Found a manual, it shows six tiny screws for the "bolt-down" install kit. So any burglar with a crowbar can remove it?

I used my own screws, so they'd have to take up most of the floor board with it. I figure most break-ins are looking for easy carry anyway. If they want to bother with a safe bolted to the floor they are going to get it one way or another. I don't have the cash for a 1000# safe, so this worked pretty well for me.

The screws are not tiny and the apparatus secured by the screws fits inside the safe so that it makes a tight seal. I think it would take something more than a crowbar to extract the safe. However, if someone is motivated enough, this safe can be removed, unlike say a larger safe weighing several hundred pounds.

yes, they could. Really if they have a saws or claw hammer they could cut it open. They are not very think skinned. From when I researched these things. You can get either a fire proof one or a very tough one, but not both. To get one that could not be busted out easily you would need one that was made out of 1/4" steel or so. These are a very thing layer of metal over plastic with foam laminated between the metal and plastic. These would probably keep the average thug out but not any real criminals.

Sorry to hear that. Ours came with instructions and screws. I'd send it back.

Last answer is best choice. Drilling can be tricky perhaps 3/16 bit, but eventually you will be able to turn core with slotted screw driver. Remove nut / clip securing the lock and bring to hardware store for replacement. I here, because of mail thief in our neighborhood, I know you can pry this box open with large screw driver, and the only damage that occurs was the lock back cam bends, removed and bent cam back place and all was fine. Just a option to drilling. I bought the mail boss box, for its anti pry design.

You can take it off with or without one, 2 small pry bars will do the job, plus a good rubber malet to install.

I'm not sure i have never tried removing any #6 or #8 screws. I would think you you could.

Hello Welson! When i bought this item, the box had all needed itens to install in your door. You dont need to buy any other additional itens. You will only need a screw driver, and a drill.

I'm sorry to say that I hired someone to install it, and don't know where he got it. I'm sure that if you took it to your local hardware store, or even Home Depot ,etc, that they would be able to advise you.

There's a tool that comes in the package to unscrew and remove the peephole then install this device in the same hole. It literally takes less than 10 minutes to complete the entire process

The key hole is behind the "Barska" nameplate. Remove with the Allen wrench supplied.

The kit should be able to take them off but your going to have to reall get the thing on there tight. A better option would be ordering a new key from mcguard

It can be taken down. I think the bolts will come out fine. It will be time consuming, but definitely doable. Just make sure you don't lose any parts or you'll have to reorder from Lifetime directly. As long as you keep the manual, reassembly should go smoothly.

Someone else commented that it takes alot to remove this and I agree. Anyone trying to take this will be spending a bit of time trying to remove it. As suggested, tamper proof nuts would seem like a good way to go. A long shank padlock would probably fit over the crossbars and rack and lock it on too.

Pretty easy sir. Pop the panel or screw/bolts. It's a 50/50 on the bracket that you use it or bolt. the new built kits are cheap and not very hard. 1 to 10 on removal/install 4.

I looked again and there may be 6 screws in the rear. Also - there may be additional screws behind the front silver grill. I did not attempt to pry the grill off but that may be your answer. Good luck.
