Guys, There is one other consideration I would like to explore on comparing AmSec BF vs. Sturdy.
Terry at Sturdy mentioned that they do not use the same door seal that AmSec & several other companies use.
Terry said the seal that Sturdy uses allows for each door to custom fit each safe because they form the door into the seal. This would allow the door to completely seat against the seal when you close the door.
The expanding seal on AmSec is rigid & I question if it make a good "day in day out seal".
The reason this is important is that several of us live in hot humid climates are have no other place for our RSCs than the garage. My climate can be hot or cold but is always humid.
Also - does any of this really matter as I plan on having desiccant in the safe in Summer and maybe a heat rod in winter?
If the door seal is tighter on one safe that allows the safe to keep out the heat or cold better.
2nd Issue: Terry stated that the heat transfer insulative properties of Sturdy insulation behave differently than AmSec's. I would be very curious to know which safe would do a better job regulating internal temp when the temp in the garage ranges from 20F - 110F.
