Buy recommendations Update: Princess Auto safe
Ended up buying the safe and taking it home today. First impressions are good. Seems solid and well enough put together. Weighs in at 335lbs. Light enough I was able to move it with a regular dolly fairly easy. There is a fair amount of modularity inside and it comes with 2 large lag bolts and anchors. There is also a backup key hole behind the keypad. Now all that's left to do is fill it up!

Glad you did. Get a dehumidifier in there too

Anytime I buy something that has silica packets in it I toss them in my safe!

It came with some large silica gel packets so I'll see how those do for now

You can also buy a large jug of desiccant beads off amazon and put in there. They change color when they are spent and you can recharge them (dry them out in the microwave)

Carful if Natalie sees that stapler in that safe she might try to get it banned

Before you anchor it, move the safe into the corner to the right and spin it 90 degrees clockwise so the door faces the left wall of the closet.
You'll thank me if you ever get burglarized.

Is that a price tag on your lever???

There's not a price tag on anything in there. I just sold my 12 guage a few months ago and I still regret it

Looks like a reflection because of the polished finish of the brass

What caliber is that stapler?

This one is chambered 5/16ths right now. Easily interchangeable though

Damn. You can't even get a pop can safe from Canadian Tire for that much anymore.

Nail polish remover will get rid of the exterior decal on the outside
Makes it more cleaner in my opinion

You mean buy another. This is the real trap, everytime you buy a safe, you have to consider "what if I need another".
