Great idea for a sub-forum IMHO. Thanks!  I have (ETA: HAD, new safes posted later in thread) a reinforced/dedicated gun room instead of multiple traditional safes, so no pics of that type to share...  ... but my bedside wall safe always gets me several IM questions every time I post a pic or reference to it, so I thought it might be a fun, non-traditional first pic for this thread.    In the wall, right beside the bed. (Old pic, though –– the contents have changed dramatically since then. I need to take a new one.  )Phoenix, Inc. "RifleLocker" (before anyone asks  )http://www.gunlocker.com/SafeSite_content.html I've had it for years, ever since we had our first child, and I couldn't be happier with it. |

Very cool. I checked out the site. How secure is it? Elec combo only from what I could tell in the photo's. How does it mount into the wall? Seems like a great idea to keep kids out..just wondering how well it would keep a thief out.
Thanks for the sharing the pics. |

I have one similar.
it has a solenoid that enables the mechanism to be turned, once the code is entered. to use the key only it functions the opposite way, to me this is it's weak point. but the good point is that you can't just grab it, it mounts between the studs in the wall then you re-do the drywall around it.it's security is how well YOU mount it in the wall.there are no points to get a hold on it to rip it out.a thief would have to have the time to tear out the wall and then cut the bolts in it's mounting.so mount it in a spot that it can't be gotten to from behind, then it can't be knocked thru from the back. this is good, I would prefer more than a 6 inch depth tho.but for $560 or so a good deal. |

I got the Field & Stream/Stack On at Dick's about 2 months ago. I'll post a pic as soon as I figure out how to shrink down my digicam pics.
Good deal in my opinion, just about killed myself getting it downstairs. Haven't bolted it down yet, but I already need something else to put my ammo in, it's just about taking all the room already. |

If so I would love a detailed review with more pics? here are more pics The top cap - fits over the walls of the safe. I think the steel is 10ga? 
the interior showing the 3/8" pins holding the parts together (no nuts and bolts) 
interior of door frame, the frame has another interior plate to double the thickness 
open door pic again, the door has 12 locking pins - 6 per side (3/4" diam., no top/bottom) 
I placed the safe on a platform of 2X4s and anchored it to the floor using a Hilti and 3/8" anchors into the pre-drilled holes of the safe I'm happy with the safe, it seems plenty sturdy and construction is excellent. Other assemble-on-site safes I saw were more clunky and not as nice. I chose this style of safe because I live in a townhouse, wanted to set it up in a basement with tight stair access, and I wanted to be able to move the safe myself |

I'm going to remove all the old fireproofing and install new fireproof material, with cedar wood instead of the pine, recessed lights, Kevlar wraps aroudn the locking mechanism to prevent drilling. Plus updating the fireproofing material will free up some more space for more toys. Basically make it pretty and more secure than it already is I moved it myself. |

That would make a great thread.

OOh I'll do a full write up. I'm still researching materials and allocating space for this monster |

I'd love to see photos of your progress as you restore this beast. These older safes are built with the kind of craftsmanship I see utterly lacking in a lot of security containers made today. You're probably well aware of this, but just in case: there's a very good chance any fibrous fireproofing materials that you encounter inside the safe will contain asbestos (and of the particularly nasty sort that they used back in the day). |

Yup I don't know what they used back then so I won't be taking chances. I'll be using a respirator and gloves, |

If you can, wet down any fireproofing material before you do anything to it (get it sopping wet).
See if you can get some Tyvek coveralls too. The non-chrysotile asbestos they used prior to the 1950s and 1960s is really, really nasty stuff. Originally Posted By ProjectNick:
