I am getting ready to make a long needed purchase and bring home a safe. Looking around locally, I'm kind of down to 3 different models. 1. Browning (Theftgard) TG23F 2. Winchester (Mfg. by Granite Safes) WL6030 3. Fortress Safes (by Heritage Safes) Braun FB3060 As of right now, I can get the Theftgard and the Winchester for the same price $799. Both with electronic locks, 12/24 convertible interior, and 1200*F for 30 min. fire rating. The Fortress FB3060 also has electronic lock, 18/27 convertible interior, and 1200*F for 60 min. fire rating. Price on this one was just under $1100 and they said they would throw in an electric de-humidifier with it. All 3 have the textured finish. I'm kind of leaning towards the Fortress right now because of the fire rating, but I was just wondering if anyone else had any experience or advice on any of the 3 or other suggestions. |

If you live in a town near a fire department, the lower ratings would be fine. If you live way out where no one would notice your house is on fire for a while, get the highest fire rating you can. Saying that, get the biggest you can afford, cause if you're like me, it will fill up too fast. |
| I have the Winchester safe. its actually a 10/20. There's to way to fit in those last two a side. If there's a Sams Club near your, you can save some money. Mine was under $600 at Sams. $581 IIRC. I got some cheap lights that have the magnetic sensors, so when I open the door the safe lights up on the inside. |
