[QUOTE="Buckrun, post: 21234, member: 51"] No offense James, but the Kryptonite locks are junk. I can probably find two or three by my gate at my cabin that were smashed. I have been broken into and had all my shit stolen, smashed, ransacked, and messed up more than if I lived in a ghetto. Most recently, my cabin was broken into 3 weeks ago. In April, my buddies 4 wheeler stolen....and it was locked up. Here is what [B][U]doesn't[/U][/B] work: Any sized chain, cable, or lock that you can find in a Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, ect. If you look right next to these items in the store, you will see that they sell the "skeleton key" that will break them all without exception: Jumbo bolt cutters. Anybody that says they won't should see my pile of broken logging chains, Master Locks with shank guards the size of your fist, and any brand of lock they sell, including Kryptonite, which is actually a POS and easy to break. I bought armored master locks the size of softballs. A couple of shots with a rifle and they fall apart. I have bullet holes in my gate and pieces parts of locks there. Here is the [B][U]ONLY[/U][/B] thing that I found that CAN'T be opened by a bolt cutter, hacksaw, rifle shot, etc. : Commercial 3/4" hardened alloy cable slings made for lifting coils and huge chunks of metal in steel mills and foundrys. I found these mil-spec jumbo armored titanium/cobalt alloy locks from hell on the net from a specialty company that are guaranteed to be unbreakable for $80 a pop. So I tested them. I couldn't even get bolt cutters on them, a new hacksaw blade was ruined before it made a scratch, and I shot it 4 times with an AK47 with ball ammo at 10 feet and it just took the paint off. To date, nobody has got thru my gate....they just take what they can carry out when they get up to the cabin. At least they can't bring vehicles in and cart everything off including my damn split firewood! (which they have done) Of course, a cutting torch is the Ace of Spades with anything. But theiving robber hill jacks generally don't carry those in the backs of 1978 lifted chevys...they take up valuable cooler space for chillin the Busch beers! Not to mention the fact that tanks would obscure your huge #8 Earnhart Jr NASCAR sticker in the back window! (Is Dale Senior still dead?) :lol: James, the point is that EVERYTHING can be defeated quickly and easily with a pair of bolt cutters with some helper pieces of pipe on the handles in seconds. Minus my 3/4" cable and $80 specialty locks! [/QUOTE]
