    That's what I'm finding. Some of the low end safes have a good door, but 1/16th inch thick metal on the sides, could just about tear it open with a hammer.

    They dont even have a good door.Some safes have the same steel thickness that you find in gun cabinets.
    Usually it's the safe thickness for the sides and the door.s
    It's just folded to look thick and they add drywall inside the door for fire protection.

    With just a live bolt on the top and side of the door you can probably pry it open easily. :dunno:
    Also not sure it offers fire protection.


    Looks like 2 on top, 2 on bottom (you can see the seats), 1 on faced edge.

    I don't like the small dial on that one, but those old school are going to give more protection than a lot of the new stuff.

    Fire protection is a joke in most safes. 15-30 mins at 1300 degrees is next to nothing really.
