Here's the advice I would offer based on experience.
1.Buy a safe that has external hinges on the door.Much easier to move.
2.Dont rely on silica gel packs for humidity protection.I use a Dri-Rod.Much better.
3.A good mechanical lock is vastly superior to a good electronic lock IMHO.
4.Bigger is better.
:-)
Southern Security Safes used to offer an excellent guide to purchasing a safe at their website.Find it and read it.It really helped me.
