Hi, all ..
Sorry for the long post, but I'm trying to find a medium size, non-
electronic safe for storing documents, titles, family keepsakes,
cash, coins, gold nuggets (I wish), diamonds (I wish), that sort of
stuff. I don't need a five footer; no rifles or shotguns that I
need to store (I keep mine under the bed; no kids).
My present safe is a mechanical dial-turning thingy (Sentry) with a
special round key for the handle. The safe is bolted to the
concrete foundation. I'm happy with it, but it's too small.
I've looked around on the Web for quite a while, with not much success.
My research tells me that it's not hard to break into an
electronic safe, even for a novice with just a screwdriver and a piece of
wire.
The safe will be in a corner, so it will be hard to get to the back of it
without breaking through a plaster wall. So the
screwdriver/wire thing with an electronic safe may be a little more
difficult. But I just want a spin dial, old-fashioned safe.
I've worked in defense companies with classified info for many a year,
and the mechanical safe approach was good enough for the DoD.
Why not me?

Good spam filters at Kendra, BTW, and Xnews uses news.1dial.com server,
whatever that is.
Should I just start dodging now? 8-) grin
