900F, Thanks for your input. You are saying there would be little need to bolt down a 3,600 pound safe? I have already put about 500 pounds of Long guns (and ammo to feed them with) in the safe already :D Unless you tell me that two or three experienced/professional bad guys, with the...

A1, The inside of my door is one solid piece of metal. There is no cutaway glassed in section where you can see gears and the locking mechanism. I think you have to unbolt the thick (it sounds thick when I rap it with a knuckle anyways) metal covering to access (and therefore view) the...

That is the exact sequence I have to follow to unlock my Chatwood, except I need a small key to unfreeze the dial, and a larger key (about six inches long and is made up of two pieces) to enable the locking bolts to be retracted after the combo is input. I let lack@s@fe set my combo, the...

Photos removed as requested. The inside of the door is solid metal. There are holes bored into the metal to accomadate the locking bolts. This safe has two on top and two on the bottom as well as the four going down the sides. Massive difference between a gun locker and my safe, but I...

The Chatwood was delivered without a hitch, it's on the floor, though they suggested putting it on pressure treated 2 by 4's. I need a key to unlock the dial, and then another to allow the safe to be opened once the combo is put in. The big key is an 8 or 10 tumbler, with teeth on both...

Thanks again A1. I just spoke to them - it's an older generation of the Monarch series. Body is one piece cast, they plan on putting to right on the cement and will ensure it's level. Good point on the safe being level, the door will be 25% of the weight of the safe (according to the...

A1, thanks for your input. Too bad this forum does not allow for posts to be "thanked". If it did, I suspect you would have almost as many thanks as you have posts. They plan on putting the safe directly on the concrete floor. Would this make moving the safe even harder than if it were...

I went with the Chatwood. It's an older version of the Monarch, near the top of their lineup. It is currently being reconditioned (by lackas#fe), which means they take apart and refurbish the locking mechanism, then repaint. It does not have anchor holes in the bottom of the safe. The...

Thanks for the advise A1. The safe company says there are only 50 guys is the country who could crack the Chatwood, and it would take him (he is one of the 50) about 4 hours to crack it. Which would be too long because of my layered security system. Prob too much safe for what I need right...

I am looking for a gun safe as well as something to store my coin collection I am looking at an Original TL-30x6 against an older (used) Chatwood Milner. I can get the Original delivered for about 4k vs the Chatwood for about 7k. Not a apples to apples here as the Chatwood is a TRTL-30...
