thats true, but most times that you will find a primus it will be on an intense door that you couldn't sledgehammer either..

Check and make sure the safe doesn't have drain holes in the bottom like one I saw before. A friend of mine had his stolen out of his house, the thief must have known what type of safe he had. The thief flipped the safe on its side, used a cordless Sawz-all and used a carbide metal cutting blade. They simply cut open a giant hole in the bottom of the safe and grabbed all sorts of goodies from inside it.

Nice safe with a gigantic fatal flaw. If you are home 99% of the time, no worries with it being 200 lb.s, but if you leave for 24 or more hours at a time, any thief could just tip the safe, and just cut it open.

You wouldn't think they would design a secure safe like that for $200 only to have a widely available code out? would you?

I've seen hotel managers come in and reset safes in guests rooms, but those were like $20 safes... anyone have any other thoughts on this?

Well I guess my friend was a moron if it was meant to be screwed. down.....lol. The layout of the holes didnt seem to fit that idea though. There were 3 holes in the bottom, in the shape of a triangle. I think it was meant to be a wall or floor safe, so very well could be for screws, but regardless, the holes left the safe absolutely useless. Key and combo lock and defeated by a 50 dollar cordless tool. Felt bad for him.

I think you should be alright with a 200lb'er though. Much heavier than his safe. The walls on that safe would most likely need a cutting torch, and a sawz-all probably couldn't do anything to it. Good luck

Its fairly expensive, yeah. You won't encounter them readily. Most places in the USA do use Schlage locks though, but not primuses.
They are 6 pin locks, all 6 security pins... but the lock also has a 5 pin sidebar (so basically a lock inside a lock) that has to be rotated simulataneously.

11 pins, lock is usually made from titanium or something equally as strong.
This is the key
