Pry Bar Test On a Sturdy Gun Safe With Deadbolts Removed!

[TehHangover]

If you used 2 Pry Bars at the same time, you could EASILY get that thing to fly off.

I've seen some cheap saws at Harbor Freight that I'd like to try out on the safe. I also have easy to access power tools in my garage (like a metal grinder with cut-off wheel).

[samten10a]

If I know there is a safe and I wanted in I could get in two minutes per bolt.

I do like what you have shown me so fare.

I've been watching a lot of gun safe videos. I've noticed two things: #1 A safe company will never be able to break in to their own safe. #2 A safe company can EASILY break in to a competitors safe. I would like to see consumer reports come in and test them all side by side.

@quinnjim

I agree. That's 1 reason why we go to the extremes. Who else uses a forged pry bar that tapers from two inches down to an inch and an eighth (that is that long), takes out deadbolts to prove you don't even need many to keep the door on, & cuts a notch in the door so that the full energy of they pry is ACTUALLY TRYING to force the door open (not just pushing the door from one side to the other)? That pry bar can generate 5000lbs of force. This is why all are videos are different.

I am impressed ! I am shopping for a safe now, that is how I came apon this review. Do you have a dealer in central Missouri ? If so where ? I have been a welder professionally for 18 years . You have my attention !

[sturdysafe1]

@carvinrigged

We sell direct, so no dealers jacking up the price. 

[DobermansRock]

Research the rest, these guys are the best. I have one and its stout...

[MrBaldridge1988]

i know about the recessed door but i thought if the hinge is exposed then u could just cut the hinge and get the door open and take the stuff inside

[sturdysafe1]

@perfectshot77

The boys were suppose to sit on the bar, but they were too scared for that reason.

[MrBaldridge1988]

which is better internal hinges of externaland do all gun safe have dead bolts on both sides of the door or do most leave it up to the hinges to keep theives out

[sturdysafe1]

@MrBaldridge1988

Most hidden hinges are susceptible to damage simply by slamming the door open. Exposed hinges are stronger and allow for easier removal and hanging of the door. This is known in the industry as a "serviceable door".

When it comes to a crow bar attacks, you should be more concerned if the doors are recessed or if there are gaps to allow a pry bar to get started.

[Brute4rce]

Impressive! what type of steel do you make your safes out of? Is it A36 mild steel or other?

[sturdysafe1]

@Brute4rce

It's A36 or better. We use grade 50 when we can get it, but that's harder to do now a days.

[TacticalStrudel]

I just want to say, I've had a Sturdy Safe for a little under a year and I'm very happy with it. Great product, great no-BS customer service. Most gun safes you see in stores are constructed of thin sheet steel over drywall and finished off with a fancy paint job and a high price tag. Sturdy is one of the few good gun safes on the market, and one of only 2 good products in its price range.

@TacticalStrudel

Thank you! :)

[DobermansRock]

@TacticalStrudel Brother I have a sturdy 30 gun and the only thing I think Sturdy could do to make it better is have Line-X paint it. But then That would really make it no fun for the thievs.

[crackerms0100]

i would love to work there with this guy (terry)

[sturdysafe1]

@crackerms0100

Everyone loves him.

[fortnoxtt]

First I want to tell you I Truly Love My Sturdy Safe. Second I want to say, Crooks be sure to use your safety glasses when trying this.

[sturdysafe1]

@fortnoxtt

Thank you! :)

[invis3579]

Oh, they call it pry-resistant, "recessed door".

[invis3579]

I mean your 2 guys all rest the pry bar on the left side of the safe to get leverage. If this side is substantially raised higher than the level of the door then prying the door out is impossible.

Of course, the safe would look weird, just my thought.

Anyways, thanks for replying.

[invis3579]

Terry, I got an idea, How about raising the side that's the bolts hook to two inches. That will make the leverage on the side impossible.

What do you think ?

[sturdysafe1]

@invis3579

I'm not sure of your question...

Our gun safes naturally can not fit a prybar, so there would not be any need to alter things. Remember, in order to do this experiment , we needed to removed two locking lugs and create a notch in the door just to make it possible for a pry bar to even work.

[BOUUPROSTU]

What are the two tools? Lever - rank? what are they .. and where can I find this?

[sturdysafe1]

@BOUUPROSTU

One tool is a 6ft pry bar and the other is a standard size crow bar.

[rockhead444]

LOOK. LISTEN. LEARN.

Another cool video from the good people at Sturdy Safe.

I know I made the right choice.

[homes24]

Nice safe,
