finy Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet. Where could I get something like this made in CM? imagine the plate without the holes in the middle. squash two with a passport in between them, thread chains through the holes and padlock to metal frame bed of similar. im guessing it wouldn't be worth the hassle or risk to be worth taking. but need to know where to get thick plates someone could drill some holes in. cheers.

finy Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 I was joking. I don't think opportunistic thieves walk around CCTV/Keycard entry buildings with industrial bolt cutters. really just wanted to know if there is such a place I can get it done. ive seen lots of shops with metal and spark things going on. would they do It?

canthai55 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Called punch plate - denotes steel plate with a series of holes punched thru it. Various thickness of steel and diameter of holes available. Any steel wholesale company will have it. But from them only in full sheets I bet.

MadMac Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) There is a water-jet cut shop in some soi off Charoen Muang, near Nawarat bridge, on the east side. They made me an end piece for the bike exhaust. Round plate with several holes inside. CNC cut, the metal is too hard to drill it. Not exactly sure where it was, too long ago, but you should find it in Google. Edited January 30, 2017 by MadMac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyecatcher Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 If you are handy with a hammer and bolster or even a plasterboard pad saw its a great idea to not to draw attention to it. no need to spend a lot on a safe or your chain mail idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkn Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 How about a metal box with key for your passport and other valuables? The handle should allow you to lock it to a pipe or similar. I think I have seen something like below in both HomePro and B2S. Of course you could also buy a safe and bolt it to the wall, but maybe not if you are only renting (short term).

I think your “metal frame bed” is also vulnerable to such attack (dismantling), or your contraption might be pried open using a lever (most thieves should have a crowbar among their tools). I think the best approach is to find a really good hiding place, the second best would be a wall mounted safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finy Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 The trouble with a box is people don't know what's in it. If they seen a passport they would probably just leave it if they got easy pickings like a laptop, etc. all replaceable within an hour. but yeah, I have a safe backup plan. Just need to spend time finding one first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill97 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Best approach, stop worrying about the passport, there are many much more likely events to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
