Watch out for the Stack on safes with the handle on the front, as the bolt on the inside has a habit of falling off, locking you out. As i have been told even the good safes have week points. Normally the back and bottoms are easily acessed with a crow bar, so when looking for a safe i would consider the thickness of the walls.

My Brother is a Locksmith who has a lot of certifictions in safes, and does a lot of safe work for commercial customers, aswell as the residential side. We talk about work fairly often
