In large, high-end gun safes like Liberty, it is difficult to find them with mechanical locks anymore. They just don't make them.
- giantg2 4y agoIs Liberty really high-end? I would have thought they were mid-grade. I think most places have options for mechanical or electronic. Granted the electronics on those should be considerably better than the ones in the article, at least from a simple access perspective of not pulling the keypad off from the outside.
- kube-system 4y agoThey’re high end consumer-grade safes. Which in the world of commercial-grade security, is also known as “not a safe”. So, depending on your perspective, they’re either really good, or entirely unusable.
- giantg2 4y agoI would have thought things like ISM would be top quality consumer grade.
- aerostable_slug 4y agoThey are, but they are far more expensive than mainstream consumer gun "safes" and very heavy. A buddy of mine's dad dealt in wholesale jewelry and my friend inherited one of his dad's safes (I don't recall the brand offhand). It's over 5,000 pounds, has a tempered glass relocking plate in the door to defeat drills, etc. It is far beyond what almost any gun owner would go for. If something were to somehow fire the relockers, it would be an expensive proposition to get into the safe afterwards.
- giantg2 4y agoI would guess that would be commercial grade if he was involved in that business.
- kube-system 4y agoISM makes TL rated safes. Actual security devices. This is the entry level of what you might need as a business owners. They’re more expensive than what 99% of homeowners put inside of their safes.
- donavanm 4y agoIndeed, theyre almost always "residential security containers" at best. Which means the manufacturer can't even be bothered to assert that it would take 5 minute to break in to with hand tools.
- walterbell 4y agoSome electronic locks can be replaced with a reliable Sargent & Greenleaf mechanical combination lock, if they have standard mounting.
