UN-Kid-proof safe

[AJ Dual]

If it was a "Gun Vault" brand, IIRC, it accepts combinations of up to six entries (maybe more?) in length, and each entry in the combination can be a "Chord" of two, three, or all four buttons pressed together.

So you could have a combination of "4, 1+2, 1+3+4, 3, 1, 2+3" etc, and that is WAY more than 4 to the 4th power (256) combinations. That's more like the 12 Million that Torghn and Jorg mentioned...

With practice, it's no harder than a four single key entry.

But a big +1 to the discipline AND demystification issues above being the first line of defense.

May want to try something w/ a SIMPLEX lock on it like a:

There are others, I was going to suggest handgunsafe.com but apparently they're on a break from making safes?

Anyway, the nice thing about these locks, no power required, no key available/required, there's only one way in, and that's the code. As for how it functions, you can choose any combination of buttons, you don't have to use all buttons to throw them off, you can enter some buttons simultaneously if you want, then others individually, making it more confusing, AND it doesn't just spring open when you happen to get the code right, you have to enter the code and turn the handle at the right time, kind of like an old dial combination lock, remember you have to dial the 3 codes then try to pop the lock, this is the same way.

If I'm nearby, I can punch in the code, but not turn the dial, then turn the dial when I want in quick, then before I leave, I can turn the dial the other way to erase/reset the code.

You can probably make the existing one tougher to get into as someone mentioned, but just thought I'd share another option.

Good luck, whatever you do.
