I've never heard of them (if that means anything).

this safe is made by AIPU safe china.
I am happy with the body construction ( 1/8 inch) and the door construction (1/4 inch). But when i unscrewd the carpet back of the door to see the locking mechanism, i was a bit disapointed. but maybe im wrong i dont very know much about gun safe, it looked like if you put a lot of strenght to turn the tri-spoke handle, you could break a 1/4 inch pin that alow you to get in the safe. The seller told me that if someone try to turn the wheel very strongly the only thing that will happen is to broke a brass cuter pin in the handle, leaving it to turn freely, and leaving me to drill the safe to get it open. The fire insulation is made by three layer of sheet rock at the door and 2 for the body.
what do you think ??
thank you

They look simliar to the Diamond Series that I sell. I don't know what they are charging, but the Diamonds that I sell are decent safes for the money.
Assuming they are the same, they aren't bad.

So if someone try to turn the handle very strongly and broke that cutter pin in the handle, can it be change without have to drill open the safe?? and if we have to drill it open that mean that the safe is good for garbage??
thank you sir for your help

Many safes have mechanisms that prevent force to the handle from damaging the lock within the safe. Sometimes this is as simple as a roll pin (or cotter pin), and sometimes it's a complex clutch mechanism.
It really depends on the design of the safe whether or not drilling would be required. I had an older fort knox with a forced handle, and I was able to coax the door open by leaning the safe over on its side. Turns out that it was only a simple roll pin that needed replacing. The problem was that it took almost 3 hours of labor to fix, as Fort Knox had welded everything instead of using bolts.
Drilling a safe is usually not something that will damage it beyond use, so long as it is done professionally by somebody who knows what they're doing. We drill safes on a regular basis, repair them, and put them immediately into service again.
