Graffunder Castle 6040 and Bishop 6032

Parker's Safes displays two Graffunder safes, the Castle and the Bishop

Beautiful, REAL safes. Look how tight those doors fit. You can barely see the seam.

[@PocketChangeInspector]

Graffunder safes are awesome. What my sister and brother-in-law have and allow me to use a shelf in it.

[@Kenny1594]

Those are works of art!

[@ARMANDITOLEXUS]

That’s a SAFE, Amazing built.. ❤️

[@ShowemRight]

Now thats a respectable safe, and I'm impressed with that door thickness. Does it have the same plate steel on the body, and also, what is the thickness of the steel that the bolts protrude from ?

[@logwind]

Beautiful. Seems more like a vault than a safe!

Nope. No prybars for you Graffunder. I really like these. There is a point in plate thickness/hardness where an angle grinder is just a pain (I own a metal fabrication business). You are buying a lot of time with the Graffunder. With the additional layers of security system, dog, nosy neighbors and "nobody knows it is here" and finally, good insurance I'd be very confident storing a bit of wealth and firepower.

[@parkerssafes]

Thanks for your input. Where do you think the line is regarding effectiveness of an angle grinder vs. steel thickness?

[@imkindofabigdeal4308]

@@parkerssafes At about 1/4" + thickness an angle grinder is a pain. Slow, kickback and eats standard cutoff wheels. And more risk of the wheel detonating into your face. The most common angle grinders use 4.5" cutoff wheels which gives you about 1" of actual cutting capacity (the grinder takes up some space and the wheels are consumed pretty fast on thick plate). The next size up grinder (not as common) is 6". More capacity but I imagine a bad guy with the 20 wheel value pack would have to clear his calendar for the day to get into a Graffunder with one.

[@bobbygetsbanned6049]

@@parkerssafes The real threat to thinner plate steal doors and safe bodies are metal cutting circular saws, they can cut up to 1/4" plate steel ridiculously fast.

Most of the low budget gun safes can be side punched fairly easily.

[@vinsonhelton7141]

I'm curious how these safes react to certain fires with the door being so tight with expansion, something would have to give you would think. I would rather have AR type steel or SR type steel in the body especially. After watching what a circular saw with a Diablo type blade can do to carbon steel is amazing.

[@jeffstrains4014]

Being a machinist, welder, etc I would like to see there production process. Holding those tolerances I am starting to think the door and body it closes into are CNC produced they are making a lot of chips making safes ha. Good video Aaron always enjoy watching..

Unless they’ve changed something, they fit them all by hand.

[@lizzapaolia959]

Do they ever sell showroom models or scratched safes at a discount? Fantastic craftsmanship, definitely worth the money. Like most people my husband and I are looking to safe a few dollars. Thank you for sharing this information 😁

[@parkerssafes]

Not really. They’re built one at a time. There’s no showroom. American Security would be a less expensive option for a good quality safe.

[@lizzapaolia959]

Thanks for your feply. I'll tell my husband. It maybe awhile before we purchase one. We went to pay it off fully. We don't like carrying debt for items we don't urgently need. We will definitely contact you when we're ready purchase one. They're definitely worth the money..... Thanks, God bless.

[@gregoryvanderzanden821]

How about the weight of each of those babies? I'm more concerned about how to support my house than the cost!

[@william38022]

👍wow 👍 just out of curiosity how much do they cost I hate to waste your time I’m sure I can afford one however they’re beautiful

[@teller1290]

How does weight of the 6032 effect the average home foundation? I have a slabbed home built in '68 and didn't know what might happen having a compact, 2000 lbs object roll across it and then permanently bolting it down in corner of house. I hear slab thicker in corners.

[@parkerssafes]

Well. the canned answer is check with an engineer. We normally don't put safes heavier than 1400 pounds on a framed floor without reinforcement.

[@teller1290]

[@WC3fanatic997]

I'm curious about corrosion threats in safes, especially gun safes. Obviously higher-end safes are often made much more properly, but what can you really do for safes that aren't crazy good, top-of-the-line quality? What kind of ways could you determine the construction of the Safe wont release chemicals that would eat away at firearms or other metals stored within for long periods of time? What safes are known for using proper, safe materials that dont cost a literal fortune?

[@parkerssafes]

Generally, I'd say be careful with the imported stuff. A number of years ago, there was a bunch of sheetrock that came from China that had way too much moisture in it. It caused a lot of problems with gun safes that used it along with major issues in the building industry. I haven't had any problems with corrosion in any brands that we currently sell. Additionally, I haven't heard of any recent corrosion problems with any safes. Keeping a nice coat of oil on your firearms covers a multitude of sins.

[@SanitysVoid]

I want a safe with three inch steel all the way around. Then lined with dry way and fire blanket material on that.

[@bobbygetsbanned6049]

That's basically a bank vault.

[@jasonlommen4769]

There are no personal safes made like that. You’d never be able to move it! Just a standard Graffunder like the one in the video starts at around 1500lbs.

[@JWbabyshark]

How long does the bolts extend out behind the frame?

[@parkerssafes]

They extend about an inch and a half behind a three-quarter inch solid steel plate. There’s absolutely no bending or flexing of the steel on the door or the frame. Even if the bolts only extended a quarter inch it would be enough.

[@danieljaramillo3922]

@Tonydlp650 Your typical house fire is 1100’ F Graffunder safes are rated at 1750’ F for an hour. These safes are top of the food chain. Unless your home has a shit load of chemicals or some insane accelerator, it’s above and beyond protected from fire. Maybe you should go buy a Chinese Costco safe though just to be sure 😉
