About HomeSafeBench

Locksmith for 25 years. Has opened more safes than the manufacturers would like to admit, including ones the owners swore were impenetrable. Tests every safe the same way: a pry test with a 24-inch crowbar, a drop test, and a lock manipulation session. Keeps a workshop notebook of which locks fail under which tools.

Who's Behind This

Frank, based in Boise, ID, has been testing and reviewing home safes for years. Every review on this site comes from hands-on time with the actual product — not spec sheets.
