Where to put the safe?

Where in your home is the best area or spot to bolt down your safe?

Mine is in a closet. That way I didn't have to rip up carpet and when the door is closed you can't see it.

 

Adam:
Drop it off at my house, I'll watch it for you.
(P.S. Feel free to fill it first.)

 

The basement....so it will not fall throuth the floor....since it is sooo big and full of gold!!!!

 

in a safe place? (PUN INTENDED). Get one big enough that you dont have to worry about somebody picking it up a carrying it off. Mine was brought in with a wrecker. (jk) Out of site out of mind, and dont advertise that you have one to friends, they will be the first to rip you off given a chance.

 

Put it where the temperature and humidity are most comfortable for you, because that is likely to be best for the coins too. Attics are too hot, basements too damp.

 

Mine is so heavy, that it's in the garage. There's no way it could make it into the house. that reminds me, I need to get some dessicant for it.

 

i put mine in the front living room. i know what alot of you will think, but weighing in at just under 1000 pounds (empty), it couldnt go on the 2nd floor,and i live on a slab (no basement). So, with little choice left, we just made a spot in the front living room.

 

Put a table cloth over it and call it an end table, right?

 

put it right under the sign that says 'this place protected by smith&wesson'

 

No Can Tell, that's part of the BoneDigger Security Plan. BTW, they recently arrested a couple of kids just north of here who had been breaking into rural homes around Wall, SD looking for prescription drugs and valuables, then fleeing back to the (Pine Ridge Indian) Reservation... They were pretty sneaky waiting until the Livestock Sale Barns were open and all the ranchers were there either selling or buying cattle. I guess they surprised a lady who shot a hole into their car as it took off. Easy to ID them when they got all huffed up and tried for another crime spree. They were caught the minute they got into Scenic, SD... (VBG)

Damn, I'm glad we have our little business co-located to where our house is at.

 

Floor safes work great in the garage, positioned where a car's tire is directly over the cover!

Just remember not to forget the dessicant - lots of it.

 

i think bank safes are the best no one will know u have one

 

Mine is bolted to the slab in a closet...

 

how much do these safes cost if they are too expensiv ei would rather spend the money on coins

 

well, its 27" deep x 38" wide x 60" high .. not good for a table

 

I got mine at a very good price. But no matter what your budget is for coins, eventually you come to a point where its better to spend a bit to protect what you have. my safe is fire rated for 1800 degrees for 2 hours. the average house fire is 1150 for 90 minutes. So my safe should be protected form a fire. Also, its been tool tested by experts to have a tooling rating of 2 hours i think. this means that it would take an expert a while, and an amature even longer to break in (obviously blowing it up would open it quicker, but then nothing would be left anyway) so someone who breaks in will steal my TV and stuff, and not worry about the safe.

nothing is perfect, but hopefully the safe i have will keep whats inside safer then hiding it in my closet.

 

Get one like this installed in your home. Nobody will carry it off.

 

haha indianhead, that would be a VERY good way to protect your coins. Add in a few securty cameras, a laser grid, and a couple booby traps, and you would have a nice set-up.

 

If I had enough coins to justify a safe like that I'd be sleeping in there with them....lol
