[QUOTE="bambihunter, post: 3587075, member: 342"] I've got a big double door custom Bear safe. It weighs over 2 tons. It is bolted to the floor in numerous places. They are the Model T of safes. They are plain and ugly. The key system is a PITA, but does seem to be more effective than others. I think it is fairly secure and is minimum of 1/4" plate on all sides. However, the actual build quality kind of sucked. The doors aren't close to square, they warped by more than 1/4" on the panel. They wobble in the opening and if there was a fire, everything would be smoke damaged long before the seal would swell up to seal. They had to come out and do some grinding to make the door fit. It took them a bit first to respond, then longer to actually come out and do it. We had a very specific size we wanted to maximize the usable storage space and they accommodated that (which wasn't very different from what they offered, but just enough...) Would I buy again from them? Maybe. Probably. I just wish their build quality was better. They said the metal warping was normal. With family members previously working in shipyards, we know that simply isn't true. There are ways to hold things square while they are welded up. [/QUOTE]
