I have a LockerDown. I installed a magnet on the side. If I had to do it all over again... I'd get a LockerDown and put a magnet on the side. I freaking love it!!! I can put all kinds of stuff in there too!
Gun Safe in center console?

I'm not a fan of pistols in condition one without a holster or at the very least something covering the trigger since I have other crap rattling around the console. That's why I don't like the magnet idea for myself.
How did you secure the holster? That's what I want to end up with but have no good idea how to secure the holster in there so it doesn't come out with the gun.

Drilled some holes in the side and bolted in.

I have a trigger guard mini holster when my ccw is under the steering wheel.
Only time it ever gets put in the console safe is if ; me and the fam is going into a no carrying restaurant or establishment. I've only encountered this in UTAH. I think don't quite understand the ruling about that but I follow the signs when I'm out of state just incase.

I also have the Lock'r Down with the same keypad and love it. My code is 8 digits (you can make it more if you want) so much harder to crack than 3. There is also a YouTube video of a guy that had a Console Vault that had been broken into. I also picked mine up in person when I was in San Antonio. Great people.
I like being able to go into the gym and leave my wallet and phone in the vault. Otherwise I would have to take it inside with me and that is a hassle. If I were to start over from scratch with a new 4Runner, the Lock'r Down would be the first thing I put in.

I also have a Lock’r Down in my truck. I love it; the only complaint I have is the lock seems a bit flaky... if I over torque the latch when locking it (even just a LITTLE bit) it will occasionally not want to unlock on the first try.
This requires giving the handle a little jiggle, entering the code again, and then it’ll usually open.
The first time this happened I nearly shit myself; I thought I was going to have to cut the damn box open

I also have the Locker Down with electronic lock and love it. I also got two magnets. the gun on one side and 2 mags on the other side. The magnets hold great. No movement or rattling with a full size HK and 15 round mags. the keypad is smooth face. I wish it had something so you could feel the numbers if you were trying to unlock while driving. still a great product
I wasn't asking you to pull it out and measure it for a competition, but since you went there I'm an 07/02 FFL with more years building and demoing guns and destructive devices for law enforcement and the military than you have been "fondling" them. This really had nothing to do with the size of your ego but I'm glad that's out of the way. :lmao:
Do you leave nothing else in the console with the gun? That would solve the problem for me too but there aren't enough convenient places to store shit in this truck so the console holds other random stuff besides the gun and mags. With stuff rattling around in there, I'd prefer to have the trigger secured.

Mine came with the magnets. I would have to find them to see what they are. You could call Lock r Down and I am sure they would tell you.

For my setup I bought the 90lb(I believe) round magnet found at Home Depot. It comes with a mounting hole in the center. I used the appropriate size drill bit and secured it with a locking nut and bolt. Very simple. Measure twice drill once.
You don’t even know what an 07/02 is do you :bored:
I asked some questions relevant to the thread and I got spittle laced mouth frothing from some poser. Move along you amateur.

I have the Toyota OEM brand console safe and I love it. Very happy with it and I love that it has the much larger striker/steel locking assembly. Highly recommend

Sorry for the sidetrack guys.... But are you an idiot or what? Wow! you can sell or possess a NFA weapon. I'm actually not impressed. I was issued a few and now that I'm retired I "legally" have some NFA items still. Which anyone with a clean record can do! Soooo....... once again FFL LMAO. I bet you make all the gun shows with your cute little table and your vast wealth of knowledge.
FFL Hahahahahahahaha
