Buyer Beware, Shopping for a Gun or Fire Safe Can Be Confusing. Call Us First

As I keep an eye on EVERYTHING safe related (I do it so you don’t have to), I come across more misinformation, nonsense, and sales garbage than I care to share.

Take for example this paragraph, which someone posted on a web-page obviously designed to bring the viewer (you) to a page where you can click thru to some paid links for safe sellers.

There are a number of factors that determine the price of a gun safe, and these include the brand, size, material, and locking system of the safe. Those who wish to purchase gun safes that are made by reputable manufacturers such as Gun Vault, V-Line, Sentry, Browning, Winchester, Stack-On, and Protex, have to be prepared to pay high prices for their safes. Nonetheless, gun safes that are built by these manufacturers offer maximum security, and they can last a lifetime. As such, they are actually worth the extra investment. Typically, rifle and shotgun safes are more expensive than handgun safes, because they are larger in size. High quality safes that are made of fireproof materials are also costlier. Additionally, gun owners who wish to purchase gun safes with advanced locking systems, such as digital, quick access, and biometric, have to spend more money. The prices of gun safes can range from less than a hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.

I take exception to this information, as gun safes, that really keep your guns safe, aren’t going to cost less than $100, and the list of reputable manufacturers the piece mentions doesn’t come close to informing a buyer of anything worth knowing.

The best way to “buy a cheap safe,” which seems to be the common tag line on so many searches, is to KNOW SOMEONE IN THE SAFE BUSINESS. And now, you “know someone!” Call The Safe Place at 775-358-7233.

Buy a safe based on the value of what you intend to protect, based on where the safe is stored and what other security measures are present, and but it from someone you can trust to give you sound, sensible, accurate advice. That’s what we do.
