Some time ago, we had a big discussion about safes and residential security containers in this thread:
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=703252&highlight=safe
Following up on that thread I ordered a big Graffunder safe from CB900F's outfit.
I took delivery of the 3600 pound monster on Wednesday.
It took about 4 hours to get it in place. And that's with 3 sturdy professionals running the show and me trying to stay the hell out of the way.
The safe itself is .. well, rather stunning. It was the first Graffunder that this particular safe company had ever installed. When the safe technician (who's been published in journals) saw the seam on the door, he said "oh my...". (I think he fell in love)
You can't slide a credit card in to the seam of the door. (Or in this case, my NRA card.)
The safe itself weighed in at over 3600 pounds. With that weight, and being lagged to the rebar reinforced floor, it would take a tank to pull it out.
The door weighs probably 800-1,000 pounds. These hinges are massive.
But it opens effortlessly. Well, once you get it moving, that is! The thickness of the steel is impressive. 1" thick steel door.
1/2" thick exterior body with a 3/16" inner lining (which is thicker than the OUTER shell on most commercial residential security containers..)
The interior was custom built; but I won't show it - forgot to get a "before" picture, and now it's full of my "stuff".
Overall, I'm extraordinarily happy with the build, with CB900F for providing such excellent guidance through the entire process. He really did make it hassle free.
1000% recommend them.
