An interesting video if you are curious about how secure your lockbox is or if you are interested in the whole lockpicking/circumvention thing. Warning, the guy tosses about a lot of four letter words if that isn't cool where you are watching.

 

I think just about any safe can be circumvented with the right tools or time. My safe is designed to stop an attack from a curious child or a thief that doesn't have a lot of time. You could circumvent Ft. Knox if you had the tools and the time.

 

I recall once having to break into my own guncase once at Range 14. At the time I only brought 1 gun in a plastic case with the cable lock wound around the handle. It took me about 10 minutes to break the cable lock with a Leatherman. Not long in the big scheme of things but an eternity if you are not a professional thief and not sure when an owner is getting home.

 

If you are a professional thief, you are already prepared to deal with a safe, so that will drastically reduce the time spent circumventing it.

I found it more interesting regarding just how bad some of the products are. The second one he demonstrates is just an unforgivable design, and is literally opened with a bent paperclip. Mostly I think it is full of useful info for judging if something you are lookign at in the store might be a total POS. If you watch the whole video, the guy adds a $40 lock to the first candidate and is quite happy with what it is.

Interesting video.
