Home Safe (Vanity)

I am trying to buy a good home safe. My wife wants a combination lock and I want a key-board (push button) safe. Does anyone know of any advantage of one over the other? Also,what is the best brand.

Sorry for the vanity but I am desperate to get away from the banks.

You can store your valuables at my place. No charge.

First, don’t shop when you’re drunk.........

Looking at the post title, I’m thinking you may be better off with a key lock ;)

Get one with a S&G combo lock, they last forever.

I would suspect that an electronic keypad would be vulnerable to some of the same risks as our electronic banking system, like an EMP or CME (solar coronal mass ejection) frying the circuits.

For valuables I would go with combination floor safe. For hand gun I would go with push button safe.

Little story about keypad lock safes. Was on our way to Arkansas and stopped at a Comfort Inn. Apparently you had to pay extra to use the safe which we didn’t. Went to get dinner and came back and all our valuables were put in the safe. I asked Hubby how did you do that? He said....look at it.
All you had to do was look at the keypad and could tell which numbers were always pushed. rofl

Here ya go Lima. Slings and Arrors just provided a link to all you should ever need to know about Asfes!

Most electronic locking safes also have a key override.
Best of both worlds.

Not big enough.

We had an combination dial on our Heritage safe. The combo dial was very picky. As time went on, it got even pickier. We changed it to an electronic push-button and are very happy with it. When you stand there for 20 minutes turning that dial and it won't open, you'll regret the dial.

I would suggest also studying a bit on where you place the safe in your house as well. I would suggest something like a false wall in the back of a coat closet, laundry room, hidden place between floors, etc. Thieves will go to three places to look for valuables; master bedroom, home office, kitchen drawers ( for keys.)Generally, they will be in and out in under 10 minutes.
