When investing in a gun safe, you want to make sure you pick out the right one, with the features you need and the size and capabilities you're looking for. Here are some tips for choosing the right safe for you! When you're ready, call us at
Welter Lock & Safe!
-
The safe you buy should come equipped with heavy duty linkage that is
capable of withstanding tremendous amounts of torque through the handle
without damaging the lock system or shear pins.
-
Don't be impressed with multiple locking pins. The heart of the locking system and how it is protected is much more important.
-
The
safe you buy should have hard plate protecting the combination box. It
should also have a hard plate protecting the independent re-lock, or the
entire locking area.
-
Make
sure the hard plate is not directly welded to the door. It is very
important that your raised mounting plate be made in a fashion where it
is welded firmly to the door and the hard plate slips in between the
mounting plate and the surface of the door. The combination box is then
bolted to the mounting plate. Welds to the mild steel are many times
stronger than are welds to hard plate.
-
To
help avoid moisture problems, your safe should be made in a fashion
that will allow weather stripping around the door. Fire safes should
come equipped with a fire gasket.
