Consider your present needs as well as your future needs. We are often told by customers that they don't have anything to put in a safe. Then after they purchase a safe they say they did not purchase a safe that is large enough. Carefully consider the value of the contents you wish to place in the safe as well as the problems you may incur if the contents are lost by either forced entry or loss due to fire. Do your homework. Carefully list what you wish to store in the safe. Try to estimate the number of cubic feet needed. But remember… When it comes to investing in a safe… Bigger and Stronger is always Better!
