If you have the time.

Adding a huge amount of weight at the bottom will also make it that much more fun for the bad guys to try to take the safe away without opening it. Barbell weights work good.

A bad guy with a gun in your three-year old’s ear can get it open for free.

I filled mine with lead tire weights. it must weigh 1000lbs.

Gun safes are primarily to protect young kids and other unauthorized persons from getting at guns. A dedicated thief is going to get in. The good thing is most thieves are not dedicated and are looking for a quick getaway.

Well sure - if the safe is sitting in the middle of the room. How about if you don’t know where the safe is? And, it is bolted to the foundation? And there is no access to the sides?

[Elderberry]

you might want to consider boxing it into a corner, so that the door is the only exposed piece. For additional security, be sure to bolt the safe to the floor from the interior, it will definitely make a big difference!

My safe is in the corner. I need to wall the one exposed side. And the top too, though there's slim clearance from the top to the ceiling. 52" wide, 40" deep, 89"tall. All 3/16" plate, except the 1,200 lb Vault door.

I got the door on Ebay for $100 and built the rest. I hired some high school wrestlers to help me get the door home.

One of the best ways to protect your guns is don’t talk about your guns.

Another really good way to protect your guns is DON”T TALK ABOUT YOUR GUNS.

Gun safes are for the protection of young children and liberals. They aren’t going to protect your assets from a determined criminal.

7 in. Cut off....

Oh Well!

From a security standpoint, the gun safe is the last line of defense against theft.

1. Make sure you have good locks on all doors and windows and keep shades drawn.
2. Install a security system and put stickers on windows and doors stating such.
3. Have a dog that is trained to raise an alarm if an intruder is able to bypass the electronic alarm.
4. Have at least one firearm accessible on each floor of your house. Locked, but accessible.

That's just a basic list. Security is all about layering.

Why I have a Liberty Safe E-lert installed.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

It has always been known that a lock is only there to keep an honest man honest.
