The Wright-Line Data Bank safe I own was originally used to store data tapes for a business. (a1abdj, you know Hussmann) It is fully insulated, built like a tank and very secure. If a normal burglar wanted to break into mine, he would give up long before he succeeded. Just the sight of this 7 foot monster is intimidating. It makes the "gun-show safes" look like toys. Over all, a great buy. When I got it, it had hangers for reel-to-reel tapes that were easily removed from its interior, giving me an open area for gun storage. It has a shelf about 12" from the bottom that I left in so that important papers and such can be placed there. According to my friend with the commercial safe business, the garage could burn down around it and the contents would remain fine. And it would take an expert with special equipment and a fair amount of time to break in. That is the key, theoretically any safe can be defeated. The point is how much equipment, expertise, and time would it take? Very few people have graduated from safe schools and most people think that they can open a safe by beating on the lock or some other such silly things. I'm sure that a1abdj could write a book on things he has seen! If you find a used safe, ask an expert if it will fill your needs as I did. And for God's sake, have him service it before you lock it!
