Console Safe by Lock'er Down

[StevenFromTexas]

Steven,
I am in the process of building a new design to compliment or replace the one you bought. I am not sure what people will want, but I sent one like you bought to the FBI in Cleveland for their SWAT Suburbans, and they felt it was too small. My new design will fill the console, and must be assembled inside. When it is ready, I will post photos. If you or anyone else, would prefer the new design over the old, I will swap even, customer pay shipping both ways.

When you get it ready for market, make a post here. I'll go ahead and pay for the new one just so I can do a comparison review. I can always give the one I like least to my brother, who has a 2009 (I think) Chevy Tahoe.

I most certainly do like the one I have right now!

That sounds awesome

I'm not really sure wich one i will need to pick.

The USB port is available with the new design? And the power outlet? (I dont think but it's ok)

And with the future box (need to be assembled in the console) nobody will be able to "steal" the box right? (Sorry if my questions are stupid!)

With the new one, the top plate with the door and its surround will go it first, then the right side plate, the front plate, the rear plate and finally the left side plate. Each side plate will have two screws holding it to the floor. The rear plate will leave the USB and power ports exposed, and as with the first unit you can use the USB from the inside or outside with safe locked. I was at the fab shop today, and they were imputing the drawing into the program that controls the laser and the brake. Hopefully two weeks max to have the product. Say September 3rd?
I will post progress. I don't have a price quote yet, but should next week.

I know you will like the new one even better. It will have way more room, I'm thinking about 40% more. Check out the new C-Burr mounted holster on my website. The Tahoe coupon gives 10% off on these also.

Funny thing, a friend of mine in Louisiana told me about how much he liked the holster, so I call the manufacturer, and meet him at the gun show the next weekend. When I walked up to introduce myself, we realized we used to hot rod together and went to high school together in the mid to late 60's. Small world. We hadden seen each other in 40 years.

Maybe 2nd week September?

My fab shop has order 12 gauge cooled roll to build the next modell, should take a week or week and a half to be ready to ship. Here is a drawing

It have at least 50% more capacity than my previous model or the one offered by Console Vault.

If you look closely, this version has the top panel with door, two side plates, a front plate, rear plate and a strap that connects the front and rear portion.
I may make an economy model with just the top portion and the side plates.
Feedback welcome.
Thanks,
Bobby Newell
BTW, I have been out of the LD 2011's for about a week or two, but they are being make and should be ready in a week or so also.

Thanks for the updates, nice to see someone that keeps making their product better as they go. Im really interested in the economy kit also if its just the lockable top/door, just be nice to be able to lock the console, like they had on the NNBS truck consoles under the jump seat.

I recommend and use lock boxes with simplex push button locks for gun storage. It is not feasible to think you'll be able to access a key lock safe under stress. So you either leave it unlocked or you leave the key in it, neither of which is a good option.

I use the V-Line Compact box, shown here: http://www.vlineind.com/html/compact.html. It can mount vertically with the door opening down and away from you. Holds a GLOCK 21 quite nicely.

 

[RGNEWELL]

V-Line

Jim at V-Line makes some good products, but they are really aimed at home & office. As far as the simplex lock is concerned, a console safe with a combo lock is faster to open and can also be left latched but unlocked while the vehicle is occupied. I have CodeLocks available, but they are pretty heavy to use on a spring assisted door.

 

[AggiePhil]

Find me another small pistol safe that has a simplex lock (tactile operation, no light or sight required) that'll fit in a console and I'll be all over it. So far, the V-Line Compact is the only one I've found.

I can leave the key in the lock of the Console Safe by Lock'er Down, (model number LD2011A) if I want to, and close the factory console lid. Do you know if the new unit allows the key to be left in the lock when the factory console lid is lowered, or does the top panel and door ride higher up than the model I currently have?

 

[05Yukon23]

That's nice! What kind of box do you have in the back, Steven?

Are you referring to the Tuffy Security Products Tactical Gear Security Drawer that takes up all the space behind the second row seats to the rear door in my 2010 Tahoe? If so, here is a link to the topic on the installation: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26058

It seems I'm in a small minority of owners who have no use for third row seats, but for those that do, here's an option available that might be useful for those looking for a little extra security: http://www.mobilesecurityplusstore....ahoe_Yukon_Yukon_XL_p/suvault__model_3001.htm

 

[05Yukon23]

Thanks! That's exactly what I was asking about. I don't even have a third and haven't missed it a bit.

Actually there is slightly more room above the safe. The lid and trim close out are one unit that goes in first and butts up against the ridge.

I can put one of these on any of my safes $75 upgrade.

BTW, I have been out of the LD 2011's for about a week or two, but they are being make and should be ready in a week or so also.

Just picked up the LD 2011A's (2007 to 2012) and the 2011B's (2007 to 2009) yesterday. I went to the other fab shop, and the 2011X's (2007 to 2012 with larger volume) are going to be powder coated today, and may be ready Thursday. Anyone ordering them now, will not have their CC charged until they are ready to ship.
Pre-delivery orders are reduced $16 plus you also get 10% of using coupon code Tahoe. The 2019 for the 2007 up Avalanche is also available for $245, but I don't have pictures yet. They will be ready within a week.

i just placed my order for the LD2011X, so I can test it out against the stellar, excellent, top-notch LD2011A currently in my 2010 Chevy Tahoe. It's going to be hard to improve on the LD2011A.

It's on the way>>> But with the Abloy Lock. You should have it tomorrow.

A short while ago, I installed the LD2011X Console Safe by Lock'er Down from Mobile Security Plus ( http://www.mobilesecurityplusstore.com/ ) in my 2010 Tahoe. The unit does not block the USB port or 12-volt power port in the factory console. I added the Abloy High Security Lock option to the Console Safe. As I have mentioned before, I am not into combination locks; I like keys. I expect most people will prefer one of the combination lock options, however.

I wasn't really expecting much of an improvement over the LD2011A, but I was surprised that I really do have more room inside the LD2011X, and it will stay in my 2010 Chevy Tahoe. My brother is going to be the new owner of the LD2011A when I hand it to him shortly.

I already checked to see if a full-size 9mm pistol will fit on the left inside wall of the LD2011X. It will, and I have a holster that I will soon figure out how to attach to the wall. When I am finished, I'll post a picture.

So . . . . . . . . for those of you who are wondering whether to purchase the LD2011A or the LD2011X? My vote is for the LD2011X. I like it!
