Adding Console Safe Security

Photos by Kristin Burrell

Is your stuff safe? A lot of valuables left in vehicles are getting stolen. Smash-and-grabs are more common, and so having a way to secure things like cash, jewelry, checkbooks, wallets, or a defensive weapon is important. 

Locking the doors simply isn’t enough to keep the criminals away. No thief has walked up to a vehicle, looked in the window, and pulled on the door handle only to say, “Dang, it’s locked—I guess I can’t steal that wallet laying in the seat.”

Experts recommend adding a secured place in your vehicle hidden from plain view that has a thief-proof lock made from thick steel.

To achieve this extra protection, we contacted Console Vault and ordered one of its console safes built specifically for our ’23 GMC Sierra (Part #1117-4D with a $334 retail price). Safes are available for most newer vehicles, so finding one for your specific model is easy through Console Vault’s website. The safe we chose comes with the standard wrinkle black powdercoating to keep it from getting scratched. It also features a four-digit combination lock that lets you set a desired combination or change it as often as you’d like.

Installation is easy—anyone with a 10mm socket and a ratchet can get the job done in about 10 minutes. No cutting or drilling is required. Simply remove a couple factory bolts and reinstall them. Follow along and see how simple it really is.
