Snapsafe

Saw them mentioned in American Rifleman. Do not know anything about their stuff, only modular safes I have heard of.

A few years ago, I purchased a modular SnapSafe (Titan model). It weighs a total of 310 lbs., with the door alone tipping the scales at 195 lbs. It is located down in the basement and sits on a concrete floor. Very easy to assemble. You might want to check out the SnapSafe website to see if they have heavier models to fit your needs. They were very easy to deal with, both by phone and email. So, regarding customer service, I’d give them an “A.” As for fire proofing and flood resistance, thank G*d, I can’t vouch for those features.

No experience with modular safes, here, but don’t depend on weight alone to secure your safe! What can be carried in can be carried carried out.

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.

Mine's a 2½-ton Cannon T65, but you'd have to build the house around it.

Don’t know about modular safes, but until I lost all my firearms in that boating accident, I kept them in a Liberty Safe (http://www.libertysafe.com/) which weighs about 500 pounds.

No deconstruction of the house was required and I’ve installed it two houses. Fits through standard doorways without any problem. At my current house, the movers were able to put it on a dolly and roll it in into a closet.

The retailers for safes have all kinds of equipment to get a safe into a house, including gadgets that “walk” a safe up or down stairs.

I wonder if it’s possible to just buy a door, and build the safe cabinet in place from (say) reinforced concrete.
