imanangel0686 Valued Member United States 270 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 2:24 pm I am moving soon and I really want to get a large safe for home to keep all of my collection safe from theft and fire and all of that. Does anyone have any suggestions on what size is typically a good size to use? I know everyone's collection is a little different, but I'm just looking for a general idea of where to start looking. Also is there any brand that anyone prefers? Any kind of advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 2:29 pm I like Sentry brand myself. As for size? Find the size you think you need and then go 2 sizes bigger. If you are like me your collection grows at a steady rate. Report this Post to the Staff
COINAHOLIC Rest in Peace United States 1501 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 2:52 pm Tim is exactly right! Get the largest one you can afford/fit in your situation. It will fill fast, and then you will have to decide who is precious enough to "live" inside and who remains on the shelf. Mine is too small. Report this Post to the Staff

Just a bit of advise in your case.Be sure that someone else in your family knows where they are in case something happens to you,God forbid.My Father did the same with his collection and it took a couple of years to find it all because he didn't leave any info.

fcrazo Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 04/04/2010 2:29 pm Consider a metal upright gun safe, gut it and install shelving. Some of the larger safes might require strengthening the floor in order to support the concentrated weight. Report this Post to the Staff
AMFCook Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 04/04/2010 7:12 pm Sentry safes are great. Try and look for one rated to withstand heat temperatures of atleast 2500 F. Report this Post to the Staff
