If you have any guns worth saving, they have to be protected in 2 ways...Security and Fire. A safe that is made to sell isn't going to protect much if at all. Theft can be deterred dramatically by the construction of the cabinet as well as the door. But a cheap, thin safe is only secure against a casual intruder that doesn't want anything but what he can pick up.

Fire is another thing. You need a good fire-rating or you just cook your guns a bit slower than without a safe. No safe is fire-proof, if a safe sits in a fire that is hot enough for a long period of time, it will burn. It is still best to get the best fire-rating possible and then put the safe where it is least likely to get the worst heat in case of a fire.

I need a big one and it is overflowing now. I will have to get another safe as there is just no more room...

I have an inexpensive safe from Academy, a "Sentry". It holds 12 guns as well as small items (expensive jewelry, banking information, ect) on the top shelf. It is bolted to both the floor and wall with half inch diameter lag bolts. It is fire retardant, but not fire proof in the event of fire. Works well for the few firearms I have. I also have a gun cabinet with three "clunkers" in it for the thief to take. Clunker serial numbers as well as photos are in gun safe. Cheyenne
