Safe Expert Shows How to SAFELY Store Your Silver and Gold!

[@YankeeStacking]

🚨 PLEASE READ! 🚨 Due to the recent news about Liberty safes and the company’s decision to provide known “backdoor codes” to the FBI, I will be doing a follow up with Bill and reevaluating my selections made in the video. STAY TUNED‼️

I really appreciate this Yankee. I've been looking all day for solutions that don't involve over 1k. Hope a class action lawsuit comes out soon!

[@shaunmurray2322]

Thanks for doing the follow up. Looking forward to it.

[@garrett6371]

It sounds like the company is adopting a far better policy regarding the protection & privacy of your safe's combination. I believe it is too little, too late. I hope the parent company, (Monomoy Capital Partners), sells Liberty off to a competitor who has values more congruent with stackers and gun owners. I'm happy to see that you are revisiting this topic, Yankee.

[@strattuner]

here's what they don't tell you, the irs can open your safe with a phone call,esp if its an electronic piece of dung,watched them break into my brothers safe,took his weapons and 81k in silver and gold,don't be a fool,hide your most valuable items inside a tree is better

[@PaulZ-mann]

My recommendation. First find a place to put the safe, they are big, bulky, and are usually bolted to the floor. I would only buy a spin dial lock, you don’t have to worry about batteries, and EMP will not effect it. I didn’t know what @strattuner posted, just another reason for a dial. I would recommend make sure to look at the thickness of the Metal on the door, the sides, back, and top. The thicker the metal the harder to cut. I would also recommend the concete filled, it extends the time in a fire. Mine is good for something like a hour. Also I got the salesman to throw in an electronic dehumidifier.

[@overwatch2671]

I've owned a safe for 30+ years. Last year I bought a liberty. Middle of the road that they offered. I ordered it online. Took 6 months to receive it. I'm extremely pleased. I keep a small amount of valuables in it. My stack is stored in wooden boxes in a separate storage facility. Never keep all your eggs in one metal box.

[@europa3962]

Safes are a must but you need to remember . The weakest part of any safe is the owner. One thing no safe will guard against is someone breaking in and putting a gun to your loved ones head to get you to open it. No safe in the world will protect you from that. You must consider having a firearm to defend your home.

[@keithknechg3217]

Agreed.and keep it handy.more than one in different places is my strategy.

[@Fanta....]

Just to add to that, the hypothetical guy bragging about how much stuff he has in his safe in this video might as well have no safe, because if the price is high enough, they will have no issues putting a gun to your head to open your tl-30 safe. People need to shut their yappers about safes. if people don't know it exists, they're not going to come looking for it.

[@tylershoemaker4886]

I recommend having a camera on your safe at all times with motion detection turned on. If you’re away you are alerted immediately and can phone the police. Most cameras even have a speaker so you can inform the robbers that police are on the way.

This was one of the best videos you have done. There are other safes out there that have great ratings. I particularly liked hearing about the safes jewelers use. WOW. Maybe more on pricing, but that might discourage your viewers from looking more deeply into it. A quick bit of advice for people looking to purchase a safe. I have a friend who collected guns for years. His safe was to the exterior wall of the house. The thieves came in ready. They ripped the safe right out of the house using a truck. We figure is was an inside type of a job. They came prepared to specifically target that safe. Loose lips sink ships

Hi Yankee! Awesome video, I truly believe people need to keep their precious metals safe! 😎 Safe from theft, and natural disasters like fires, and floods! The only thing I don't like is there's no insurance, as I get with my professional vaulting service (depository)! Always great to hear "Made in America"!

I have bought a vintage safe off local site when I went to Pick it up it was àlot bigger than I thought and found out it was over 1,000 lbs looks like one of the t-30 safes so now it just sits outside in the garage not being used afraid of it going through the floor would love to trade for a smaller one around 5 or 600 lbs max great video

[@LatimusChadimus]

One really good piece of advice when it comes to securing things in your house, obviously go with layers, you want this thing to be behind at least three layers, but you also don't want it on the first floor, especially if it's a heavy safe you are going to want it to be on the second floor or in the basement, but it's also really good to have a dummy safe like I do. I have one that is in plain sight and it sounds like it has some coins in it which it does, but it is filled with a lot of my electric bill statements with $30 in rolled copper-plated zinc cents

I also have my stack split up into different areas on off-site so if people didn't have the time to dig out one of them they would only get a small portion of my stack. It is kind of sort of an obvious place but it is well hidden and again if they found it that one doesn't have that much in it

[@PaulZ-mann]

I was just going to post I have 2 safes, right now I’m just using one, my gun safe is big and noticeable, I plan on mounting a safe in the closet once I finish remodeling. I will split the valuables up a little here a little there, and hopefully they will spend all of their time trying to get into thee big gun safe. I have the gun safe in a small niche in the office, that makes it virtually impossible to cut into the sides, and difficult to use a pry bar, because the door opening is next to a wall. I wanted a bigger one but the niche pocket determined the safe size.

[@TexSilverFarmer]

3 recommendations from experts when considering a safe: 1. Always get a bigger safe than you think you will need, you will fill it up eventually, trust me on this. 2. Always buy a UL-rated safe, profesional locksmiths recommend spending at least 10% of the total value of what will be stored in the safe when buying a safe, so if you are going to put 200k of PMs in the safe you should spend 20k on the safe at a minimum. 3. If you want the contents insured you will need a UL-rated TL30 X 6 safe or better.

[@NJBeachbum12]

No need to spend 20k on a safe. Go to a safe dealer and ask for a used jewelers safe. You can get a 4-5,000 pound TRTL30 or 60 for 5-10k. Concrete filled, stainless steel liner, anti drill plates, very thick steel.

[@afdgxzghzgfhgfzhazghzdfhxf]

UL rated RSCs are total garbage; you should clairfy which UL standard you recommend. I would recommend at least TL30 for silver. You can get insurance for lower ratings than TL30x6. For instance a B-rating safe will usually suffice a $5000 insurance. X6 Would cover between a quarter and a half million, or even more with a burglary alarm.

[@TexSilverFarmer]

Agreed RSC is worthless for PMs, I would get a TL30X6 at a minimum.@@afdgxzghzgfhgfzhazghzdfhxf

[@shanecorley4475]

TL30x6 is a bare minimum that American security RSC that weighed 1700lbs is trash and every liberty safe is 10x worse then that American security

Yeah, if you're getting a big safe or any safe, but especially given the outlay already expended on a big safe filled with things you want to keep, you build it into it's own alcove, so it doesn't worry about fire and is preferably hidden.

[@toejam503]

Older homes had extra bracing in the floors where the refrigerator would go. Installing a 10 cubic ft Chest freezer involved almost always putting it in the basement, because of weight. A standing safe in most homes, including modern homes, will require extra bracing in the floor.

This video is great man, I’m glad you covered this topic. A good safe and tight lips are crucial. 👍

[@orwellianhater4014]

I would have a structural engineering determine if you could place a 1000 lb safe sitting on your main floor (if you have a basement) or second floor. Remember that the psi on which your safe is setting is much higher than you would expect. The smaller the contact area between the floor and safe, the larger the load. In other words, you may need added supports. My issue came up with fish tanks--not safes. I was looking into upgrading to a 75 gallon tank. Such a tank fully loaded (water, gravel, etc.) would approach 900 lbs. The contact area between the tank and floor was quite a bit greater than that of a heavy duty safe, meaning the load the floor was being subjected to would be significantly less than with a 900 lb safe. I was advised by a construction guy (not an engineer) with twenty years experience not to do so without adding additional support. He thought I would be OK without it, but any weak spots could lead to structural damage over time. He also mentioned good luck having your insurance company paying a claim for damage done due to your negligence.

[@gregsicinski8138]

Graffunder safes are the Cadillac of safes with a Cadillac price to match. Then you can buy a Sturdy brand safe and have it custom built. Believe it or not, Liberty, Browning, etc gun safes are pretty easy to break into with a cordless circular saw and a Diablo steel cutting blade. Literally a few minutes and the whole side of the safe can be cut open. Graffunder, Fort Knox and Sturdy brand safes can be purchased with the body made of plate steel and stainless steel cladding to greatly increase the time time required to torch open a safe. Very important to look at what gauge of steel the sfe walls are made of. Also, look at the door gap of a Graffunder or Sturdy brand safe. You can barely get a piece of paper in the door gap. The door gaps on the other safes is plenty big enough to hammer in a wedge and pry the door open within 10 minutes or so. Plenty of video documentation showing how easy they are to break into. Yes, you'll pay more for a quality safe but getting by with a cheaper quality safe only gives you the ILLUSION of protection. I know it seems like I'm hyping three safe brands but do your homework. There are some really videos at the Sturdy Safe KZbin site that show how incredibly easy it is to break into the Big Box brands of safes. Finally, my personal preference is a safe with 2 S&G mechanical safe dials. Like buying a car. There's a ton of options for how to have your safe built so choose wisely for your situation and you'll be very pleased with the end result. P.S. Don't forget about your perimeter security i.e. alarm systems, dogs, and layering the levels of protection just to get to your safe. Best wishes and happy stacking.

Yes not the best but have them built and bolted with very little room to work. Just one part of a multi layer security system to buy time. Biggest vulnerability would be a surprise home invasion leaving or entering a residence then being forced to open your safe. Have to train and have a plan.

[@biskit7]

My 2nd time watching.... I love this video!

[@YankeeStacking]

@@biskit7 I’m working on Part 2 with Bill!

[@greytalon2880]

Some really great choices in safes… definitely an eye opener!!

[@trackpackgt877]

love videos on safes Yankee!! Not enough to own gold and silver you have to protect it

[@solidtenpin]

Sturdy Safe based in California is a good budget option. They have a KZbin channel I believe where they show how easy it is to open a typical $600 Costco safe and then try the same processes on their safes. I think the only way you're getting in one is with a plasma torch. They don't do any frills on the safe, so they're able to cut costs. They are just basic powder coated, well built safes.

As Realtors, my wife and I always refer folks to Bill's team after purchasing a home. Amazing team over there at Dependable Lock Service! We always tell folks the first 2 things to change after moving into a new home are; The Locks and the toilet seats ;-).

[@gandr.e.5136]

I'm a realtor here in Texas and I'm always amazed at how dumb realtors and homeowners are to have pictures of their listings and in the closet, there it is, a picture of their safe. And that's a yes on the locks and toilet seats.

[@downunda107]

Good on You Bill. You must be a hard worker ! Tx Yankee

[@YankeeStacking]

Great recommendation! 👌🏼

[@THECRANKYONE]

365, my friend, i I apologize for not getting to watch this in its entirety until today! Brilliant as always. You didn’t miss a step getting back in the groove! Well done young man, those adorable babies wont be babies for long! I'm glad you're back! 5outa5 😠😠😠😠😠👍

[@THECRANKYONE]

Yankee you won't believe it, but I had only watched part of yours and his today. I wondered where the heck that went! I had to rewrite it. I CAN NOT explain how that happened! Lol. I would never have known where it went had you not responded! Thank you.

[@THECRANKYONE]

Yankee...for you, 5outa5 😠😠😠😠😠👍

[@leslieandrews6324]

I have a safe, but I keep my gold, silver & cash were I can basically just pick it up. So when the bad guys come to steel they focus on the safe.

[@jefferywilson4091]

Love this video, I need a up grade on a safe. Fire rating means a lot to me.

[@afdgxzghzgfhgfzhazghzdfhxf]

I would recommend not getting a safe with drywall/gypsym/fireboard fireproofing. I would recommend poured concrete or 2300° ceramic wool.

[@M_R23]

Great video Yankee...

[@bmw9mm]

I have 2 liberty safes which are great. But if you want really good protection you need a vault. Small or big they are secure and very heavy. Pricey though

[@ferebeefamily]

Thank you gentlemen for the video.

[@24kGanksta]

MOSLER SCREW LOCK . The whole door is the locker. I purchased one it’s literally 1800lbs and it can barely fit a 100oz silver bar. It also has a secondary door with two keys. My dream safe is a Mosler Cannon Ball

[@Whateva67]

Those are cool safes,love the cannonball ones too. I have an antique J and J Taylor (Canadian) safe that weighs 2000 pounds,it’s the size of a dishwasher. Cool conversation piece,still have the paperwork from when it was sold used to the Alberta liquor control board in the early 50s😊

[@sdb816]

Bill is great. What a great video.

[@medgasguy]

Excellent video, so much info that I learned. Thanks for sharing.

[@keithcox7827]

Love Bill! Great guy!!!

[@SilasMarnerAuAg]

Yankee chillin wearing those red shorts 😎. be careful with the glare my friend. You probably have a great safe(s) already, but Ms Yankee will still get angry. 😡. but seriously, great video. ive been thinking about upgrading and liberty was one of my choices and i think this sealed the deal in choosing them for my upgrade.

[@YankeeStacking]

Cool! Tell Bill I say hi!

[@curtcoffee]

Wow, very informative, thanks for posting! I worked in field sales and one of my customers showed me his collection of what looked like hundreds of safes stored in a back warehouse, all ages, mfgs, types and sizes. It was an OMG moment. His hobby was safe cracking mechanical combination locks, a “manipulator”. He never said, however I suspect he kept his valuables in one or two of the safes. OK bad guys, guess which one??? Ha ha!!!

[@mkoz1134]

I somestimes wonder if it's better to buy a cheap safe and leave it empty as a diversion so the thieves see it and steal it first. Meanwhile you have your gold and silver stashed in a simple shoe box hiding up in your ceiling somewhere.

[@skate_health7319]

I’m wondering the same myself here.

[@afdgxzghzgfhgfzhazghzdfhxf]

Hiding is better than using a cheap guage safe. If the steel is less than the 4ga 3/16" range, then don't even bother. A saw will eat up anything less in fewer than five minutes. For instance Liberty Safe's best safe is only 7ga steel and they get sawed though like butter.

[@markleider1837]

Best idea so far guys

[@billcook4768]

I wouldn’t leave it empty. I’d put a bunch of novelty coins or something in there.

[@stevendominy1737]

Liberty safe co will give the master combination to certain people

[@chakkasreenivasulu2244]

QQ: Very comprehensive coverage of Safes. Thank you! Is there a smaller AMSEC BFII or BFX model around 7 Cu ft?

[@MAWA2024]

What a great video! Really glad you covered this topic, beyond interesting. To quote Spock, "fascinating!"

[@zsoltszopko9817]

Amazing video yet again Yankee! Thank you from London!

[@Whateva67]

I have an old J and J Taylor safe that’s about the same size as a dishwasher,it has an internal safe inside of it and it weighs right around 2000 pounds.

[@stephenmenhennett6134]

When I was a young person I helped frame a new house. the owner had his safe delivered we had to take down part of a wall to put the safe into a room and then rebuild the wall the safe was bigger than the door.

[@NWfishin]

Very informative thanks!
