I have the 6031 Fort Knox Defender. I bought the one from 03 that has four locking bolts on right side, one on top, one on bottom, and three fixed bolts on the other side with internal hindges. How hard would it be to smash this open? Where can I get a “Its a federal crime to steel from an FFL dealer sticker”?
This video really turns me off about Fort Knox. First they test a Glock and a Mossberg shotgun??? These guns prob would function after going through a fire itself? Then they dont show how much work it does or does not take to get in it? Did the pry it open? How did they get in it and how hard was it? This is a higher series safe that Fort Knox makes with corrner bolts…
I have two gunsafes myself…Amsec’s, anyway, From reading your post I’m assuming you’re thinking of a frontal assualt on the door itself…Most thiefs intent on getting into the safe, won’t waste time with the door, The safe body is only 10 ga steel, a gas operated abrasive wheel saw could cut a hole in the side in just a couple minutes, so could a torch, or a 6" right angle grinder and some wafer wheels, Safe manfacturers make a big deal about the door and the number of lugs, etc, But the real weak spot is the safe body itself, most gunsafe bodys are thicker gauges of sheetmetal, thicker, but still sheetmetal, and fairly easy to get into. If a theif has the time, and tools and knowhow, they’re easily gotten into…A possible fix I thought about, Get some 1/4" plate and cut panels out that match both sides, top, bottom,back, and around the door,Weld these to the safe body, weld all the way out (no stich welding)on all the seams. This would make the body a bit thicker (and alot heavier) and harder to get into.The harder it is to get into, the less likely they’ll waste time with it, Time is everything on a break in, the longer it takes, the better the chances are of getting caught.
