Only thing you can really do is guard the open safe with your guns.
Vicious circle really.

I just ordered this one. Not only because of the price, its a manageable weight for me to move around by myself. I need something for now and this will have to do until later on

Got both. Would a cordless power tool still work?

Of course, but you better have a few batteries. Anything "TL" rated would be an issue.

I don't know if you can move it yourself. Granted I did not take the door off but it took 4 strapping young lads to get it upstairs.

It's manageable with 2 people when removing the door. The door is typically 1/3 of the over all weight. The safe body is around 275 and the door 130. A good hand truck and two people you're gtg.

Tip: I used crank straps to tie the hand truck to the safe with a blanket inbetween. This makes it one piece and give both people something to grab onto.

I've heard no, but who really knows?

I do, anything with semiconductors will be toast. Diodes, transistors, Microprocessor chips etc. all will be useless junk.

For that reason alone I wanted an old fashioned dial on my safe.

Put a GoldenRod in it and make sure it's not laying directly on cement or the bottom will rust out of it.

I have that safe.

To me its awesome.
Very thick, heavy and multipul locking bars.

To say its not a safe is bs.
Took 3 full grown men, with door taken off, to get this where it needed to go.

I would def purchase again.

Fire rating wasn't the best but way better than a locker or not having one at all.

I figure if my house burns I have bigger things to worry about.

Dude unless your a really big guy , your not bringing it down stairs (basement ) alone. On one floor you could use a moving blanket.

What is a good material for the bottom?

They are hard to find locally, but stall mats that are used for horses are perfect for this application. They are thick heavy rubber and don't compress under pressure. They are ideal for a gun safe. It allows the safe to be securely mounted and protects the bottom from moisture.

How about the rubber mats for garages and basements?

I used a plastic floor protector matt used for office chairs. You can get them at staples for about 50 bucks. I used the smooth bottom ones for non carpeted floors. I just cut it to size. They do not compress and you can slide the safe on it to fine tune the position. I have a 1000 lb safe on it.

 

[coyote]

you would probably need a magnatec drill to drill one of these things

I used my wife's old yoga mat and bolted through it

I've got the same Steelwater safe that wilgrah mentioned. One of the big selling points for me was the key override for the electronic lock. I know they say the brains of the lock are stored on non-volatile memory, but I like having the backup just in case.
