<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1806138, member: 26302"]I have always believed how you install the safe is more important than the safe itself. Always install a safe, if possible, surrounded by walls and bolted either into concrete or very deeply into floor joyces. A $5,000 safe unbolted and unsurrounded can be broken into in a minute or less by professionals. A $1,000 safe properly installed will take much longer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am currently looking at remodeling my house. If I do, I am looking at making a small room specifically for a safe. It will be like a small closet, with steel plate bolted into the studs in the interior, with barely enough room to fit the safe inside. The safe will have 12 inch bolts running into floor joyces, and far enough back from the doorframe that no one could get a crowbar between the door and side of the safe. In such a construction, where the only possible choice would be to professionally drill the safe, I believe my valuables would be safest. It will cost maybe $500 to build such a room, and I believe that is money much better spent than an additional $500 on a more expensive safe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
