Hi everyone, I'm looking to get a gun safe for a third floor apartment to protect around $15K worth of expensive guns and optics. I have a security system and have reinforced the front door with an anti-kick kit but I'm thinking I should get a good residential security container in case of burglary. However the heavy welded gun safes would be very expensive to move up two flights of stairs and they might be too heavy for the floors.
I'm trying to decide between three options:
I'm leaning towards option #2 but I'm worried that the 3/16" steel door on the SnapSafe might be easy to pry, especially because of the visible gap. How long would it resist attack from the average burglar using basic tools?
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to decide between three options:
- Trying to hide the guns. Right now I am doing this with a cheap Stack-On RSC hidden behind heavy storage bins at the back of a "cubbyhole"
- Buy a ~500 lb SnapSafe Super Titan residential security container which has 7 gauge walls and a 3/16" door. It is modular, so it can be broken down into parts and carried up the stairs but would be too big to hide.
- Move into a first floor apartment (which is less secure because of the big windows and sliding glass doors) and get a welded RSC like a Sturdy or AMSEC BF series.
