<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 4857879, member: 103207"]Actually it really depends on the type of safe you have. If you buy one from Walmart or any big box store then I would say yes those aren't hard to pop open. Cheap Chinese junk steel. I could cut one of those in half with a diamond saw in less than an hour.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, if you buy a real safe that was designed properly getting into them can be extremely difficult. We have a safe at work for important documents (no cash) that weighs about 3,000 lbs and has 8 inch thick doors with 1-1/2 diameter pins (6 or 8 per door) that lock the doors. It was made around 1895 in Boston. You need a big fork truck just to move it in our shop. Our office was robbed one night after work. They didn't even bother to spin the combination dial. Instead they took a lap top and some other stuff from our shop. Typical druggie looking for a quick hit and run. In most cases the robbers are looking for a quick hit and run and get out quick. However, no safe offers 100 percent protection against a skilled robber. The key is how much time a robber is willing to spend to open a safe. No robber is going to want to spend hours trying to open a safe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
