A safe is essential if you have a gun at home. It is also essential that your safe is easy for you to use but difficult to access without your authorization.
It’s true that safes are made from tough, heavy gauge steel, typically half an inch thick. There may be two sheets of hard steel in safes with the ball bearings sandwiched between the two layers. These ball bearings make drilling through the door or sides very difficult.
The door and lock are inherently the weakest points of any safe. When you lock the safe door, this should operate hardened steel or titanium bolts on all four sides. Hinges are internal so that they do not present a weakness to an intruder.
A key, combination, or fingerprint may be used in order to operate locks. In the best safes, you will notice that they have combinations of different types of lock and time delays before a lock will open.
Remember that key locks can be picked and that the most complex key operated lock can be picked by an expert as well. An expert will be able to find a combination code on a rotary combination dials fairly easily. If you have a combination lock, then a keypad combination is the option for you. There are no moving parts to go wrong, or to give clues to a safe cracker who is listening to the lock as he or she operates it.
It is important to keep the keypad clean. Giving clues to anyone trying to get into your safe are keys that are dirty or clean. Make sure the combination you choose bears no relationship to phone numbers, birth dates or any other data that can be guessed.
A fingerprint-operated lock is the best option. You can then have absolute confidence that while your fingers are attached to your body that nobody will be able to open your safe without your knowledge.
A fingerprint operated lock combined with a keypad combination lock, or a second fingerprint operated lock set up for a second person provides the best security for guns or valuables.
Usually built into home safes with layers of insulating material and expanding door seals that exclude oxygen and prevent combustion of the safe contents is fire protection.
