[QUOTE="kanga, post: 757055, member: 9270"]A couple things about home safes: 1. For insurance purposes a Class-B (also known as a "2 hour" safe) is recommended. It provides fire protection for 2 hours at about 1800 degrees. Good enough for house fires. Hugh Wood requires that for their less expensive insurance. 2. Make it heavy (too big for 2 people to take). Or better yet bolt it to the floor. Now the bad news: A safe that type and size will cost more than $1000. You might be able to find a old one for less. [B]ldhair[/B]'s suggestion of splitting the collection between the bank (expensive items) and home (inexpensive items) is another reasonable solution.[/QUOTE]
