I liked the idea of a modular safe, then I found out there weren't many out there at the time which offered high rated fireproofing and other security features found in traditional vault safes. Even disassembled, the components were heavy. You'd still need some help.

It would have to be some amazing safe for me to change my mind from wanting a Graffunder safe, I can tell you that much.

That’s because there’s a difference here:

What you have (a Graffunder) is a *safe*. Graffunder makes safes. Period. Plate steel welded into a box, filled with their fire insulation and so on. Very expensive, but they’re among the very best in the market, hands down.

What most “gun safes” are isn’t a “safe.” They’re a “RSC” - Residential Security Container. RSC’s are made from sheet metal, bent into a box-inside-a-box. Most RSC’s now no longer have a plate steel door, they have a door made of sheet metal bent and welded around fire insulation.

If someone is asking me on what *safe* to buy, I point them to American Security B&F rated safes, and Graffunder (in order of expense). If they just want a locking box with some fire protection, then we move into the realm of most “gun safes.”
