[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 97373, member: 11"] I have only seen the inside of one Heritage safe door but it is the one I was thinking about when I wrote about lousy welds and weld wire still hanging from the weld points. It looked like the thing was made in high school metal shop class, By a C student. This may not be representative of all of them but when you hit the $1000 mark I think it should be worth a look. Also If the safe is from a small company I would question weather they will have records of the drill points 10 years from now for your safe. A locksmith will need this info to open a broken mechanisim. Most large safe companies can access this info by serial number for a locksmith. This may mean the difference between a $200 opening and some patch welding and paint job or destroying the safe and having to replace it alltogether. Some companies will replace a safe if it has been in a fire. Your insurance company may give you a break on some policies if you have a safe. They may offer a bigger discount if it is rated by a testing facility they recognise. [/QUOTE]
