I'm in the market for a new safe, and would like to pick up one of the "64 gun" size safes to protect for future expansion (I'm aware that's just a marketing number). Most of the safes of this approximate size seem to be pretty standard at 40"W X 24"D, with a few over-sized ones up to 44"W and 27"D, or some combination in between.
Unfortunately, the space that I have for this safe can only accommodate up to 39.5" in width, and in order to get into position, the safe has to pass through a door that is 23.5" wide, with the door removed. This is the only good place I really have for a safe like this, so I'm trying to figure out a way to make it work, preferably without pulling down drywall or removing door frames.
So this is my quandry: Where can I find a decent safe about the same size as the "64 gun" 40"W X 24"D ones, but measuring an inch less in both dimensions, at 39"W X 23"D? Additionally, I don't have thousands to drop on this, so I need to find something under $1000. I'm not particularly brand-sensitive as long as it's not a piece of trash.
