The combo lock would be a dead give away. The thief would be looking for food, or a cold beer anyway.Tom

If you leave the beer side unlocked, or make it easier to get in to, you should have a winning design I would think.

If I were a thief I would look into the fridge because I know a lot of people that hide stuff in the fridge

Did you get this from the movie " Out of the Blue " ? About a guy in Aus / NZ , that went nuts and shot up his hood & neighbors ? If you have the money , anything is possible . You can make it look like a fridge but built like a safe ( plated door , 1/4" plate walls , etc ) But what you would do is put a " Mag lock ( magnetic lock ) to keep it " locked . Lots of commercial buisnesess use them to hold the doors open 9-5 but after they are closed you need a key card entry to get in . Min is 300#s holding power . Then you get a " Bio metric " reader on the top of the fridge / sides but cover as to not make it stay out . But it will need to be hardwired & if the power goes out , your screwed . Why not just do an " Anne Frank " room with a remote lock ? I have seen a few in a couple of house back in the day .Andy

Hi Rob, a big old chest freezer is a better start and they came with a lock that could be upgraded, will you be at Bob's in May??

No Goose Lake this year.I signed up for Tejon (varmints only) starting in Feb thru August.Much closer for this SoCal guy. I will be able to convert some weekends without the huge drive.However, I will miss the fun time with you and yours...I'll report back to you in mid Febuary if it is a deal or bust.

How about putting the safe in a wall and putting a swinging book shelf in front of it.

There was a guy a couple of years back who converted an old coke vending machine into a safe. they are built to prevent theft and start out more safe like. DR
