<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1246575, member: 13650"]Have you ever watched the torture test videos of a Liberty gun safe? They put money in it and told these guys if they could break into it, they could have the money. Five guys beating and prying on it didn't do the trick. So they dropped it from a second or third story building. Still didn't open.

The highest end ones are 7 gauge steel with 1/4" plate steel in the door. 26 one and a half inch bolts in the door, 4 inches thick and can withstand 1200 degrees for 2.5 hours. Lifetime, transferable warranty. If somebody tries to break into one or you have a fire, they will repair or replace for free.
