[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 2496836, member: 77814"]Great information. Very similar to other stuff I've read. It's one of those things where you start questioning to gain more knowledge of everything. Those fancy looking bolts look like a great sale gimmick but if they are short and can be tilted when a door is attacked just let the door pop open. So the better safes have longer bolts or just slabs of metal. Then many of the TLs only have bolts/slabs on the opening and not any other side. But when you are dealing with a 1/2" or greater of heavy duty steal it's not going to bend especially if the body is heavy duty too. There's a lot of learning about safes in general. But I'll be moving up to at least a C rated if not TL-15. I still use a bank SDB too. I've also read a lot of the cheaper steel bodied safes coming from China. Gardall's Cash Safe has one from China and I spoke with them and they didn't recommend it as compared to their USA made ones even though it's rated the same. lol[/QUOTE]
