Looking for a safe safe !

bubbles

Hardly a technology post - but I tought this would be the best place for it.

Bascially I am looking to buy a safe and am wondering if anyone out there would have any recommendations or indeed knowledge on them.

What I want is something around 4 foot squared and 100% fireproof with a combination lock....

Advice and information welcome!!!

Lucutus

http://www.locksmith.ie/ have a few up there that they sell.

Why would you need a safe? Those brothers of yours getting to you again? Keeping your GeForce 3 in it? Knackers can crack safes you know, it's a skill

Let us know how you get on, would be interesting to know the specs and the price of a safe.

No, its not the brothers Lucutus... thier still buried in the back garden

The reason why I want a safe (would have tought it was half obvious) is to keep some of my valuable items in!

Was doing a bit of surfing for safes, and there are bascially 3 types.

Your bog standard one
Fire resistant
And Data type ones.

Now the Data type one is the kind of one I'm interested in, as its so fireproof that computer data is fine in the case of a fire, apposed to a fire resistant one which will stop documents etc from burning - but CD's will melt.

Thing is the data Safes cost a fortune for a decent sized one. And are massive - they are really thick. I was looking at one - that was the size of a small fridge - but only had .3 cublic feet of space in it!!

All I want is a safe, that I can bolt to the floor in the house, and in case of fire, the CD's i want to protect won't melt.

I'd spend up to 1000 quid on a good safe - but because the data ones are so expensive - it could cost 1.5k ! And its not like you can share a safe with someone - unless you want to go halfs lucutus

My father has a safe room... totally fireproof, made out of poured massconcrete with an 8inch reinforced door. He also has a few small safes. Probably not selling them but I'll ask him anyway.

Just get an ordinary safe and wrap up your cd's in tinfoil!

We have quit a large one in work, I could get it for you, if you had it arranged that a crane would meet me at statoil. We'd have to remove the roof. But its worth it, has a time lock and everything

Try FBH Security in Dublin. There is also a safe company on Dame Street (Hegarty?)

Try people like Viking Direct - they might have low cost safes.

Ultimately any decision should be about balancing the cost of the safe with the likelyhood of loss of data and the cost of reconstructing that data.
