Any safe can be broken into. Banging it your first didn't work for me.It does what it's supposed to do for the price. Prescription meds, guns, ammo, jewelry.Number of times people come here and ask for combination it must work pretty well. :-)

Like most home safes, it is a deterrent not absolute protection. For the money, it serves its purpose.

This safe is one of the easier of safes to defeat, but most safes in this price range have that in common. It is useful as a locking box to keep honest people and children out, but it provides virtually zero protection from a brute force attack. Like some other Sentry products, some of the models in this series have a vulnerability that allows the safe to be opened without needing the combination. But the reality is that safes in this price range do not provide any significant degree of burglary protection and their best defense is being well hidden since they will not survive an attack, and even when bolted to the ground they are not terribly difficult to forcibly remove even when bolted.

Really? Are you serious? You want all of that for an inexpensive safe? I am sure that it can withstand a little heat and abuse but this is a must have for important things (INSIDE your home like passports, jewelry).....FAMILY MEMBERS like COUSINS, NEPHEWS do steal!!! You can even hang this baby between your clothes in a closet....which adds more security.....people don't steal what they can't see.

Yes, only the quick access does not work well, if you drop it even a little bit the battery loosens, i had a lot of issues with this safe, if you want Q.A. And can afford it, i would look at the Gunvault MVB500, it has a rolling finger print reader. It is roughly 175$. I would advise as strongly as i can that this safe does not have good q.a. Features. I like my gunvault a lot.

I fully would recommend, I mean, unless they have serious tools to break a lock; but, if that's the case, if they want to break in that bad, probably can. Folks break expensive bike locks, if they have the tools & desire to do so; but this is a very sturdy lock. It is not a "kiddy" lock; its the best I've found & is still going strong for us.

If the price and dimensions are the same, I would save the money. The safe I bought is just what I wanted and although is not huge, fits everything inside nicely. And, I can pick it up easily when I need to use it. Good luck!

No, but it is the safe that I have beside my bed, mounted on my nightstand, every night. I suspect that if the house is on fire, it is as much of an emergency as if an intruder was entering. Either way, with this safe, you can grab your gun quickly and go.

I would strongly, strongly urge not to put a M200 in this type of safe. This safe is designed as mainly a locking box and is not built to provide burglary protection to any real degree. It will (at best) give only a couple minutes of protection from a brute-force unskilled attack with basic tools, and only a few seconds of protection from a semi-skilled thief. You may also have insurance issues if you ever make a claim because this safe is not rated on the scale insurance companies rely on.

Yes, I would say its tamper proof. I have not purposely tried opening it without the key but it does seem secure.

yes they give you a comination. this safe is not sturdy and is easily able to break into

This safe is not exactly theft proof, as someone could carry it away and try to break it open. It is very heavy, however, which would make it far less likely to be stolen. I keep the key in a hidden place, so that documents cannot be easily stolen. The safe also has to be opened in a specific way, which would make it hard to open it in a rush even if they had access to the key. Hope this helps!

No.But it really depends on where the safe is located. As long as its in a heated & cooled space it should be ok.

I think it is. The safe comes with bolts can be used to secure it to a wall or floor.

Yes, it is. I have three fingers programed several times and the safe opens right up.

Although there is a thin tab on both side of the handle for a lock to go through, it is not in any way a "secure" lock. As stated in another answer, case can be easily cut into or the hinges pried apart. It's more of a "I don't want you in here" lock than a "you can't get in here" lock. Do not put anything of value or danger in this case thinking it would be safe.

It is not. They make a series that is but it is more expensive. This is a great safe for the price point.

It's fairly secure. However if you really wanted to open it I guess you could

If you keep it clean it's very easy to open. I haven't had a problem with it yet.
