"Watching a company's videos about their own products is like listening to a politician. May as well listen but you're hearing their "truths"." -- jrdolall True...but that doesn't apply to Surdy Safe's videos: Some very serious "unauthorized access" abuse given to their safes and they STILL...

Well, yes. I can't think of anything more positive than actual owners pleased with the product they bought. And that's enough said -- for me. Plus the videos (see below). As for fireproofing, I wasn't addressing that -- as mentioned in an earlier post, I only wanted security protection, not...

"However, the praise did not seem to be overwhelming." -- orpington ...I think we have answered the OP's original concerns about Sturdy Safe in an "overwhelming" and positive fashion. ;-)

Dan, I just mentioned that about power tools to forestall the "rain on my parade" crowd that no matter what positive things you say about a safe/RSC, there's always someone who says, "Yeah, but with my angle-grinder I can get into it in 5 minutes." Yeah, we KNOW! So I was just saying that up...

Walkalong, Yes, no-frills, just SERIOUS security (for a RSC). Just TRY* to get into a locked Sturdy Safe (without the combination, of course!) compared to 99.9% of all the other RSCs out there in this price-range! Use as LONG a pry bar as you want -- good luck... Mine being newer has the...

orpington, You'll find people posting for and against Sturdy Safe -- but IMO, I think they're a quality product. No frills, but thicker steel -- 3/16" body (7-gauge), 5/16" door (0 gauge) -- than most 10-12 gauge RSCs (9/64" to 7/64") and VERY HARD to get into compared to most of them. And also...

I remove the doors from my 2 external-hinge "safes" every time I move them -- they come OFF very easily but do go ON a bit harder due to lining up a HEAVY door precisely on the same plane/axis as the pins, but I do it. It's not difficult nor is there any danger unless you're careless. Maybe...

IIRC, that only applies to safes/RSCs that have external hinges, not internal. I think Liberty uses internal hinges (the ones I've seen). Consequently, that's one negative of Liberty RSCs -- you have to move the whole HEAVY thing. When I was trying to move my liberty Presidential 25, it would...

jeepnik, You're right...sorry I missed the spelling...

jeepnik, True, America's going "South" big-time (and faster than I had expected living to see) but the problem with being an ex-pat living in/retiring to another country is that NONE of them have our particular Constitution nor our Bill of Rights, and especially the 2nd Amendment/RKBA. Even...

Partizanai, I said that about people stealing "anything not nailed down" because in one city I used to live in (El Paso, TX), criminals there would break into people's houses and steal "anything not nailed down" -- even their used toothbrushes were taken. On another occasion, they broke...

Walkalong, That looks like a nice safe for the OP's 1 gun & ammo (and similar to the Cobalt S838C I mentioned earlier). And it's "almost" Class B rated: It's 1/8" shy in thickness for the body of the safe, even though the door is right on @ 1/2" thick. Still, if this is bolted down...

One good thing about a safe with external hinges is that the door usually comes off, which really helps when it comes time to move it. [I'm talking here about the OWNER moving it, not thieves!] A door is about 30% of a safe's/RSC's total weight, so removing it lightens up the body of the...

diablo2184, Nice...that should keep your stuff very "safe" I'm sure! ;-) In my case, I needed something with thick enough steel to feel better about it (vs. the typical 10, 11, 12-gauge steel RSCs being sold all over the Internet and even Big Box stores, and even better than my earlier...

diablo2184, Which Amsec did you get?
