy flimsy material. one can open that gap and get a pry bar in.
unless your safe is a TL-15 or higher it can still be pryed open in 5 min or less.
what kind of safe is that
Try bolting it into a left side corner of a closet and see how you do
use the magnet where the solenoid is located
Maybe you could show safe safes ?
Fair enough you have convinced me, where can I buy one ? haha
it made it easier to pry When u bolted it down... still a easy safe to pry into. but you made it 100x pry and get enough leverage on it when you bolted it down
I'm a little late to the party, but I was doing a search on UA-cam for "opening sentry safe with a magnet" when I came across this video. the other videos showed people opening safes like this in 10 seconds or less.
By anchoring the safe to the floor it actually made prying it open easier.
Most thieves know that flipping the safe over on it's back makes it easier to pry open with a crow bar.
I would argue that bolting it down only helps an attack such as the one that was employed.
Can you recommend a safe that you can’t open like that?
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.
Full respect to the two floor bolts!
Or you can use a double cut saw from Harbor Freight Tools simply by cutting around it
Use a very rare earth magnet instead of bolting that to the floor to make it so much easier. It looks like it is made of polystyrene.
So what small fire-proof safe would you recomend in the sub $300 ballpark?
+Lumilan One with a good fire rating probably
+Lumilan try looking at the websites, they should have categories for fire and ratings
you don't want a $300 safe trust me. put your stuff in a bank or buy a TL-15.
Hell yea that's the best way yo
McJuggernuggets
+Timothy McCord Yes
Yes
+Timothy McCord not the only one that looked for a how to on this for him
XD
holy shit same
+Timothy McCord yep
any standered house safe can be busted in less then 2 min with a good hammer and a good prybar you just have to use it right. I know I have busted safes safes with a 2 houre ratting in less then a min.
Maybe it was the tight jeans and the Thomms?! LOL!
Gordon Freeman's weapon of choice.
Great Job!!! Now lets see you do it without it being bolted down.
+Craigie Craig Well, if it's not bolted down, sure it'll be harder to open, but you'd have all the time in the world to get it open, since you and your accomplice could just pick it up and walk out.
Wow impressive
i like your song what its called
The lock bars look so tiny, I have seen smaller safe with more and huge lock bars.
Those type of safes are primarily meant to keep children out, and used as fire-protection of important documents.....not to keep burglars out.
The fact that it doesn't supply a way to bolt it down, is a big clue.
Its got Blow in the walls maaan, Groovy
I just had to urgently open my own. The electronic lock failed. Didn't time it but....yup, few minutes. It's a fire safe, no surprise.
He says he is bolting it to the floor "to make it more difficult"" In reality it makes it easier as there is something to lever against. If the safe was not bolted to the floor I very much doubt those techniques would work at all and certainly not in that time frame.
That's true about bolting it down gave him leverage pry it open. I don't know the of quality of this digital lock, but if they are not bolted down you can drop the safe in the right way you can pull the locking latch when the electric solenoid pin pops down. That's one way it may of made it " harder".
Impressive prying it open, either way. Drilling it would of taken a lot longer then 2 minutes.
Yes, bolting it down gives him leverage. No, it does not make it "easier" because if the safe was NOT bolted down, then he could easily flip the safe onto its back and pry it open in even LESS time. There's a video of 2 guys breaking into a LARGER safe using this tactic without a problem.
Peterbu18 Are you talking about rolling the safe on the back so the door is to the ceiling then pry the door, or flipping the whole safe upside down to avoid reinforced walls?
All I am saying is cheap electric latch are easy to bump, no tools required even. The better ones are designed in a way that solenoid drops but the force of a drop will bind the side of it to lever canceling it out.
What? Are you kidding? If a safe that size isn't bolted down he just walks off with it. Boom - safe cracked in 10 seconds! Once he gets it home it makes no difference if it takes him 20 years to break into it with hand files.
marshaul maybe you just have shitty safes there. in my country safes those size weight 80+kg, better quality safes 200+kg. good luck taking it on your back and running away with it :D
I guess people just don't understand that these types of safes are for FIRE PROTECTION ONLY! Sentry does not advertise them as security safes, and folks shouldn't assume they are designed for that. These basically only have drywall (gypsum) in the walls, and are made from thin gauge metal. The gypsum is "hydrated", which means it has water bonded in its molecular structure. As it's exposed to the heat of a fire it actually begins to steam water out of it! The water evaporates, and by doing so absorbs heat, and that keeps the contents of the safe cooler than 1700'F for about an hour.
Because the gypsum is hydrated it makes the interior of the safe very humid - under certain conditions nearly as humid as a cigar humidor! It's important you put anything valuable in a Tupperware-like container with a silica desiccant pack to avoid moisture damage.
If you want a real SECURITY SAFE you will need to spend at least a $1000, and be prepared to handle a 500+lb safe that will need to be bolted into concrete for maximum security. Look for a used one at a safe dealer and you can save a lot of money.
Looks like a wafer lock on the door as an override. A simple cheap lock jiggling (very little knowledge required) key would open this up with no destruction.
If physical attack is the preferred option to avoid then fasten it down deep in a closet. That way it is difficult to have space to lever the door.
I tried this at a bank and it didnt work got anyvtips?
He said they bolted it to make it more difficult he is lucky that he did bolt it, because now he has leverage
Fantastic, cogratulations
Thank you so much for having the music be so much louder than the guy who's talking. that's awesome. ツ
Ha Ha
I like to bounce open Sentry safes, it's a hoot
Well done Kirill ... very impressive .. Of course criminals can easily take a unbolted safe away and then smash it open back at their "lair" we have the same problem with Hardware "cheapie" safes down under in Australia. The public dont understand that a safe is not a safe these days and if you really want to protect some valuables you need to spend a PROPORTIONAL AMOUNT, ie a little bit of cash (say $2000 ) buy a cheapie ... if you want to protect $30,000 spend $1500 and so on
It's easy to prevent this. Pour a raised concrete platform in the basement. This will keep the safe off the floor in case of minor flooding and make access a little easier. Pour a rebar and angle iron reinforced case around the outside. This encasement needs to extend 6 to 10 inches past the front of the safe door. The safe will be recessed into the enclosed concrete container. The door may only open 90 to 100 degrees, so if there are stupid drawers inside, they might become unusable. The bottom line; you can't pry and chisel the door open because leverage tools won't fit.
noise..?
You can open that safe by hitting it with a hammer under the S as that is a sentry safe. Alot faster than 2 mins and a lpt less effort.
What I learned is if you anchored the safe with the left side facing the wall a thief going to take longer for open it.
I GOTTA SAY.... The anchor gave you more leverage if anything.
I mean if it wasn't bolted down you could just run off with it, but breaking it open would be more difficult if it was free to move around, especially when using the crowbar.
I think it would be harder if it wasnt bolted down as you would lose the stability to induce leverage. Either way you would still be able to open it.
Its the fire proof material. Its kind of like drywall material.
NICE........... I love watching safe cracking videos, they are so fucking awesome. Cheers.
.......did no1 else notice the tubular lock on the front which are fairly easy to pick even without a tubular lock pick....?
This is the type of safe I need then. Cus if you don't know the password, & you wreck mine, you replace it, I'll know you went into it. Love. Love. Love.
if that’s a sentury safe you can open that in five seconds with a magnet
Older safes yes. But newer ones not likely.
@@danielconverse8189 you’re probably right the newer ones only require a can opener probably,,,,the steel thickness in a Sentury safe is about as thick as a tin can of beans although I’m not sure the tin can may have just a little bit more steel you could take a double cut saw from Harbor Freight Tools or a cheap grinder and cut through them
rig an explosive to the door that would detonate when opened by someone who didnt know the off switch
well i mean i have an 8" diameter hole drill with a rig that could literally take the whole top of that safe out in roughly 1 minute so yea no need really.
Or you can use a steel cutting blade on a regular circular saw and cut that safe open quick
