Place your foot at the bottom of the door to support it and pull back on the top.

It is the upgraded and improved series over the Centurion Model.

The two gentlemen in the “safe cracking” video had never done this before they filmed the video. Rumor is they can do it now in under 30 seconds! I worked for retail store that sold safes and two of the safes we had sold we broken into by prying the door in a similar way.

I normally don’t post or comment on things but I feel that one of these safes is never a deal at any price. Liberty makes a good safe called the Lincoln. it is significantly better. I would also take a look at the Browning Medallion, or Sterling or some of the similar priced Fort Knox. Whatever you do buy your safe from a specialty safe retailer some one who know safes. It only take 2 guys to install a 1500lb safe if you have the right tools.

That said, virtually any safe under about 1600 lbs can be pretty easily defeated by professional thieves. Note that in the second video the attacked safe had to be tilted over. This is why you want to bolt down your safe and place in a location without access to the sides.

We’ve interviewed law enforcement experts, and to a man, they all said successful door attacks, even on “cheap safes” were rare. Typically, the pro uses power saws or cutting tools to go into the top or sides. This is much faster than trying to pry a door open or cut off the hinges (which usually doesn’t work anyway). A cutting tool can go through the top of even a $2500 Ft. Knox pretty easily.

It comes down to this–having a safe is better than no safe. It also puts you in compliance with local laws in some jurisdictions. Yes there are much better safes than the $688 Liberty or the $600 Winchester sometimes found at Costco. But they are far costlier and will probably require a moving crew to install. That introduces another risk factor… in that you are letting everyone on that crew know that you have a safe, and guns, and they know exactly where it is placed, and how.

Only a Rich Man can afford to buy a Cheaper Safe, because he can afford to replace what’s inside.

Shake the door when it opens. If it flexes under its own weight what do you think it will do with a pry bar.
