Opinions Vis-A-Vis Installing A Home Safe

TL-15 bolted to floor in a secure but also hidden location. Security should have several levels. 1- don't broadcast your possession 2- Secure in a appropriate safe. 3- Find a non-obvious location for this.

I store items in both SDB and home safe. Unfortunately a true TL-15 or similar safe costs serious money. Most of the consumer safes you see around are awful. Additionally, if you insure you items some policies require rated safe.

If you have collectibles you have to worry about humidity and such but less so for just pure bullion.

I would make darn sure installing it inside your (hopefully) climate controlled home is not possible before committing to the rough environment of your garage. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Garage is not best place for a safe. Would it be climate controlled with dehumidifier? What happens if you forget to close the garage door?

My safe is in the basement. It's not a thick metal expensive safe. But I also have door sensors and security cams around the perimeter of my house, several indoor cams turned on when I'm away from home overngiht. I have a firearm. I keep some coins at home, some at bank box. My thinking is keeping them in two places is better in case one has failure like fire, tornado, flood, burglary.

As already said do not tell people you keep valuables, coins at home. Loose lips sink ships as they say.
