How much insulation should your gun safe have? Your fire safe? Should you buy 30 minute, 60 minute, or 90 minute fire protection. Do you need even more than that?
What are the pitfalls of buying a safe? What should you be careful of --even warned about? Can you buy a safe that can be pried open with crowbars? Can electronic push-button safe dials be opened with some trick of electronics? Should you go with an old fashioned dial?
What’s with all the different safe ratings? Is humidity a problem in safes? What if you forget the combination?
There are lots of things to think about when purchasing a safe you honestly intend to use for protection of things you DO NOT want to lose. I’m visited most of the websites for safes on the Internet --and let me tell you, there’s some real misinformation out there. Bad pricing, safe sellers who don’t seem to understand their products, and insinuations that some safes are, well --safer than they really are. A lot of the hype revolves around inexpensive safes, “real bargains,” as that’s where sellers try and make something marginal sound like something more substantial. The expensive safes, with real hard-plate, lots of steel, great bolt systems, and so on --those safes don’t need hype. They’re often advertised just with the facts.
To weed through it all, one of the solutions is to do what can make car repair easier: know a good mechanic you trust. In the case of buying a safe, it’s good to have someone who REALLY knows the business, an expert, to help you make the right decisions without wasting time and money.
