Safes- The Nasty SECRETs they do not TELL YOU!

[@rpeltz]

As a firefighter, I have 2 pointers for you to improve the potential outcome for your safe in the case of a fire. 1. Do not store ammunition or powder in your safe, it can and will cook off or burn. 2. As you mentioned the primary fire protection for your safe is the from the sheetrock inside the safe. You can improve the fire resistance of your safe by adding more layers of sheetrock outside of the safe as well. We were responding to a car fire inside of a basement garage with only a single layer of 5/8" sheetrock between the fire, and the studs / floor joists. The car was burning for at least 5-7min before our arrival. We were able to quickly extinguish the fire that had been rolling from the engine compartment up to the ceiling of the garage. The flames did not breach or even damage the sheetrock ceiling aside from damage to the exposed surface layer. To add more fire resistance add several layers of sheetrock to all sides that are not directly against a brick or concrete wall and you can add multiple layers of sheetrock to the inside of a closet door that could install in front of your safe.

Myself and most of my friends keep our guns in a fire rated safe and the ammo in a secure ammo locker, i.e. a cheaper gun safe that is not fire rated. If you do end up needing to keep it in the same safe, I would put it on the top shelf and put several layers of drywall between the ammo and the firearms.

After searching on craigslist for a bit I found a guy that did demo work that had recently demolished an old bank and was selling off the door. I got the door from him for $700. This door is a Mosler made in the 30s and its amazing. The gap in the door is so tight I can hardly wedge a placard into it. I then made a reinforced room in my basement for my new door. Now I have a whole vault in my home that only cost me around about $1300 in materials and a few nights and weekends worth of work. Now not only do I have a place to store valuables, we also now have a panic room and a storm shelter.

Food For Thought: Amongst others, I have a Liberty Centurion 12-Gun SAFE. Although the "container" itself weighs less than 500lbs, Liberty Safe allows even these "smaller" safes to be anchored down. While the unit itself may not weigh a lot, the anchoring to a garage/cement floor creates thousands of pounds of tensile strength. They won't waste time breaking into it, but they'll also be wasting their time trying to remove it from my pad 👍

I bought a small safe off Craigs list, the guy told me that a safe is to keep your friends out. A determined person who knows their way around tools can defeat most, if not all, gun safes. So a good safe is one that deters most people from unwanted access to your stuff. There are other means of fireproofing than a big metal safe but sometimes you need both. I think you can still buy fire proof pouches or install your safe in a way to give it more fire resistance. A big metal box will be like an oven, once hot; so coatings or fireproof blankets( think oven mitt) can improve resistance to heat.

I have a true story that proves your "buying time" point. This happened to me when I had just moved out of my parents' house and I was on the second level of a three-story house with two apartments at each level. There was still an old oil tank shed in the back yard where the old oil tanks used to be and this shed was about as tall as the house and it has an interior staircase that led to the back alley with a door at every floor and there was a sort of walkway that bridged the back balcony to the shed. This shed had stood for at least 80 years and it was the original wood, which means it was about as strong as wet cardboard. When I moved in I looked at this and thought, anyone can just break in to the shed from the alley and make their way up the stairs sight unseen and the only thing that stops them from going through those old wood doors is a flimsy little catch hook! I thought this was an invitation for robbers, so I made things a little harder for them; I nailed down a piece of 2x4 on the floor inside so I could place a long 2x4 against the bottom of the handle and have it blocked by that piece nailed to the floor. They would have to break through the door itself before they were able to break that down, and it was quick and easy to take down when I needed to bring the garbage down to the alley. Next was the outside door on my floor, which I just tired with very strong nylon rope to the metal railing of the walkway. So I had put two levels of impediment for anyone trying to break though on my level from inside and guess what happened one day? That's right, the top and bottom tenants got robed but not me. It took me a whole 20 minutes of work to do all of this, and that included figuring out how to do it! In the end, I'd just made it too complicated for robbers to bother with mine, so they went to the next one. So ya, you are buying time and much like staying warm in winter is all about layers, safety is all about layers.

Next down is Burglary Resistant B Class & A Class less than 1" Steel Door & less than 1/2 Steel Walls. AMSEC is once such company that makes Safes. Multiple smaller units & locations is GREAT idea & information... like in the military it's a rifle not a gun... Lol

You can not go wrong with a Fort Knox

[@MJ-zo5gb]

According to the FBI the average break in time is 10 minutes many are as short as 90 seconds. The reality is the VAST majority Burglars are more interested in getting in and out fast (especially with modern home security systems/cams) and don’t have the skills/tools to break a safe. (If its a small one not bolted down they would probably take it with them). Sophisticated burglars certainly do exist but statistically you are unlikely to encounter one. I also find it highly unlikely that tried to break into a safe using power tools with a visible security cameras and alarm sounding Knowing the police will likely arrive before they get in there. Of Course every situation is different and I’m speaking generally here.

If you have a Liberty safe dealer or a locksmith that carries safes near you, they can put a combination lock on it for you. As for being able to cut in a few places and being able to jimmy the door open.... easier said than done ! A well hidden safe is always your best preventative measure to take.

When we sold our last home, the buyer wanted to buy my AmSec safe. So, when we built our new home here in TX, I did weeks of research again on safes.

As you said, they only buy you time. But make sure you bolt your safe to the floor. Congrats on your great new safe!

AMSEC is the choice of those who want high level protection.

[@helidude3502]

Some thoughts on safes: A cardboard box stashed someplace when nobody knows that you have guns is more secure than a decent safe and security system when people know you are on a trip . Felons tend to git dirty jobs building things, moving things, and taking things apart. These guys already have skills and tools to open or move your safe. They also don’t care if they ruin your pretty hardwood floors. Your nosey neighbors may be up your butt about every blade of grass in your yard but probably will be watching tv when your house is violated. Police or fire might be located near, but might already be busy with something else, or just not motivated to deal with it. You might watch things on your phone, and watch them leave before help arrives, if help comes at all. Bolting the safe down is good, but the downside is it means there is a fixture to pry against. Insurance or warranties are great if you never need them. If they actually support you when needed is a whole different matter. As far as how much to spend vs value.... With firearms , monetary value is secondary. A cheap hi-point is just as deadly in the wrong hands as your rarest collector’s item firearm.

I saw a video with a "ruff tuff" looking guy in tactical dress with lots of tattoos pointing out the "Best Safe" and it weighed a whopping 105 lbs, which is 120 lbs less than the bottom half of my tool box which would have been more secure. You said it great, you are buying time, absolute gem of a statement. Install secondary protection like alarms and monitoring of your home.

Ideally, a 7ga safe with a minimum 1/4 inch door thickness that seals well and has a internal self locking glass mechanism that if the lock is violently tampered with the safe permanently locks. Also, the safe should be floor anchored to a solid structure, preferred concrete. The safe should be located in a reinforced storm room or a room that is somewhat hidden to visitors.

[@600miles]

If you don't bolt it down and you load up the door storage pockets with heavy stuff the safe will fall on you when you open the door especially on carpet. Order a safe with mechanical lock S&G or LaGard it will be $100 cheaper and last forever, you can also change the combo yourself if you get a change key.

[@keithweiss7899]

Here’s a little advice for the wise and the otherwise. Keep your eyes open for Wright Line Data Bank safes. I bought one. It’s about 7’ tall, 5’ wide and 4’ deep. The entire house could burn down around it and it will keep my guns and papers safe because it is fully insulated and UL rated to protect computer tapes from fire. It is very heavy, so nobody is going to walk off with it. In fact I have to hire a wrecker when I want to transport it to another home. Go ahead and try to cut into it. You will soon give up. Now the best part, the cost. I paid $15 dollars for it. That’s right, fifteen dollars. I know of companies who have paid people $300 to come and get them! The down side is that you must put them on a concrete floor. Mine was in a garage for years. I don’t know of a wood floor in a home that would hold one. Or if you have a walk out basement with a big door to get it inside then you are fine. Keep your eyes open for them. They are sitting in factories and such, no longer being used and companies are delighted to get rid of them. Great gun safes! Just remember that all shelves must be glued to the inside walls. Don’t drill holes from the inside.

You can order the safe with the dial lock instead of the "E" lock. The E locks are supposed to be faster and most of them have a built in light in case you have to open it in the dark. Yes, some people use a flashlight with a magnet on their safe in case they need a light to open the dial lock but it's still easier when you only have to push a few buttons and those buttons are lit up in the dark.

Writing for a 50-year friend here. I helped him build a secure structure these last few years. He has a pair of safes and a strong high value tool box. In a secure room. That's in a secure building. And thieves can go to work on those safes AFTER they get past the Diebold vault door, the multi-layered steel door, and the compound walls of pre-stressed concrete, spectra, fiberglass and steel. There are plenty of warning notes on the outside, because I REALLY don't want to hurt or kill anybody ... yes, I know ... some fools insist on dying, but it doesn't take much work to make it very hard for them. Inside the room are a "Train Horn" and a few big cans of Mace that are set to fall on their heads as a foretaste of what awaits intruders. The innermost doors have warning signs against cutting or burning to keep the firemen and police officers safe. Those doors are heavy, welded, with properly prescribed, labeled and engineered heavy blast vents to put even fools on notice. In case of fire, the fire department will be greeted with warning signage explaining hazardous materials and relieving them of any duty to proceed any further into the structure. "Go away and have some coffee!" You see, Security is a hobby for me, and he has humored me. He has given me a room in his shop for whatever I want to build and keep there. So as long as I was helping with the building, I just played to his Mrs. Winchester and kept compounding layers of security as we built. Now, what would thieves find if they actually got into the place? Ultimately ... (when we move out) a small table and a horseshoe. It's all been planned as a tremendous joke. Like Al Capone's vault.
