I did a lot of research on safes and there is actually a couple companies here in oklahoma that make safes that are very nice but in the end i liked the flash of the liberty safe and the warranty is very good. Is there better safes than the one i picked... i'm sure of it. Did i find a safe that i love and can't stop staring at.. of course! I bought the biggest and best that i could afford. If i ever built a new house i might think about a under the floor safe. or some sort of hidden room, i always wanted to pull a book and open a bookshelf door. lol
@rossignol, they have the lincoln safe that has 90 minutes of fire protection and non shiny paint for about 3 grand that's what i was looking at getting. look around your area for a company that builds safes and tour their facility.
