    Mucho gracias! We’ve not really had a chance to play with the RAPiD and honestly heard. I feedback, surprisingly. I looked into after I read this, reminds me of the Vaultek Smart Station, which seems to be a very popular seller. The Liberty series hand gun vaults have performed really well from our experience. Not just because we sell them, but also hearing from others about it.

    Mechanical is obviously going to be locksmiths first answer, that may never change, it’s what’s on mine. However, I think it’s fair to point out that companies like SecuRam and AMSEC have put out quality keypads for sometime. The fact Liberty and Browning ProSteel (and some others) are willing to put LifeTime Warranties on these keypads for an extra $130/$149 says a lot of back that up. SecuRam specifically does a 2,000 round test to all their locks. I promise you’ll hear 100 answers if you ask 100 locksmiths/people with safes. I’m basing it off what we see as a company who sells/services/moves about 100+ safes a month.

    Every safe dealer will tell you a traditional dial lock is more reliable than a digital. Problems aren’t that common, but when they do it’s always the digital locks. It comes down to steel in the construction. 3/8-1/2” in the door is great, but most doors with less will survive prying attacks. It’s the steel in the sidewalls to consider. The strongest door around is worthless if a $30 Harbor Freight grinder can eat a ring around the top of the safe so they can just reach in and pull the guns out. Between these two safes the Amsec is better as two layers of steel with that “concrete” mixture in between. A grinder has to go “deep” to cut both layers. Fire protection is hit or miss. It all depends upon the location inside the house. Firearms rarely survive unscathed in a total house loss. If that safe falls thru the floor those guns are going to get banged up. Lastly no safe holds the amount of guns they claim especially if you have a lot of bolt actions with scopes. Remember they aren’t “safes”, they are Residential Security Containers. It says so inside the door. If they were “true safes” they wouldn’t have 7-14ga sidewalls. So for smash and grab thieves, limiting access to kids, and SOME fire protection, a gun “safe” is a good idea. The biggest complaint about all safes is the buyer wishes they would have purchased a bigger model. Your collection grows and your wives will want to put stuff in there too! This video host is very knowledgeable. If you live in TX, buy from him. If you live in WA state, buy from NWSafe in Auburn, WA. Don’t ever buy a Chinesium safe from a big box store. I don’t care if it says “Winchester” on the front of it.

    Battery life - it’s one of those “We’ve heard lots of answers” and we don’t necessarily go off of manufacture specs. We want to test it. This one has been on display since the video was made (over a year). We charged it before the video or right after. It’s been charged once since, probably hasn’t been charged in 4-6 months and gets used several times a week. Yes, it can be bolted. Battery and motherboard are plenty out of the way for that.

  • @A1LocksmithofTexas
    @A1LocksmithofTexas19 күн бұрын

    Thanks for stopping by. If you open the door and try to throw the bolts out with no luck then you probably have a detent. Typically a detent is placed on the back side of the door or the bottom of the door, this will be a piece of metal sticking out like a bolt. Typically it’s got a black/red plastic cap or coating on the end. It’s sticking out like the bolts however, you’ll notice is tremendously smaller then a bolt. After locating the detent….door is open, depress the detent & at the same time rotate the handle/spindle to throw the bolts out in order to begin. It’s there to avoid throwing the bolts and slamming the door which would damage then paint (potentially the bolts, too).
