What is the ETL rating for burglars trying to force it open with common tools?

UL rates generic safe cracking times. Most commercial safes including the TD series fall under the first 2, RSC and another. Basically, a knowledgeable burglar would be able to open it in less than 10 min with conventional safe tools. RSC level usually is everything 1500-$2000 and below. The next level is more specialized tools and 30 min for probably 5-$7k and below. Let's be clear though, these are knowledgeable safe crackers. No normal burglar that I know breaks into a normal house looking for a safe. They want to be in and out in less than 5 or 10 minutes hoping to find a jewelry chest or some electronics. A bolted down, quality RSC safe will be more than enough for the avg middle class american. No crowbar and sledgehammer are getting into the quality safes...a keyed storage locker maybe, but not a safe like this.

I"ve been through the manual and through their website for the safe. I have yet to come across anything about how long it takes to break into it. All the ETL stuff I found was related to fire. This is from their website "4-Way locking with 5 NEW 1.5" live action locking bolts and 3 dead bolts for 8 locking points". Five bolts are the thickness of a 2x4. They are stout! I've been impressed with the safe, and I looked a bunch of them. My main concern was fire though and its one of the better rated ones. It gives my volunteer fire dept more time to get there! http://www.stack-on.com/categories/total-defense-safes/products/255 I hope that helps some. I suppose you could contact them and ask them. :) I"ve been through the manual and through their website for the safe. I have yet to come across anything about how long it takes to break into it.

Gerber repaired this tool for me after 5 years of use no questions or proof of purchase date required. I was using the file to pry something and it snapped (my fault). The turn around time was very quick too. I realize it's not the exact answer to your question, but this was my experience.

The tools are pretty generic. I don't know the specific requirements for your Laptop but the tools will probably work unless your Laptop requires some oddly unique tool to open.

I have to agree with beholder242. The lock is as robust as it can be considering the application. I don't believe that the average person could defeat it simply by trying to pick it.

several hundred pounds of force will open almost any pad lock. All locks have weaknesses, add a lock enclosure to any pad lock and it wont be able to be shimed.

Yes we have tried to fool it.and also my biometric safe..It does not open for photocopied fingerprints using even the best types of paper..The only thing it may open for is if you have a 3D printing machine that can mimic an exact silicone replica of your finger..It might open for that since it will have all the indentations and grooves of your finger..But then again why go through all that trouble when you can just go in someones backyard and kick through there window..or just take a sledge hammer and knock off the most toughest deadbolts........The Nextbolt to me is a better alternative to the standard dead bolt not only because of the little bit of increased security it gives ..but for the convenience it gives by not using keys..If you are looking for the ultimate security this should not be your top choice..You may want to consider getting a very good wireless Alarm system with motion sensor in every room using the best monitoring system tied directly to the police..Also you may want to setup internet survelance cameras with night vision around your premises so you can monitor your property on a daily basis.And probably half inch steel bars on every window with Ram resistant doors on every entry..This is how we use to live in South America......If you live in a bad area ..Do not buy the next bolt..Consider one of the other few options above that i listed..

It has two forms of opening it..a digital passcode and the key itself, Is almost a round lug key...to be perfectly honest..I wouldn't buy the safe...was disappointed with the build quality and could easily be breached from the thin metal back..keep shopping around doc

The WS-9090K is NOT UL listed. The WS-9090K have ETL Certified. Thanks, eSteamShower

According to the minimum wall thickness, locking mechanism, and how to open the safe, this is short of California DoJ standards. Unless it has a residential security stamp, that they don't mention. I have the CA DoJ law in another tab while I am shopping at the moment.

I've not tried to pick the lock, but it looks fairly sturdy. I think if someone wanted to brute force the thing open THAT badly, they probably could, but they'd destroy the thing in the process.

I don't know. Had my alarm installed by a company and looking at get my detached garage alarmed.

Just show them that it does not have any sharp edges. It is their job to know that this "tool" does not violate any criteria. It has pass thru security with me 5 times I stopped taking it as it just slows me down and gets my bags searched. It appears to them to be a "wallet knife" on the Xray so they are going to flag it every time.

Yes. The key codes are stored with the lock and do not require an internet connection to open the door. You could have no internet at all and the codes would still work - the only issue would be remotely trying to deactivate codes or create new temporary codes.

You could probably get away with it....if you don't hang too many keys on it and/or too many papers. Just depends how much you want to load it down.

I have not opened or used mine yet, however it is suppose to be able to be used for business purposes, so I was told. Sorry not much help .

After looking up the difference between UL and ETL fire ratings, and I found that the claims for the SentrySafe units are a bit disingenuous at best. The ETL rating simply states that the test furnace is raised to the specified temperature (1550 degrees in this case) and the rating determined by the length of time it takes for the inside thermocouples to reach 350 degrees. The UL tests raise the temperature to the a specified temperature (in this case 1550 degrees), held for half an hour and then allowed to cool. Cooling can take up to 60+ hours, depending upon the size of the safe. In the the case of the smaller fire safes, this time would no doubt be shorter. But UL imposes a different standard for maximum inside temperatures. The rating has two rating classifications: a class rating, designated numerically (125, 150 or 350; these determine the maximum inside temperature at the end of the test) and a time rating (1/2, 1, or 2 hours). The 125 and 150 class rating is for electronic media. The 350 class rating is to provide a safety margin for paper, which ignites at 420 degrees, even in the absence of direct flame. So...yes, the box is fire rated for 1/2 hour, but be wary of the claim regarding your electronic media. Tapes would be destroyed, and even the survival of CD/DVD media would be questionable.
