Default RE: Gun Safes: Lessons Learned?

Ruger,
Go to a good lock and safe shop , sometimes they have them laying around thier tool boxe's,
or have safe's just for parts or go to an out board motor shop and see what lenght and diameter
they have.
I always used un-hardened Roll Pins. Many safes come with them.

As for AMSEC "STAR"safes, most good lock and safe shop's carry or can get them.
I have seen them used from $1600-$2000 in alot of shops.
Close to me is COLLIER SAFE CO. in Odesa Fl. and National Safe CO. in Clearwater Fl..
They make Bank quality safes and vault doors.
I like Diebold, Mosler and Amsec, but I understand most working hunters on a budget
can only afford the common and I can't blame them. They should take your GOOD advise
and Alarm them, depending on thier colletion or even a couple of top $$$$ guns.

A little Trivia.......The only thing standing in Hiroshima after the bomb was the Mosler Bank Vaults!
How's that for a name? Diebold is considered just as good IMHO.
For the home AMSEC is top of the line of safe's,but make sure your floor can support the weight
because they are heavy.

I don't want to comment on how the safe man opened yours! Not on the Forum!
When Liberty Safe's first started, I met the man who started it, in a Safe Show here
in town. He had the backs off the doors to show his design of the bolt works. He incorperated
a good lock anti-drill system on them. IMHO Liberty is a well protected safe for the money.
They make less expensive ones too.

The person who burglarised your's did not
know what he was doing or he would have gotten your guns. Probably a young kid!
I won't mention how on the forum.

When people go in Lock and Safe shops, the sales person is going to push the Item where
he is going to make the most profit.

Make sure you know about his reputation? Some of them will sell information about your
safe location and even combination. Ask him to show you proof of Insurance and he needs to be BONDED!
