Re: Safes
Well, I just had my new safe delivered and installed last night. I had been looking and researching for several months. Balancing my needs, size to fit where I wanted it, resistance to burglery and fire plus cost, I went with an American Security BF 6032. These are fire rated at 1275 degrees for 90 minutes. 1/2" solid front door steel plate plus metal framed and concrete filled, dual metal sides, top, back etc steel outside and inside filled with 2 inches fire rated concrete. Weighs 862 lbs, 11 bolts, 1.5" chromed steel bolts. It should deter the hit and grab robbers and hold up to protect from most fires. I wish it was a bit bigger but will hold what I need and it fit, just fit, through the closet door which is one of its designs is to go through the narrow closet doors. Outside basically 60x22x30. Got a floor display model at Carters and it saved me a few hundred from the ordered model. It gets good ratings. Could have gone with a higher rated HF series or other brands but for $1400.00 it fit the limits I had.
