Are there many comments about thieves breaking into this safe?

No one has said there safe was broken into...they said they were not purchasing after I emailed my pictures to them. It is believed teenagers were ones that destroyed mine. I will say once inspected what was left...VERY LITTLE METAL on safe....I bought a steel one from Target.com that is at least metal and around same price.

I hope you're asking as the potentially robbed, and not as the potential thief! However, my theory is to lock every single thing I leave in the room, and at least I can frustrate the impulsive thief, the one that can't resist an opportunity. I think there are more of those than the plan-ahead thief who breaks in with the plan to steal something specific. Of course, light items like backpacks and briefcases can just be carried out. I'll usually lock my backpack and then leave it inside my suitcase which is also locked. Some hotels have large enough safes to stash a small laptop or spare cash. I must say - there is so much security these days that I'm not sure it's worth it to worry. Be prepared, and usually you'll be happy with the results. And bolt cutters can thwart any lock, zipper, or clasp.

any safe can be broken into this one you would need a crow bar and a sledge hammer, In short it is pretty secure

A thief can, if they are thinking clearly, after the alarms gives them an earful. If not, like most, they'll likely take off running. Or maybe they'll just burn the place down which no alarm can prevent. For the money this is a nice product. Though I am only using as a door chime.

Any safe can be broken into. Banging it your first didn't work for me.It does what it's supposed to do for the price. Prescription meds, guns, ammo, jewelry.Number of times people come here and ask for combination it must work pretty well. :-)

you will not be doing so. You could bolt it to a sturdy shelf or bookcase but you will not bolt this to a floor. Additionally a determined thief will destroy the shelf to hell and back to get it, but it will take time for them to get it open. If you want a safe that will bolt to the floor then you will have to increase the amount of money you're willing to spend. This is a great brand, but this safe is meant more for personal use in a safe home to keep people out that are not skilled thieves or gangsters.

No! This lock has worked wonderfully at our house! We haven't had any break ins since we installed it, while prior to this lock we had 4. We actually did have an issue with our landlord (I live in a college town and leases are yearly) about changing the doorknob to a locked code. He was worried that in an emergency he would not have access to our house. (Trust me, I lol'd at what kind of emergency would require him to get into our home..) But to appease him we set a "User Code" for him and his maintenance crew to use. Installation was easy & this product works great. All of our neighbors have installed it as well.

I use mine in a large safe and they've been there for over a year. I probably go in and out of the safe about 5-10 times a month and each time the safe is only opened long enough to remove or return items.

Yes, there is a hole at the center of the safe along with an included bolt to be inserted from the inside of the safe.

I haven't tried to break into it, but it feels VERY secure. It is a solid metal piece of hardware. Even if someone were to pry if off of the house I doubt they could open it. Hope this helps.

Not real sure as I have been recording off site to keep the information safe should I have a break in.

I don't believe that they do. This is purely a mechanical lock - if you mess up entering the combination, just twist the dial counter-clockwise and try again. This is unlike an electronic safe w/ a "lock out period" after a certain number of incorrect entries, and would allow somebody to brute force guess a combination more quickly. However, the trade-off is this is not susceptible to battery or electronics failures (both of which I've experienced w/ the electronic safes.) Personally, I prefer the trade-off of better reliability to potentially more secure against brute-force guessing. Keep in mind, NO small, portable safe (or even big installed vault) is truly 100% secure. This is a very well built and solid unit, by the way - great for travel and/or vehicle storage.

My safe also came with a key to open the safe, the only thing was once I put the key in it wouldn't come out. Not much of a safe if you can't remove the key!

If it has I can't find it on their website. But I can tell you that, based on the way it is installed (several long screws into either a wood floor or concrete slab), and the fact that it is down low makes it very strong. An intruder would break a deadbolt or door chain off of the door jamb WAY before they could get past this device.

I asked my son, who got the safe as a gift...he believes there was a number you'd get when registering the safe online that would be used as proof of ownership if you lost a key...but since he can't find his paperwork......sorry. We can't be sure what phone # or site you'd use.

It seems pretty secure, but like anything I'm sure if you really work that you could break in. That goes without saying, you could break into a car house as well. I think for it's purpose, it's a pretty good level of security.
