Safe selection: How " SAFE" is your safe from thieves?
- Thread starter Comanche
- Start date
After a friend of the families safe was stolen we built a custom enclosure in the space underneath the stairs in his basement. We used 5/8" concrete board (Hardie Board...its cement and fiberglass mixed together) and anchored the panels all throughout the space, then the door opening was rebuilt with steel studs and then the door frame was grouted in place. Once this was done a solid core steel door was installed with high strength hardware. THis provided a larger space for the items needing storage and also didn't draw so much attention to the area. The only way to get in there would be through the concrete walls and unless the burgler has a diamond blade demo saw...he/she isn't going to get very far.
nicely played ZakkDimebag! time would be of the essence here and would not be their friend. i guess you are right though fella
Or y'all could let me build you one of these

safebuilder that is nice.
I never show off what I have. Most safes are farily easy to open if you understand how they work. Dogs ,cameras, and alarms are deterrents. My advice also is out of sight out of mind. Is someone is breaking into your house to get into your safe they know you or someone you know sold you out. Safebuilder that's what I am talking about!

Thanks. I have built these in 21 states. New construction such as this, existing basements, underground and in houses of all kinds.
Those are triple mats 4 inch on center each way in a 12 inch wall. All four walls and roof poured at one time. Dont think tilt would work on this although a lot of bank vaults are now precast.
