You would be surprised how much the younger generation knows about the workings of a safe. That's why I mentioned about buying a safe by it's Label and not Looks and Price. It's always a good idea of incorporating theexisting Alarm System in your home to your safeif you havean Alarm System.
Never place your Safe by Windows, Entrance Doors or Exit Doors. If placed in basements, have a good Dehumidifier working at all times. Be careful with placing Camera's in safe's cause of humidity.
