Can other CG members share performance reports, problems, warranty/customer service experiences for owning any other Simplex Mechanic Lock safes (regardless of size)? Please list the manufacturer and model to help us follow the same specs. Thank you!

I'm partial to this one for handguns.

I would avoid simplex lockboxes with backup tubular lock, which makes it vulnerable to low skill attack

Good observation. Can you share which manufacturers that you are aware of that incorporate back up tubular locks? Thanks.

I will have to ask lockpickinglawyer youtube channel to see if he is willing to test out camlock T8.

@Oldmandan: How you compare your Fort Knox and V-Line handgun safes? Do you mind sharing more details on your experiences, pros, cons, and concerns? Thanks!

@ohsmily: Can you share more about your Fort Knox experiences (good, bad, ugly, etc)? Thanks!

They are a little pricey but I have had nothing but positive experiences with Ft. Knox. I have a large safe and the simplex pistol box from them. I custom ordered my big safe. It has everything I wanted.

Interesting will have to research the specs in greater detail. How did you secure yours? Wish to learn what worked and what proved more troubling than it was worth. Thanks.

Really wish Fort Knox created a safe that can fit an assembled AR. Rather surprised after all these years they still have not created one to meet the need. Their competitors see the market and are trying to fill the need. But alas Fort Knox seems content to leave that market un-served.

If you know the YT lockpickinglawyer, kindly ask him to pick the handgun safes by Fort Knox and V-Line. The exercises would prove most interesting since those are the two most popular Simplex Mechanical locking safes. Thanks!

@FAS1: Thanks for sharing the resource and your previous comments. Does your company manufacture a larger Simplex Mechanical locking safe that can fit two ARs and two handguns? Kindly share the url if one exists. Thank you.

I love simplex locks. I don't even bother to write down gate codes for buildings with Simplex locks.

Hit the four shiny ones or the four dirty ones. Order doesn't matter.
