X6 is a ton of money. Enough so that a reliable home security system combined with a lesser safe is probably the more realistic option. If you have a large collection, the cost of stuffing it in TL15 safes gets huge really fast.
This really gets overlooked a lot. Once you hit TL30x6 (which isn't the same as TL30!) talking about safes that exceed a ton in weight. Moving them in is a beast of a problem, too.
I've never had any illusions that my safe was burglary proof, and I've got a decent safe - a Heritage Tradition series safe. With that said, how I've got it positioned in my house makes it difficult to get to the sides, and it can't be moved because it's bolted down.
And motion alert surveillance cameras.....
That would be it. I pulled these photos off of a locksmith forum that I belong to - and embellished things a bit in order to make a point. While the safe did not actually contain guns, I was trying to point out how poorly many of the gun safes on the market perform when subjected to forced entry attacks. These are the same garbage containers carried at discount stores that I see constantly being discussed on this forum regarding "who has the lowest price?", as if the only difference between imported trash and a quality container is the price. A lot of these "safes" offer little more protection than a cardboard box and a padlock. Many of you own low-end junk like this and hopefully this will serve as a wake-up call to increase your security. I see similar circumstances all the time- guns, jewelry, cash, family heirlooms, etc....all severely under protected for the sake of saving money. The bottom line is: DON'T BE CHEAP.
I'm not on this forum to make sales, so no offense taken. I'm here to help prevent you guys from being victims.
