Safe is on the way.

Unfortunately where I live doesnt give me a lot of options. Bolting it to the floor will help. Its my first house, not my dream house. Its a pretty busy neighborhood, I even share the wall with a neighbor. I just need to get it here first, then worry about where it goes.

Thanks for the .02 guys.


I think I am going to have a safe opening party when she gets here. haha

Basement +1

If it takes you and three buddies 4 hours to get it into the house.
How hard is it to get OUT of the house?


If you need a place to store it

A safe in the garage is better than no safe at all

Next house will have a basement for sure, I am thinking along the lines of a vault door...

You know laser trip wires, mission impossible stuff....haha

try to bolt it down and make it the least visible thing in your garage and keep the door closed as much as possible.

Mine went in my basement, farthest from the stairs, not really viewable from windows because I have them covered...and this sucker is beyond heavy, it would take a long time and several guys to get it upstairs and outside.

I only wish it were on the main level for the security of having it up higher in case the basement were to flood or something.

I know people that have specifically requested "Half-Basements" for just this reason.
Then they will build a Closet on a Slab Portion Upstairs and Place the safe Inside it or Build the closet in around it
.
Nothing Says "Sucks to be a Thief" like a safe Bolted to the floor and the Back wall of a closet that its built around it. Might as well just steal the whole house at that point.

Friend of mine used to keep a gallon of black powder in his gun safe. He put a warning label explaining the consequences of torching the safe on the outside! Cut the safe...

Kaboom!

I'll second what sniper said, if it's got to go in the garage, try to make it invisible/hidden- at least from the street... obscure it with other items that look boring, cheap, and not worth stealing- basket weaving materials, etc '

like a ghillie suite for your safe..
