Re: Why do you buy cheep safes?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ronas</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Most of the so called safes are RSC(residental security containers). They have no UL fire rating and no TL ratings.
The AMSEC safe mentioned earlier has if I'm not mistake only 11gauge steel for body. It is what it is, and you can call it whatever you like. </div></div>
.120" thick. Less than one eighth of an inch!!

The only way to get a real safe is to get it from somewhere that deals in safes designed to prevent thefts. The safes sold to lock up guns are all marketing. You pay more for the paint than the actual safe. </div></div>
And you actually believe this?
Is this alot of paint and less safe?

It doesn't say how thick it is, you tell me?
If it's not at least 1/4" thick steel, it's a joke as far as I'm concerned.
Spending thousands of dollars for paint and fancy fire protection crap doesn't do you a damn bit of good when the most important thing a safe can do is make it difficult for a thief. </div></div>
I took it the other way around. I am truly sorry for the mix up. You and I are on the same page. I do apologize. </div></div>
Yeah it's cool. Fortunately I have a nice room in the basement. All it needs a a vault door.
