Seems cool until the Wyze app is used to lock your gun safe remotely because you supported the wrong political candidate or posted wrongthink on facebook.

Pass.

I don't know if Bluetooth can override other means of opening. Article is wrong aboutn3 locking lugs. Not sure if it's worth $120 more than the standard locking box.

I opened the thread looking for a gun safe, but only got a gun lock box.

Sorry . . . I don't get it. If a thief brakes in to steal valuables, he will just grap that thing and worry about opening it later. He doesn't know what's inside; all he needs to know is that it's worth something.

A fully bolted down 800lbs. safe is something entirely different. Short of that, I'm more a fan of hiding stuff so that a thief would have to spend way to much time to find it.

A gun safe that is connected in some way to a smartphone via Bluetooth is connected to the Internet the same way the smartphone is connected.

That's not a gun safe, it's a lock box.

That's not a gun safe, it's a lock box.

If it meets the construction standards for a gun safe, it's a safe even if it's size is such that it appears to be a lock box. From the manufacturers description, it's a gun safe and not a lock box. The specs don't speak to the boltwork size but if it meets the criteria then it's a gun safe.

It has the correct gauge steel and type of hinges.

"A gun safe that meets all of the following standards:

Shall be able to fully contain firearms and provide for their secure storage.

Shall have a locking system consisting of at minimum a mechanical or electronic combination lock. The mechanical or electronic combination lock utilized by the safe shall have at least 10,000 possible combinations consisting of a minimum three numbers, letters, or symbols. The lock shall be protected by a case hardened (Rc 60+) drill resistant steel plate, or drill resistant material of equivalent strength.

Boltwork shall consist of a minimum of three steel locking bolts of at least 1/2-inch thickness that intrude from the door of the safe into the body of the safe or from the body of the safe into the door of the safe, which are operated by a separate handle and secured by the lock.

A gun safe shall be capable of repeated use.

The exterior walls shall be constructed of a minimum 12-gauge thick steel for a single walled safe, or the sum of the steel walls shall add up to at least 0.100 inches for safes with two walls. Doors shall be constructed of a minimum one layer of 7-gauge steel plate reinforced construction or at least two layers of a minimum 12-gauge steel compound construction.
Door hinges shall be protected to prevent the removal of the door. Protective features include, but are not limited to: hinges not exposed to the outside, interlocking door designs, dead bars, jeweler's lugs and active or inactive locking bolts.

A gun safe that is able to fully contain firearms and provide for their secure storage, and is certified to/listed as meeting Underwriters Laboratories Residential Security Container rating standards by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL)."

You can open it with an old fashioned key.

Might be able to yank its blue tooth antenna if it bothers you?
