I know very little about this, but I always thought ‘snap safe’ was a cool Idea
Thank you for the link.
I had not heard of this approach.
Snap safes are cool. Specs are hi temp and how long at hi temp. Snap safes are above most in this area.
This modular safe is an interesting idea. I’d be interested in seeing two things about them before buying them.
Are they waterproof and can they survive a fall of about 10 feet while loaded with your possessions with that water proofing intact? Water is an enemy of the contents of a safe that is used to protect against fire. Here is a scenario: You load up the safe with guns, money, whatever. House catches fire. Fire department comes and puts the fire out with water. The weight of the safe and the fire result in the safe plunging through the floor into the basement, which is then filled with water during the quenching process. Does the safe survive the fall with its waterproofing intact?
After the fire you try to recover your posessions from a submerged safe. Water is the enemy of firearms that have wood stocks. It is also the enemy of paper documents. Currency will usually survive short term submergence, but not many other paper-type documents will.
Now, clearly, if you live on a slab home then you never face this scenario.
Why take up space in a gun safe with ammo? Makes no sense to me.
Very expensive, but certainly nice. So far, every safe I’ve looked at is inadequate. Not tall enough, not deep enough. Bad reviews. This is an incredibly frustrating experience. Maybe just get a super strong dead bolt and tamper proof hinges for his closet, which is almost room-sized.
