TL-30 vs. TL-30×6 for home use—worth the premium?

I’m considering a TL-30 vs the x6 safe, but comparable TL-30×6 options cost roughly 2× more. Is the additional tested protection on the sides, back, top, and bottom worth that premium for residential use, or is it diminishing returns?

For a properly anchored safe, how realistic are side/rear attacks during a home burglary?

Would appreciate firsthand input from safe technicians or owners on when ×6 is worth the extra expense.

How to?

Hi Reddit,

We have this old safe in my local shooting range. I'have the code who is composed of three numbers and the carved arrow in the wood of the shelf behind indicate the first rotation direction. When I attempt to open the safe, I reset the wheel by rotating in the direction of the arrow at least five time. Then I rotate three more time in the same direction and I stop on the first number. I change direction and I stop when I'm on the second number two time, then I change direction and I stop on the last number. Despite this, I can't open it. What do I do wrong?

Lost cabinet key; Can I get a replacement using the lock number (310)?

Hi everyone!
I’ve lost the key to this metal cabinet. The locking mechanism works perfectly, but without the key, anyone can simply turn the handle and open it.
There’s a number 310 engraved on the lock, but I can’t identify the manufacturer.
Does anyone recognize this lock or know where I could get a replacement key?
Is the number 310 enough to order a new key, or would I need to replace the lock entirely?
I’ve attached some pictures.
Thanks in advance!
