About Sturdy Safes Locking System

• Eliminated All Unnecessary Moving/Breaking Parts

Sturdy Safe abolished the need for problematic clutches and shear pins designed to break within the safe. By doing so, we have eliminated the possibility of getting locked out if they somehow break by simple everyday usage or being a little abused. 80% less moving parts than all safes on the market. Less weak moving parts means less weak moving parts that potentially break. Click Here to see what bad linkage looks like.

• Oversized Hardplate

Sturdy Safes' properly mounted hardplate protects against drilling, punching, or manipulating of the combo box, the main re-locker, and all the linkage parts. It's 1/4 inch thick, and 3" D x 5" W x 60-72" H. After it's formed into a channel, it's hardened all the way through at another company and then welded directly to the door. This adds to the stiffness of the door itself.

• Deadbolt Clamping Action That Seals The Door Shut

Door clamps down as deadbolts engage to help seal the door shut. The deadbolts are designed in a way they wont accidentally lock the owner out if they forced the dead bolts to clamp down on something like a rag or a strap from a rifle.

• Fully Supported Deadbolts

Sturdy Safes' supported deadbolt housing helps guide and reinforce the 4 moving deadbolts to align properly no matter what's in the way. 8 strategically placed deadbolts total. 8 are more than enough to secure a safe door, so be leery of companies who boast of how thick, long, or how many deadbolts their safes have.

• 2 Independent Re-Locks

Sturdy Safes main relock will fire when it's needed (even if the cover of the combo box hasn't been broken off), and it never fires accidentally. It's also protected behind the hard plate. Once engaged, it's a very serious relock to disengage.

• Strong Damage Resistant Linkage Connections

When compared to all other gun safes on the market, our linkage connections are 4 times bigger and stronger than they need to be. They are even stronger than the handle shaft it 'self, so years of abuse will not affect it. This body design allows the door's deadbolts to be slammed shut multiple times, while engaged (with the bolts sticking out) without leaving any marks on the outside surface or damaging the linkage.

• Sargent And Greenleaf Premium Grade Group II Combination

Sturdy Safe use a UL rated group 2 premium grade, commercial combination lock by S&G that most safe companies don't use. Model number "6730" It's key changeable, and easy to change to a new combo number. Combo box is mounted to the door first, and then, hard plate is slipped in between.

• No Servicing Or Repairs Will Ever Be Required

Sturdy Safe linkage will never need to be serviced, nor will it break. We offer a lifetime warranty to back up this claim. Even in heavy safe usage atmospheres (like sheriff departments), with 20 or more openings a day, our safes have never had a single failure.

• Combination Deadbolt Reinforcement

Sturdy does not rely on the strength of a pot metal combination box for the needed strength of the lock system. Instead, Sturdy Safe installs a combination deadbolt reinforcement, which strengthens the lock system to 18,000 pounds of resistance. This helps make the safe the most durable, abusive resistant safe on the market.
