Over the weekend i went to visit an old friend who had moved away to the country.
He bought in the early 1980's a gun safe made by a company named Security Products.
It's a really big safe that measures 72x42 and uses 1/4 plate on the walls so i guess that gets it into the real "safe" league.
The most unique thing about it is it uses a recessed key to lock it.
I had never heard of this company and pretty much figured that they,like so many gun safe builders, had fallen to the way side due to Chinese imports and the high cost of materials and labor.
However i googled them and found they actually still do exist.

Does anyone here own one of these safes and if so have they held up in an attempted break in or fire??
My friends safe has not been put through this situation but he says he has never had an issue with the lock mechanism or hinges and the paint has held up to time very well as he keeps it in his shop building that is not heated or air conditioned.
I would also appreciate some input from our two safe guys on their opinions on the key lock system on these safes and the builders claims of it being virtually drill proof.
It seems like a pretty simple but well thought out alternative to those infernal electronic locks or combination locks found on everyone elses safes.
I was particularly impressed that you can get one of their 1/4 plate safes for a price of what most gun "safe" companies sell their 3/16 of an inch safes(rsc's) for.
They also make 10 gauge bodied gun "safes" as well for an affordable price.
I am not affiliated in any way what so ever with this product but just wanted to hear some feed back if that's possible.
