RE: Gun Safes: Lessons Learned?
Rebel Hog, Since you were in the safe business I have a question.When my ProSteel was attacked. The shear pin was sheared.I called ProSteel about a new shear pin.I got nowhere.I have a cotter pin in it now. I think it would shear but not sure.What would you recommend putting in it?If I remember correctly it's approx a 1/4" hole in the handle.Could you tell me where I might order the correct pin?And or what would you recommend putting in it? I had a aluminum wire that was undersized. There was allot of slop in the handle.The cotter pin tightened the handle but my concern is if it will shear again if another attempted break in occurs.I had to laugh when the locksmith came out to open it he asked for the combo.He made a paper dial.It opened.Then his guy I don't know from Adam says he forgot to bring something from his shop. My safe is opened and he asked if I would run to his shop for the thing he forgot.I don't think so.The next day the safe was gone to my brothers house. I'm impressed with my ProSteel. The thug sheared the pin,tried prying the dail off,but it kept him out.That right there paid for the safe.I recommend any gun owner to invest in a safe and a alarm system.It only takes one time to clean you out.
Thanks for your help Rebel Hog.
