[QUOTE="Jester896, post: 1256773, member: 41793"] solid sheet doors are things to look for. Another one that makes theses are [U][U][U][URL="http://www.amsecusa.com/residential/gun-safes/bf-series-gun/"]AMSEC[/URL][/U][/U][/U]. They also make vault doors. Exposed hinges and concealed hinges...exposed hinges door opens increase with 180 opening. Concealed hinges only open to 110-120. [U][U][U][URL="http://www.prosteel.us/"]ProSteel [/URL][/U][/U][/U]makes Browning safes and have an excellent line of products. Same of the best safe bolt work I have seen is in Ft Knox and the higher end Brownings. Most of it is gear driven as opposed to cam driven. Electronic or mechanical locks...if you don't anticipate ever having to get in quickly or with a light of some type go this route. There are electronic locks that don't fail as often as described here. There are electronic locks that manually retract (S&G). Safe bolt work tends to put pressure on the locking bolt of the lock and causes it to fail in most cases...the mechanical retraction ones seem to handle this pressure better..Liberty uses them on most of their models. A 30 gun safe will hold about 15 scoped rifles One other thing to consider...raised residential flooring is designed to hold 600# in a 3' sq area. You may need to add additional support under the joists Happy Hunting [/QUOTE]
