Thread: Chubb safe

Hi all, Got the option to grab Chubb safe as my next gun safe....400kg monster!
What to pay one such safe?? Any ideas guys? Biggest hassle is getting to my place
Cheers

Chubb make good stuff, but I think the exposed hinges might be a vulnerability?

Is it tall enough for rifles? Only one available? They don't seem to go for much, $500?

I would think that it would have locking pins inside that keep it secure if the hinges are gassed.

Yes at 1350mm inside it plenty hi enough

Usually 4-600

Can be moved by levering up and putting steel pipes underneath as rollers

Do it but don't move house

Cut the hinges off and the door will still be as secure as it was before.

The hinges are not part of the security.

That is an ideal gun safe.

Check out the back of the safe some of them have lighter gauge steel it may not be E cat compliant though I doubt any one will be able to carry
400kg very far but you know how pedantic AO's can be.

The "exposed hinges" are no issue and have nothing to do with security. Like my converted ATM safe, there is a heavy metal strip that runs down the vertical face at the hinge end and the door sorta clips behind it. You could cut the hinges off and have got nowhere.

..woops, just spotted Systolic's post

Fair call. I've never tried to crack a safe, so wouldn't have a clue.

Well ,I can vouch for Chubb.....I have one for my guns,I also worked for them at there Kenepuru plant during my school days....helped mixed the batches of rock etc that went into making these safes...interesting process to say the least...

ah now i gotcha.
will you still have to secure it to the floor or wall??

Well not really mate....we actually built a space for it,then framed on the outside of it so you can’t pull it out,it’s there permanently unless you take a jack hammer to it....so really,I got you!!!!
