Missed this when it was posted - sorry about that.

Yes it is pricey, with electronic lock and rails on the door to hold handguns, and installation, ran $2,875 total. But I also keep all my paperwork like birth and marriage certificates, papers showing my mortgage is paid, and all my previous 1040's. Plus other valuables. After my son and his wife's apartment was broken into while they were gone and everything taken (all his firearms, flat screen TV, etc) I just became more and more worried and finally decided to make the move. Glad I did.

Now if I could just get my 50" TV and the computers in there...

I've got a couple of spots and I probably know the answer to this question but would putting it in a garage in the TX heat cause any problems??

I went with the Fort Knox Defender 6031 and had it placed in the master bedroom. I had room for it there and the owner brought it out and with my permission drilled througn the hardwood floors into the concrete and bolted it in place from the inside.

And here's a youtube video of a torture test.

I've been very pleased with it. Have had it for about a year now.
