<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 1246667, member: 15062"]The best safe is one with locking lugs on the top, bottom and opening side of the door and with hinges mounted on the interior. The best place for a safe is in the side of a closet, surrounded on three sides by wall, with the opening toward the back wall and bolted through the back and bottom to studs and joists. This makes it almost impossible to tip over or get leverage to pry the door. A thief would have to tear the house apart to get it out to where he could work on it. If he tried to torch it open he'd burn the house down before he have success. Also the safe should have a drain hole to allow water to escape because one way most safes can be opened is by drilling a hole in the top or upper door, inserting a bit of C-4 and blowing it open; the water spreads the force equally through the safe, air won't do that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
