Safe: Schwab Data Bank/ Wright Line
Can anyone tell me anything about this safe? Any guess what one of these is worth?
Any reason I shouldn't use this to store firearms in? Would only take a minor redesign inside to suit a bunch of guns. The electric combo works and I bought it cheaper than dirt, outside dimensions are 83x61x36, I'm guessing the weight to be 4,000lbs or more. I picked it up sight unseen for $100.00.
Thanks Rufe, good idea. I just got off the phone with my lock guy and he wants to buy it off of me[:)]. He stated the lock type I have is pretty reliable, he also helped me over the phone change the access code to something I can remember. He told me beings it is a media safe it has a longer burn rating at an even lower temperature than a conventional fire safe. He couldn't believe I scored it for $100.00 (neither could I to be truthful). Thanks again for the idea of calling my lock guy, helped a lot.

Check with a locksmith who is knowledgeable about those electro dials. Sometimes deals that look to good to be true, really turn out that way. Hate to see you with a safe full of guns you can't get at. 0 -
Jeepflexin...looks like a great safe! One problem you might have (and I notice that you, too, are from DE) that I have is humidity within my safes. Be sure that you don't put it on the bare concrete but on some sort of a platform and get some good humidity fighters for the inside. Great way to rust guns up is to completely enclose them w/o dealing with the humidity issue. I have tried a small light bulb which works well as does the little golden rod. Some of my friends use the boxes of pellets that you take out from time to time and heat up in the stove to get the moisture out. Whatever works is great but you must use something or a combo of "somethings" or you will end up with a safe full of "rustbuckets." I lost several good Tula SKS's to learn the lesson the hard way! Looks like you got a great buy and that safe is larger than my 55 gun Liberty! Good eye! Now if we can just get this darn snow to go away from our little "Diamond State!" 0 -
