Fire and Gun Safe Buying Tip No. 6. Tampering (it's important even for discounted safes)

Will your gun, fire, or jewelry safe resist a burglar’s tools? Does your safe have tamper safeguards installed (many don’t)?

Some armor (steel and /or ball bearings) in front of areas that might be drilled, that’s one tamper resistant safety precaution some safe manufactures install in their safes. Relockers? Those re-lock, when tampered with, making most safes VERY hard to get into. The size of bolts and relockers, the kind of steel used, and all sorts of other issues regulate whether a safe is opened by someone without a combination (or key code) -or not.
