No names, but the national company claims it is a "limited" warranty for 3 yrs. Weld on hinge plate actaully gave way, whole door topples out. Shoddy piece of **** craftmanship they don't cover but for 3 yrs? Is there any recourse. No receipt, but bought at Wal-Mart for $90 or so. Aren't safes supposed to be safe?

If the warranty for a safe is only 3 yrs you know your are not buying a quality safe. Live and learn, buy a new safe and buy on that has a lifetime warranty, because they will actually protect your stuff.

You really answered your own question. You have had it 5 years (but no receipt to prove it) and the limited warranty was for 3 years.
They will only cover it for 3 years.
When it comes to a safe, $90.00 really is not a lot. Quality professional safes (those sold at locksmiths or safe companies) will run you a bit more than that.
Next time try to find a safe that has a longer warranty.

If their warranty is three years, and it broke after five, you don't have any recourse with the company. Go buy another safe.
You do realize that $90 divided by the five years you used it is about $18 a year, ir $1.50 a month, or 5 cents a day?

No, of course not! The limited warranty was only good for three years.
You pay $90 for a safe, you get a $90 safe. GOOD safes start at $300, for the really small ones.

yes unless somebody tried to break in it should last a very long time. Contact Wall-Mart customer service with your concerns, next call the company and ask what kind of product ex specially a safe only lasts for 3 yrs under normal use. You can also contact the Better Business Bureau and see what they can do, good luck. Remember something like a safe should be of top quality and by a top safe company. You get what you pay for

You got what you paid for. A $90 safe with a three year warranty. Five years have passed. Do you expect the Good Safe Fairy to come to your rescue here ?
Three years warranty is THREE years.

What part of THREE YEAR WARRANTY didn't you understand? Nothing lasts forever, and it can't be much of a safe for $90. A good safe is at least a couple of hundred.
