My daughter has worn glasses since being 8 years old. She switched to contact lenses at 16. She is 21 now and told me yesterday that she is considering using her savings from her part-time job to get laser eye surgery. Now I wear glasses and can see that they are inconvenient at times.

The ball bearings make drilling through the door or sides very difficult. The door and lock are inherently the weakest points of any safe. Loc...
