What if I own many guns the necessitate an entire rack? Here is a good myth for ya, "you don't need to spend money on a safe, just buy a gun cabinet because the criminal can just get into it anyway."
@@LGB-FJB You mean you have too many for a gun safe? Again, as a locksmith company we see criminals fail far more than succeed when customers have even a descent safe. Rarely is someone running around breaking into homes/businesses with sufficient to breaking into safes. Check with police departments/insurance companies in our your area, but in DFW the average break in is 8 minutes or less, 98% of them are front/back door kick-ins and well over 90% of the time they go straight for the primary bed/closet/bathroom. Point is that most residential break ins are “smash & grab” and they’re not breaking into safes, so a descent safe can defend against the small percentage of break in attempts.
Correct me if I am wrong but I have watched a ton of you videos, Why do the high end keypad locks limit you to a code of 6? I have a stack on safe from about 15 years ago that I bought when I had a smaller collection that I now use for ammo storage and its key pad code code be set as high as 8-10 digits.
Man, great question! Over the years there absolutely have been keypads that have allowed for anywhere from 4-10 digit codes. Why only 6 as the most common used combos? It always comes back to UL ratings (Underwriter Laboratories Inc). Before keypads were invented we had mechanical locks that used 6 numbers (10-20-30) right? The 6 numbers were broken up into 3 sets of numbers with 100 possibilities (100x100x100). UL wanted the same 1 million possibilities (6 digit combo between 10 numbers) on keypads. Which works for up to 10 users, but when you have 11 users you need a digit 7 combo, 12 users needs up to a 8 digit code and so on. Anything over that is fine, dealers choice, as long as you make a lock that is UL Listed. I hope this makes sense, brother.
@@A1LocksmithofTexas Man you are quick to reply, something you hardly see on youtube anymore, speaking for not just myself really appreciate it. so in a nut shell if I understand the above correctly, the more amount of users a digital keypad allows for effectively the number of digits a code can be is reduced to keep the overall number of total possibilities available based off the UL standard?
@@JMSynthetics Well, we appreciate people watching. Yes, it can be reduced from say the 8-10 digits on yours, but only down to 6 digits so long as the keypad has 0-9 (10 numbers) to meet UL’s guidelines. And you have 10 or less users.
I have a Amsec TL-15 CEV2518 that comes stock with one shelf. I asked about extra shelves w/clips, and was told that they are $100/ea....for a shelf! 😯
@@CRA677 Man, I’m with ya, those metal shelves are expensive! I tell everyone who doesn’t wanna pay that to request the clips and just cut a board for a shelf, works the same.
@@mikewilliams5635 Hahaha, of course it’s a good enough reason! You use terms like “I hate that my crap is always in your way” and “I figured I make sure you have all the space you need for your stuff”. 🤠
I just got a small safe(just big enough for my ammo cache. Need a safe for a rifle, shotgun, and pistol and that's it. Got anything like a narrow but 52" or so tall safe?

@@A1LocksmithofTexas Thanks for the conformation on crazy pricing, and I was thinking the same thing (just making my own).
Chit my wife is filling my 60 with heels and purses, almost enough for a good reason to upgrade 😅
