“Hello, On July 22, 2013, I came home to the unimaginable; my house was burglarized. I live on a main road in a relatively rural town and never imagined that this would happen. The burglar(s) kicked in an exterior door to gain access to my garage after trying to get in through windows and went into my house, looking for valuable. I had one of your Homak 8 Gun Steel Cabinets mounted to a wall backed with 3/4 plywood in my basement. This Gun Cabinet is over ten years old and one of the locks was damaged due to being mistreated over the years. The door could only be secured with the top lock. I was really surprised as to how the cabinet held up to the beating it took. The burglars found tools in my basement and were able to pry open the bottom (unlocked) portion of the door out enough to bend it with a barbel. After doing so, they tried to break the top lock to get inside. They ended up bending the barbell, but did not break the top lock. It also appears that they spent some time trying to smash the top lock of the door without success. In the end, despite only having 1 lock to secure the door, nothing was taken from the cabinet before they gave up. I’m sure your newer style 4 point locking system is even more secure. As with most people that own these cabinets, the contents I stored inside were worth much more than the cabinet itself. That one top lock prevented the burglars from opening it and making off with some valuable guns. I only wish the jewelry that was stolen was inside this cabinet along with the guns. My Homak cabinet was completely trashed and is now useless, but the guns and ammo stored inside are still with me. Getting them out was not an easy feat for me. It took two of us, with a combined weight of over 550lbs, several attempts to break the lock. These are very economical gun cabinets that provide more than enough security for the average owner. Whatever I paid was certainly worth it. A friend was so convinced after seeing the pictures of mine and how well it held up with just one lock, he bought one within a few days.
I will be buying another one soon and will likely purchase an in-wall safe for other valuables.”
