Overall - I knew what I was buying from TSC on closeout for less than $500. The mechanism is solid overall, but does not function as a true multi-bolt lock quality safe. The door is locked via eight 1" security bolts - four of which are static and only secure the rear of the door into the frame, while the front of the door has four dynamic bolts (actuated by the three spoke handle) that lock into appropriate recesses in the inner frame. The door itself is a composite sandwich of two layers of steel and sheetrock to provide extra frontal protection. It does come with a generic Chinese electronic push-button locking mechanism, and a three spoke door handle. What you see here is an example of a 12 and 14 gauge sheet steel lock box with a 1/2" sheetrock and carpet interior insulation to get a marginal fire rating of 1400 degrees for 45 minutes. Although Winchester does produce/contract many safes in the US, essentially most all the big box store offerings are usually made in China. This Winchester TS 26 (26 gun safe) and a similar TS-19 (24 gun safe) were specifically made for Tractor Supply by Winchester and imported from China. This genre of "safe" (regardless of manufacturer) can be considered more of an impressive looking lock box than a safe. The example used is my new Tractor Supply Corporation Winchester (branded) TS-26 (26 gun safe) that I purchased yesterday to store some of my firearms. This is a general comment on low-end firearm security cabinets or "gun safes", and covers pretty much any manufacturer who competes in the low - consumer end of the firearm security market.
