wheres the long guns?
besides that, my locker is as far from a viable exit as it can be. bolted to the wall.
Nice lock.Step 1
Nice lock.
Too bad the crooks are just going to pop the pins out of those hinges.
That's fine but they won't pop these pins or get the bolted safe up
That begs the question of why have the lock on the door then? Who needs security when the object cannot be stolen?
Plus, it adds intrigue and will make them seek out the room to search. Security through obscurity. Toss an old sweatshirt over the safe or something similar
Mine are, unfortunately, stored in a locking gun cabinet at this time. They are far out of the way where people would not look, but I am still not comfortable with it. I need to purchase a nice safe. Ammo is stored in a basement section that is well out of sight.
The closet door doesn't appear to be much of anything secure. If anything the lock brings more attention to that room if someone were to break in, they would probably go there first and spend all their time in there.
If someone is prepared or determined, it looks like someone could get a pry bar in there from the top and pry it open.
Nice lock.

True, if the hinges are on the same side as the guy trying to get in it's not ideal... HOWEVER... Pin your hinges... Open the door and remove one screw from each hinge and replace with a screw-stud... ie. a screw without a head and leave it sticking out a half inch or so. This end will fit into the hole on the adjoining plate of the hinge when closed and definitely slow down anyone trying to pop pins and remove the door. It won't keep them out indefinitely, but it WILL slow them down. Most scum-bags doing a B&E are looking for *easy* ...anything that looks like work will require time they may not have... or they may just come back later. Go look up "Pin your hinges" or "door jamb pins". This helps but will not stop a determined SOB.
In my line of work ATM's that weigh more then your safe and are alarmed and bolted down still get stolen. Once they are gone the crooks have plenty of time to get into them. Best bet is to prevent them from leaving in the first place. A hidden safe would work much better.
