    Do you have a safe at home?

    I'm going to need one.

    I don't want a key. You have to know where the key is at all times.

    I might like a mechanical safe. Thoughts and recommendations welcome.

    I have some questions about biometric safes. What if the battery dies? Could a thief reach the battery and disable it? One of these might be convenient but I don't know how it works.

    Thanks.

      Yes. Small, three turns of a dial type, fire rated.

      Nothing wrong with a quality double-lock gun cabinet; get good practical storage size, but yes, keys have to be kept discretely separate.

      Checking last year I found nearly all safes are now electronic with digital keypad. Mechanicals were special order.
      N.B. safes are incredibly heavy and you get a tiny storage space. Ours is 12x12x10 inches inside and yet I can barely move it.
      Safes also become very costly as size increases.
