Re: Question about Winchester safe at Academy

Multiple safes are great as long as a they are at least minimal quality. You need to evaluate how much money you have invested in what will be in the safe and decide what is worth spending to protect it.

I just pulled the trigger on a safe over $2K. It has a double sealed door so you can't get a pry bar between the door and wall. It also has better steel thickness, more locking bolts, and better fire rating than my old safe. More locking lugs on the top, bottom, and both sides of the door will help make it harder to break into also. I think the video of the guys using the big pry bar was on a pretty inexpensive safe. That said, no safe is full proof.

The only safe I saw recently that appeared full proof was a $10,000 safe that had 1" minimum steel thickness on all sides and really tight/close clearances around the door. It was nice.

Re: Question about Winchester safe at Academy

You might also try a Gun Safe dealer like Lonestar Gun Safe. They have a lot more options including quite a few safes that are better. Not sure how competitive they would be on price though. They have a bunch in their store. I am not sure what other options there are like that. I bought one recently, but I wasn't looking in that price range.
