[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1553697, member: 31749"] Amsec BF HD is the only one remotely built like a true safe (poured cement fire liner with 1/4" steel liner inside). Also has the same door and bolt work of their actual TL-15 safes (plate steel instead of composite made of multiple layers of thin sheet steel). Its also probably the only one even remotely capable of achieving anything resembling fire resistance. Next best would be the Ft. Knox ONLY if you opt for the additional steel layers on the inside. Still uses glorified drywall for "fire resistance" though which can destroy your valuables even if they dont burn, and if its a hot fire the drywall crumbles and falls of the walls (the additional steel on the inside mitigates this to a degree). If you just need a lockbox that keeps kids out and slows down thieves, get a Sturdy safe and skip the fire liner. Other than the Ft Knox, everything else on your list is trash, they arent even remtely fire resistant, and wont even provide meaningful resistance to anyone with a prybar/help. People may get upset by that, but its mind boggling how some people spend thousands of dollars on guns and then buy the gas station vending machine condom equivalent of a "safe" to protect it all. Just buy a $200 security cabinet if you are going to be that much of a cheapskate. [/QUOTE]
