Breaking into a safe in 2 minutes 

Bolting it to the floor made it easier.

This case is rock solid (like other Pelican cases). ru-vid.comUgkx3jMFPw9QX_Iu4DNcjW-t9AZ4_iNhJzhE I paired it with the Master Lock 140T set of padlocks. The US Airways ticket agent that checked the case was impressed by how completely the latches were secured. The case has layers of removable foam cubes that can be easily adapted to the contents of the case and keep everything secure. After declaring its contents to the ticket agent, I was allowed to put this case in other checked luggage. Due to its size and black color, this helped insure that it wasn't misplaced by a baggage handler. TSA was (apparently) happy with the packaging as well. If you plan on flying with more than one of the main items, I would recommend buying a larger Pelican case and just transport the case as another piece of checked luggage.

Best bet with a safe like that is to bolt it down in a corner. Back left side corner neer a wall. You will never get the leverage with the house wall in your way. Just an idea

I love how he said bolting it down will make it harder to pry it open... Bolting it down makes it harder to steal the whole safe but he would have never tried that safe open without it being bolted to the floor securely it would have just flopped around every time he tried

I think you made it easier by bolting it down so you could get leverage. .

First of all, Sentry created this safe as a fire safe, with security features. The safe is marly meant to store items to protect from fire with the added feature to keep items locked. If a the person who bought the safe read the box - it would advertise more of a fire document storage safe more so security safe.

I stopped someone who came to my house seeking to burglarize it. He came with a small "sports" backpack and nothing else. If you live in a suburban area in most cases most thieves will travel light and pick random homes to see if anyone is home. They typically aren't arriving with large crow bars, power drills, or vans to haul stuff away. -However I am sure that does occur. The guy who came to my home had nothing on him, he was looking to make a quick entry "smash and grab" pack his little backpack then walk out ...he didn't want to look suspicious after the "get-away" and he certainly did not park a car anywhere near our home as he didn't want his license being taken or for anything to look out of place (ie, a car that isn't supposed to be there). -we have neighbors who notice things like that. So couple things; 1) this safe weighs about 160lbs, ...that right there will deter many thieves. How many are going to walk down the street carrying this thing? also, it will still be difficult to carry into your car or van had the thief arrived with one. 2) bolting this safe down and in a corner like a closet will make it much more difficult to break into as it will be difficult to get the proper leverage to pry it open as in this video. 2) W/o a crow bar its going to be much more difficult to get into this safe and take more time. In fact I think for the typical thief they wouldn't be able to get into it if they arrived at your home like our burglar did (empty handed in anticipation of just grabbing stuff from drawers and going). Pretty much all safes can be broken into with the right tools or knowledge. However a safe will help in many cases, -its a lot better than keeping valuables in drawers ...as that is what most burglars are hoping for. If you have a camera setup w/ warning of intruder (these can be had for about $50 -look on Amazon) then you'll have warning of an intruder and the safe should buy you plenty of time to come home or have police arrive. A safe alone should not be the entire security system. But as a part of your security can work really well.

I build and install "Hidden Safes" "If they can't find it. they can't steal it"

Thank you, I did just what you showed me. It took me an hour. I changed my batteries ..nothing. I tried all the expensive batteries. Nothing . I have had my safe for over 20 years.

Easy to use and clean. Very convenient.

having it bolted to the floor made it easier....It gave you a little leverage........nice video, thanks......

Home safes are to deter casual thieves, not professionals who came ready to break into a safe. And most safes aren't going to be bolted right out in the open. Instead, safes are going to be closets or corners that will make it much harder to get the leverage.

How would you rate a chubb cobra size 3 safe as good or so so or run for the hills many thanks great video.

Isn't the keypad vulnerable by just whacking it off allowing access to the solenoid or motor connections?

Dear sir thank you for making this video I had the handle stripped out . And somebody tried to drill it out. So I could not open it anymore. I did not have my safe bolted down. it took two females an hour and a half to open it. But without this video. I would have never gotten into my safe. thank you so much,and seeing how easy it is to get into a safe by doing it myself. It made me think. thank you so much.

Agreed ; that is more for fire. Can you try a TL30 x 6. Never seen it attempted. Of course UL tested it but wouldn't mind the real deal test.

I like how this stuff is on RU-vid :^)

McJuggernuggets

Fantastic, cogratulations

I lost my key and have a very old safe I bought for $5. I have some stuff in it I need. It is a FireKing and has a combination and a key that must be used at the same time to open it. I know the combination but I still need the key. How can I open it?

Obviously a cheap safe. Love to see you demonstrate this on a Gaurdall KCR 510.

if that’s a sentury safe you can open that in five seconds with a magnet

I don't have that giant pry bar in my garage but nice video.

Fair enough you have convinced me, where can I buy one ? haha

Is there any home safe that you can purchase for under 300 bucks that is burglar proof? How much do you have to spend to be burglar proof? What model/style safe would you suggest?

The music from :24-:52 is from a song called "To Catch A Thief" by Lovage.

What would be a good safe to buy?

It has a lock.... you could also pick it... or a magnet depending what is used

bolting the safe to the wall helped him with the leverage.

Ill be sure to call the police if I see someone walking in my neighborhood with a 4 foot prybar

It's a low end electronic safe. All you need is a strong magnet and a little know-how and you can open it in about 5 seconds with no other tools or any damage!

Great Job!!! Now lets see you do it without it being bolted down.

Wow impressive

How would you deal with a GSA Mosler or Diebold safe????

Try bolting it into a left side corner of a closet and see how you do

Well done Kirill ... very impressive .. Of course criminals can easily take a unbolted safe away and then smash it open back at their "lair" we have the same problem with Hardware "cheapie" safes down under in Australia. The public dont understand that a safe is not a safe these days and if you really want to protect some valuables you need to spend a PROPORTIONAL AMOUNT, ie a little bit of cash (say $2000 ) buy a cheapie ... if you want to protect $30,000 spend $1500 and so on

Hell yea that's the best way yo

Thank you so much for having the music be so much louder than the guy who's talking. that's awesome. ツ

NICE........... I love watching safe cracking videos, they are so fucking awesome. Cheers.

Looks like good exercise.

Folded sheet steel safe, and weak locking housing can be easily bent with a crowbar.

So what WOULD you buy then as a decent home safe?

By anchoring the safe to the floor it actually made prying it open easier.

Those type of safes are primarily meant to keep children out, and used as fire-protection of important documents.....not to keep burglars out. The fact that it doesn't supply a way to bolt it down, is a big clue.

He says he is bolting it to the floor "to make it more difficult"" In reality it makes it easier as there is something to lever against. If the safe was not bolted to the floor I very much doubt those techniques would work at all and certainly not in that time frame.

so tell us which safe is good to buy?

home safe are to protect documents from fire and water, not theft... I don't understand people who put valuables in these safe...

Maybe it was the tight jeans and the Thomms?! LOL!

I have mine bolted against a wall so you can't get on the side of it to pry. Also, I have a literal ton of tools in my garage, but I don't have a 4' pry bar.

Its got Blow in the walls maaan, Groovy

it made it easier to pry When u bolted it down... still a easy safe to pry into. but you made it 100x pry and get enough leverage on it when you bolted it down

You can break into anything, a good safe just takes longer to break into

Good video Safe Keeper but I have one question..... if a safe can be busted open in a couple of minutes, what options are there for guys like me (and there's plenty) who simply want to keep their silver stacks safe? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks from Canada.

Actually Sir, at 0:44 you stated that by installing the anchor bolts, it made it more difficult. I suspect that by the safe being anchored to the floor it make it less likely to move around as you used the forcing methods. If not stationary, it would have not cooperated as much. other than that it was very educational and interesting.

I'm a little late to the party, but I was doing a search on RU-vid for "opening sentry safe with a magnet" when I came across this video. the other videos showed people opening safes like this in 10 seconds or less.

I guess people just don't understand that these types of safes are for FIRE PROTECTION ONLY! Sentry does not advertise them as security safes, and folks shouldn't assume they are designed for that. These basically only have drywall (gypsum) in the walls, and are made from thin gauge metal. The gypsum is "hydrated", which means it has water bonded in its molecular structure. As it's exposed to the heat of a fire it actually begins to steam water out of it! The water evaporates, and by doing so absorbs heat, and that keeps the contents of the safe cooler than 1700'F for about an hour. Because the gypsum is hydrated it makes the interior of the safe very humid - under certain conditions nearly as humid as a cigar humidor! It's important you put anything valuable in a Tupperware-like container with a silica desiccant pack to avoid moisture damage. If you want a real SECURITY SAFE you will need to spend at least a $1000, and be prepared to handle a 500+lb safe that will need to be bolted into concrete for maximum security. Look for a used one at a safe dealer and you can save a lot of money.

What kind of toms are those?

This is also sitting out in the open. Put it in a corner location and surround it on 3 or sides and none of that leverage is happening. Block it in top, bottom, left, right, and rear with nothing but the front exposed, then try it.

I like to bounce open Sentry safes, it's a hoot

I GOTTA SAY.... The anchor gave you more leverage if anything.

Well I was going to comment on the safe being bolted but I see others have already done that.

Bolting it to the floor made it easier to break it. However if safes are not bolted then then it can be more easier to carry it away using a moving dolly..

This is the type of safe I need then. Cus if you don't know the password, & you wreck mine, you replace it, I'll know you went into it. Love. Love. Love.

is there a way to do it without leaving marks?

So you have to break into it twice? Once to bolt it down and the second time to pry it open?

Is it a burglary proof safe or just a fire proof one?

What if the safe wasn't anchored at all, he wouldn't have any leverage to pry with?

Gordon Freeman's weapon of choice.

Eye opening!

Who cleaned up that mess when you finished?

I would argue that bolting it down only helps an attack such as the one that was employed.

That Ace style round lock could have been picked in under 30 seconds without all the work too LOL

What a complete waste of a good safe for this video...think of the children in Africa that could have eaten that safe.

Just curious, would removing the digital part/keypad, keyport and knob alone also open a digital safe?

Use a very rare earth magnet instead of bolting that to the floor to make it so much easier. It looks like it is made of polystyrene.

Me: We're going to see some pretty cool high tech safe-cracking skills. Video - Proceeds to pull a hammer, chisel and 5-foot crowbar just off camera.

well Im getting a full size Remington. Awesome video.

That didn't take 2 minutes... the timer was real time and you were at least x4 forward

One thing I noticed was that your safe was in the middle of the room and you were able to work on the safe from all sides. My home safe is bolted down in a corner of the room, and the door corner that you chisel on is flush against a solid wall. Would you still be able to get the leverage you need to pry open a safe of this size without being able to stand and pry from the left side of the safe (such as in 1:37 in this video)? I'm curious how much longer the placement adds to the safecracking attempt. What if the safe was in a room with limited physical space to maneuver a prybar both to the left and above? Would the safecracking attempt take so long as to discourage further effort? Or would your attention turn to first using the pry bar to try to break the safe free from the floor bolts, and then attack the safe?

I just had to urgently open my own. The electronic lock failed. Didn't time it but....yup, few minutes. It's a fire safe, no surprise.

use the magnet where the solenoid is located

is there a type of safe that cannot be broken into or is alarmed that the police would come?

It's easy to prevent this. Pour a raised concrete platform in the basement. This will keep the safe off the floor in case of minor flooding and make access a little easier. Pour a rebar and angle iron reinforced case around the outside. This encasement needs to extend 6 to 10 inches past the front of the safe door. The safe will be recessed into the enclosed concrete container. The door may only open 90 to 100 degrees, so if there are stupid drawers inside, they might become unusable. The bottom line; you can't pry and chisel the door open because leverage tools won't fit.

The reality is that this type of safe provides reasonable protection against fire and zero protection against forced entry ☹️

whats the white powder all about

what about a cast iron old skool safe that takes 4 people to lift it and requires a round key?

You wouldn't have been able to break into it if you hadn't bolted it to the floor. These safes are made to protect items from fire damage, they are not really burglary-proof safes. That's why they only cost a couple hundred bucks vs. a couple thousand for a good safe.

Have you not seen the magnet+sock method? Less than 5 seconds with a magnet and sock

Mcjuggernuggets lol

Imagine if you were breaking into your dad's safe because he stole $30,000 from you. LOL Oh wait I forgot that already happened.

I prefer a stick of dynamite....just for the theatrics! lol

Maybe you could show safe safes ?

One of many RU-vid pages that show how to break into a "big box sold" home safe. No practical advice on alternatives, unless you decide to spend three times or more on a safe that might cost more than its contents. In fact, bet a lot of houses have floors that couldn't support "professional" safes weighing several hundred pounds. Of course, this safe is out in the open, bolted down (which makes it EASIER to pry open, since it doesn't shift), and attacked by a strong young man who knows what he's doing. While not excusing any shortcomings in AFFORDABLE home safes ... they're better than NOTHING, right? ... this information is more amusing than helpful. I've spent many hours over the last few days searching online, trying in vain to find comprehensive information to support an affordable purchase, but that's not to be found.

Are you going to clean the dust-up

Does anyone know what's the name of the music he used?

Looks like a wafer lock on the door as an override. A simple cheap lock jiggling (very little knowledge required) key would open this up with no destruction. If physical attack is the preferred option to avoid then fasten it down deep in a closet. That way it is difficult to have space to lever the door.

Or you can use a double cut saw from Harbor Freight Tools simply by cutting around it

any standered house safe can be busted in less then 2 min with a good hammer and a good prybar you just have to use it right. I know I have busted safes safes with a 2 houre ratting in less then a min.

how to open a safe quick and easy: BLOW IT UP

He said they bolted it to make it more difficult he is lucky that he did bolt it, because now he has leverage
