I am going to take two safes, side by safe. The AMSEC BF6032 and the Liberty Colonial 23. Both are of nearly identical size and cost. Both come with a S&G electronic lock (same model number I believe).
Now apples to apples, what about an AMSEC makes it a better purchase?
AMSEC BF Door
1/2" solid steel plate
Liberty Colonial Door
1/10" sheet steel door wrapped on gypsum
AMSEC BF Body
1/8" steel, injected composite fireproofing, steel inner liner
Liberty Colonial Body
1/10" steel
AMSEC BF Fire Protection
Injected composite (goes in as liquid)
Liberty Colonial Fire Protection
X rated gypsum board
AMSEC BF Hinges
External (stronger, adjustable, full door swing)
Liberty Colonial Hinges
Internal (weaker, not adjustable, 90 degree swing)
AMSEC BF Weight
810 Pounds
Liberty Colonial Weight
565 Pounds
The locks are similar, as are the warranties
Now, here is the second issue, and in my mind almost of similar importance. Speaking to many dealers, all but one will only deliver to my curb. No one will take it up one flight of strairs and put it where I want it. N
Anybody who's really in the safe business can put your safe wherever you want it. If you're talking to people who can't perform the delivery, then you need to talk to somebody else.
When I ship a safe, I can only get it to the curb. I can usually located a professional safe mover to take it from there.
Ironically, only the Liberty dealer will deliver and install the safe where ever I ask him to for just $150.
Ironically, I do all of the deliveries for the local Liberty dealer, who's one of the biggest dealers in the country
I can probably point you towards some local AMSEC dealers or somebody capable of moving the safe for you if you let me know where you're located.
