Gun Safes - Any recommendations?

They’re so heavy, I’ve helped install/bring in 2, from my experience they are for the first floor and a fixed appliance once placed. Anybody try to take a big bastard up or down a set of stairs?

Placement is either basement (going to end up there anyways if a fire happens) or garage.

Both have issues. Basement floods and moving it in or out. Garage is right next to all the tools and likely isnt temperature controlled. Dont have a basement or garage? Buy only the size you need for now and put it wherever you can. The higher the fire rating, the heavier it is.

Once you find your forever landing place you can step up to a bigger safe to store all your paperwork and such. Like a barn, it'll fill up fast. Never big enough.

I have 2 cheap Homacks that aren’t fire safe rated. Just a metal cabinet that secures them from any normal person snooping. Got them 30+ years ago when the kids were toddlers and needed to put the hunting guns away from them. Always figured I’d upgrade down the road. Never happened.
I look at them now and then when we’re out and bout shopping. But at this point? I’m good with what I have.
