I've been researching for a while now, below are the features and price range I'm looking for, any recommendations off of that would be appreciated.
I won't be storing anything irreplaceable, mostly guns, jewelry and data. Data will be backed up elsewhere and my home owners will cover the loss of any items. I mainly want to avoid the average theif stealing and selling my guns to other low lifes.
$1,000-1,200
Approximately 60H x 36W x 25+D
12ga or thicker
30+ min fire protection
S&G (or equivalent) mechanical lock
Outside hinges/removable door would be a plus
Good warranty and reputation
Idealy, I'd love a study as they seem to be a lot of "safe" for the money, but that is unfortunately out of my price range. Looks like I'll be somewhere in the Cannon/Liberty range, but can't quite figure out where to go from here . Any specific model or brand recommendations would be appreciated. Good deals or sales would be a bonus.
Also, side note. From what I understand, a fire ax is going to fairly easily chew through the side of an 10-12ga steel safe, is that correct? I should probably look into bolting it down in a closet or other enclosed area to avoid this?
