Ok, as mentioned in another thread I purchased a Lock'Er Down Console Safe for our 2017 Toyota 4Runner. First I have to say the people at Lock'Er Down are extremely nice and helpful. In fact I got two calls, one from the owner's daughter Desarae, and another one from the owner himself Bobby. They were just checking in and seeing how things worked out and if I had any questions, concerns, or complaints. Since I didn't, we talked about other things which I rather enjoyed.
I did learn they source the steel, packing foam, and shipping boxes in Texas or at least the U.S if that matters to you. All their safes are made in Texas and are NOT, let me repeat this ...... NOT made for anyone else and nobody else manufacturers their safe's for them.
Ordering online was easy and I opted for the Abloy keyed lock with three keys. When unlocked, you cannot remove the key. Some people get the combination lock because they can leave it unlocked with their firearm inside the safe while driving or sitting inside the vehicle then lock it before leaving. The reason I opted for a keyed lock is, I know I would probably forget to lock it back up before exiting the vehicle and have to go back, or at least not remember and have to go back and double check. So, for me the keyed lock was best. If you lose the keys, you have to contact Lock'Er Down and they have to contact the manufacturer to replace them. You will get a card with the numbers associated with your specific keys, so you will not want to lose that. Ok, really just don't lose the keys but that's why I paid for three instead of just two.
The safe itself is constructed of 12 gauge cold rolled steel, has a spring loaded lid, and has a cut out on the bottom for the power port located inside the console. The safe also comes with two longer bolts for the installation. I did not use the washers from the original bolts as they are not necessary.
All you need to install the safe is a 10mm socket, I used a deep well socket, extension, and a ratchet. Inside the console there is a plastic compartment divider (it just pulls straight out) and a foam pad on the bottom (not glued) once removed you see the two bolts. Total installation time was about 10 minutes.
Shown with my XD-SC with spare mag just for size reference. Not a ton of space but enough for a firearm, spare ammo and a little bit more. I will probably get some foam and make a better holder for my guns.
The fit is very good, Bobby guarantees the fit, so if you have problems they will take care of you. One thing some might niggle about, is it covers up the little coin storage holder thing a little bit. But since I don't care about that, it's not a negative to me.
All in all, I am a satisfied customer and can recommend the company and their product.
