I believe in bolts and studs. Shelves and overhangs. Hiding in plain sight and hiding in a busy room. The shear mass of items attached together...
A good cheap safe is easy to find.
Harbor Freight sells some pretty cheap stuff.
Seriously, the insides are functional, new, and I plan on replacing the batteries every winter, routine type stuff.
I will simply remove a couple of screws and inspect the workings and life should be just fine. I have a key backup and I saved a few bucks.
If I need to upgrade their crap, it just gives me something to do. I can make it better...I have the technology...a welder and a hammer.
I had a Stack-on keyed box but returned it, didn't like the idea of playing with keys.
Surprisingly, to me at least, HF had a Gun-Vault safe on their shelf. It was the smaller unit and was designed for horizontal mounting. Seemed like a nicely built unit. The door sprung open crisply. I almost bought it, I still might buy one. Just a larger size.
In the mean time I'll rely on my reconditioned Chevy, er, ah, my quality Chinese cheap box, er my; whatever.
