Quite literally, some of these were opened by the author's 3-year-old lifting one side of the safe and dropping it. The locking mechanism is spring-loaded and even trivial vibration is enough. Even better, many of these are Cal. DOJ approved.
Yes, if screwed to a flat surface this approach would likely not be feasible but could you bang one on the side hard enough?
I keep my guns in a Browning safe that is not spring-loaded and only Bam-Bam from the Flintstones could lift and a safe whose mechanism I fully understand which is not readily defeated by this approach. I would love to know if any of the current safes (made in China, of course) have fixed these problems. I have also read that some kitchen cutlery can defeat some of them.
