Whether you are at home, gym, school or workplace, once burglars figure out where your valuables are, you want to waste their time before they access them or make it impossible altogether.
Though you can never really be abs safe, you need a sturdy and layered box construction, a frame fitting bolted door securely fitting the frame.
The safe should be chained/ fastened through the wall or the surrounding structure. Anchoring the safe makes it harder and longer to attack. The gun safe itself could be stolen but to make it harder,
rip out the bolts. You can prevent thieves from prying open the door by hitting with an axe by forcing them to attack the safe in an upright position.
Layered structure makes it harder to access the inner metal on the sides, top and edges of the safe. When bolting down the safe, make the holes as closest to the corners as possible, which makes it harder to hook prying tools under the structure. Bolting is one of the most important safety measures.
An intimidating
combination lock for lockers or master lock such as the one I use for my gym locker, will also consume time to bolt cut or pry, while raising an alarm.
If bolting is not to your liking, there are other options. You can build an anchor larger than the door such that it can’t be forced through the door until it is unbolted from the haven. Concrete is heavy and such an anchor with a presentable shape and reinforced with rebars, high strength steel sections can add 2,000lbs, making it very difficult to tip over the gun safe.
