[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Making Gun Safe as Fireproof as Possible

Posted: 2/28/2012 12:47:47 PM EDT

I believe My biggest threat to my guns and other valuables is Fire. I am probably going to order an Amsec BF Safe and I was thinking of sticking another smaller fire safe inside for Media and cash etc... Then when I priced these I was at $300 to $600 for these little safes. Wondering if I could just BUY a more fire resistant safe than the BF or what can I do to make it more fire resistant? Any ideas?

Build a room to fire code around the safe. Suprisingly, $600 worth of materials may get it done, assuming you do the work yourself.

That makes sense. Did notice the AMSEC CSC4520 EXECUTIVE GUN SAFE says it has 2 hours of fire instead of the 90 min of the BF. What do you guys think of that safe instead?

The CSC is an imported safe that they rebadge, and in this case, install a gun interior in.

I haven't been too impressed with the quality of the safe itself.
