School me on Gun Safes

[DADI03]

Safe sizes are like tent sizes. They base it on what can be crammed in not put in neatly and nicely.

Hey guys,

A couple of years ago I did some research on gun safes, but got sidetracked and never bought one. Now, I'm ready to pull the trigger and I'm just as confused as I was before. Here's my situation and maybe you guys and give me some guidance.

I think my biggest potential hazard is a fire. So, I'd like the safe to have a smoke/water seal and a hour fire rating at around 1200 degrees. What type of seal should I be looking for? Should I ask for a specific name? Do most safes have that type of seal now? The second hazard is theft, what should I look for in a safe there? I do think that's way down on the list as usually someone is home, I have an alarm system and I plan to hide the safe.

I not sure of the size just yet, but probably something like 36" wide and around 28-30" deep. Or whatever comes closest to that. I have a turn it needs to make on entry. The door opening is 36" wide and there is an object 37 1/2" in front of the door that the safe needs to pivot and turn in front of.

Thanks for any insight!

I just my checked PM's, last time we spoke about a safe my wife was 8 1/2 months pregnant, LOL


We just celebrated her 2nd Birthday 2-19

Thanks guys, the size I get is limited by the area to maneuver it through. But, I might get two.

I don't mind traveling to the northside for my ODT brothers, I just have to do it at odd times or weekends because the traffic is a nightmare!
