    Orginial Safe Company (Lacka Safe)

    I agree. Even Fort Knox (the Army base, not the gun safe) can be broken into with the right team and tools. However, as a homeowner trying to secure a gun and jewelry collection, I am not so worried about a team of professionals coming into my house with a drill rig to work my safe for hours. I...

    Orginial Safe Company (Lacka Safe)

    <edited for accuracy> Slamfire - the safe in the video you posted (and indeed most gas station or fast food depository safes) appears to be a Tidel TACC. It carries no current UL rating, nor does it even live up to the outdated "B" rating. It is made of 1/4" plate all around, including the...

    Orginial Safe Company (Lacka Safe)

    OTR - Lacka used to manufacture in the former Yugoslavia (Macedonia). When the genocide issues started peaking in the late 1990's they moved manufacturing over to China. I debated the merits of their decision with one of their salespeople (the owner's daughter, maybe?). We went back and...

    Orginial Safe Company (Lacka Safe)

    Honest T - Nice first post. It's not at all obvious that you are related to Lacka or one of its distributors. Nope, you're clearly just a well educated person who stumbled onto this thread and felt the need to set the record straight. ;)

    Orginial Safe Company (Lacka Safe)

    Congratulations on your purchase, and I hope you enjoy it for many years to come. I also considered the Original but once I found out it was made in China I decided against it. I saw them in person and they "look" fine at first glance. I didn't notice any defects or obvious issues that I...

    I want a really well made gun safe but don't want to spend the big bucks!

    'Well Made" + "Super Secure" are somewhat subjective. Do you want it to look pretty and have a Rolls-Royce fit and finish, or are you looking for it to be sturdy and reliable? As for security, are you looking for RSC level protection or TL rating? And to your point of "well made" and...

    Questions about a few safes

    Used definitely sounds like the best way to hit your desires and your budget. There are usually many more safe dealers in your area than you think. When I first started doing research for myself, I found only 2-3 local dealers on Google. After getting referrals and digging a lot more, it turns...

    Question regarding two gun safes (RSCs)

    +1 a media vault (not really a vault, but that's what they are called) will cost you about $150 - $300 for a good quality one depending on the size. Put your sensitive docs & media inside and park that puppy inside your (hopefully fire rated) safe. However, if your safe is not fire-rated, it...

    Question regarding two gun safes (RSCs)

    A $1,500 budget isn't half bad for an RSC. For that price point, you may consider looking at a used Amsec BF series. New BF safes start in the $2300 range so $1500 is about right for used. IMHO, there is no better RSC dollar for dollar than the Amsec BF. Sturdy is one of the best values in an...

    Amvault vs. ISM vs. Hamilton vs. Bernardini - TL Rated Safes

    Hello all. Long time lurker / first time poster. This is going to be a long one, so I apologize in advance. It's my hope that this thread will not only help guide me, but others who need TL rated safes in the future. I currently own an 8 year old Amsec BF6030. For those of you not familiar...
