• Buying Tips For Finding a Quality Gun Safe
  Cabinet
•  
• When you buy a long gun safe, you want to be sure
  you're not getting taken for a ride. Here are
  some qualities of high-quality safes that you
  should watch out for.
•  
• First off, you should expect to shell out about
  1200 on up for a decent safe. Contrary to
  popular belief, the major makers know the best
  placement for hinges is on the outside (unless
  you're buying a Grade 1 European safe - they
  place the hinges on the inside, and have solid
  construction, no complaints here). The reason
  American safe makers place the hinges on the
  outside is so that the thieves waste precious
  time attacking that area, as opposed to the lock
  itself. They'll get nowhere on a quality long gun
  safe.Do you want to learn more click Shop Now

• The interior should be, at the very least,
  58-inches high. The reason for this is you'll
  have clearance then for your 30-inch-long
  barrels, and will allow for shelving near the top
  for your smaller items. Other great features to
  watch for, though they may be installed
  after-market, are a rotational rack, and a stack
  of drawers for your smaller guns and other items.
  After all, if you're going to shell out this much
  money, you may as well be organized to boot.
• As to locking mechanism, the dials made by
  Sargent Greenleaf, whose parent company is
  Stanley Security Solutions, are top-shelf
  according to many in the industry. They aren't
  the only name in the industry, but if they were,
  your guns would be in good hands! If you want to
  go with a digital combination, make sure it's a
  UL Listed Type II or better, or Type I
  (commercial grade electrical) lock. Anything less
  is risky business.View Visit Online Store

• Do your homework as to fire-proofing material,
  and there are plenty of opinions on this subject.
  Many manufacturers are using the UL listing for
  fireboard (a.k.a. a thin layer of drywall) to
  list their safes as a fireproof gun safe.
• This isn't exactly top of the line quality, so
  really inquire from your manufacturer of choice
  how they construct their fireproof gun safe
  doors, walls and floor. A thin layer of drywall
  sandwiched between two thin sheets of sheet metal
  isn't a quality safe!
• The weight of your fireproof gun safe -
  especially the fireproof gun safe! - should be at
  least 750lbs. The steel should be at the very
  least 8 gauge
• steel for burglary protection, the better models
  use fire cladding and solid steel plating. By the
  way, when buying a gun safe cabinet, the lower
  the gauge of steel, the thicker the material.

• Your better bet is to buy a European Grade 1, or
  UL Listed TL-15 or TL-30. There are other, higher
  ratings for safes that pass tests that UL
  conducts that include explosion endurance, impact
  resistance, 6-sided attacks, and torch attacks,
  but usually such ratings incur exorbitant fees
  and aren't typical for residential use. For that
  reason they won't be covered in our gun safe
  reviews, but know that if your gun safe cabinet
  has these ratings, you've bought a quality safe.
  One of the best fireproofing materials for
  fireproof gun safe construction is Palusol. This
  material expands with heat and keeps out fire,
  smoke and usually water as well.

• Security on your gun safe cabinet should be at
  least a UL-listed "RSC" (residential security
  container) rating - this is bottom shelf security
  and is not tested to withstand break-ins nor fire
  damage. This is the minimum rating, and should be
  able to buy you FIVE minutes under a theft
  attempt. Given minimal tools, in other words, a
  thief off the street will be able to crack open
  an RSC-rated safe.More info Top Tier Safes

• Be sure the exterior is rust-resistant as well -
  this safe should give you more than a lifetime of
  endurance. Also, gun racks, drawers, felt lined
  shelves, an interior lighting system, a
  bolt-pattern to secure it in place, and a
  dehumidifying system should all be included or at
  least installed at some point.
