I have always wanted a well lit, movie style armory safe like in the movies. I also had a few guns that overflowed my other safes. I wanted something industrial looking. I started with a used jewel vault. Ugly but effective. One inch hardened steel. 5000lbs. The original lock required two manager keys to unlock but there was a one hour delay to unlock after the keys were used. I had it retooled for a push button lock. This I did not cheap out on as this safe would be very hard to get into if the lock failed. I drilled a hole for wiring and destroyed several carbide bits. I got one of the better models and had it professionally installed.
Setting it in place was very hard.

The safe was painted with a exterior paint called ironically, Armory Gray
