[QUOTE="Mr.Glock, post: 2701391, member: 32877"] You mean fireboard in lieu of the welding blankets? I would agree, much cleaner and less hassle. Your right on about not using sheetrock. I have owned both Bear and Armor vaults, they are tough, but hated the keys and I wanted to down size to three smaller safes to ease in moving them. I have a Two American Security's and one Liberty now. The American Security's weigh in at close to 900lbs each and are much easier to move than the humongous Armor Vaults I had and the huge over 6ft tall Bear I had. I forget what the Bear weighed, but the Armor Vault was well over 1000lbs. And I cannot agree with more on the drilling all the way through the slab, this a some good advice, it sure beats moving them as stated and having to grind off the anchors. And I might add that if your setting one over carpet, to cut out the carpet where the anchors are going through before setting the safe over the carpet and then drilling, it will save the carpet from winding up and giving you fits when drilling. I have set all my safes where I wanted them, and marked the holes with a permanent marker, moved the safe, cut a two by two out around the holes, drill and shop vac the holes and then re set the safe. And again, drill all the way through the concrete. Oh and don't forget your electric for your humidity rod and lights before setting in place and bolting down!! The welding blankets do work, I have made a few House Fires where they were used to protect and they will work, you suffer some water damage but not heat. [/QUOTE]
