    How do you know what size the opening is when searching online? I’ve read reviews that say a safe had the right internal dimensions to store a laptop but the door opening wasn’t wide enough to put a laptop in because the door is so thick and blocks some of the opening.

    In North America garages and basement storage rooms can get quite cold in the winter (below 0 celcius), will the locks freeze preventing the floor safe from opening?

    What European ratings are equivalent to TL-15 and TL-30? An recommendations for small/medium size TL-15 and TL-30 burglary safe with at least 60 minute fire rating? I will be storing guns, jewelry, cash total value around $35,000.00. Need space for several watch rolls, a few hand guns, and legal,size documents.

    The Hollon safes are not ETL or UL Class 350 certified. The 2 hour fire rating is based on tests done by the safe manufacturer. No independent testing.

    This is very informative and I appreciate it… however, is there any certain brand that is better than others? I’m just looking for a smaller, non-electronic combo safe with water and fire ratings (maybe burglary if possible).. reviews are so mixed and it’s difficult to decide-I just don’t want to buy something that’s going to break with my stuff in it. Lol.

    1:47 Unless the smaller safes are bolted to the floor and/or wall, can't someone just take the whole safe with them so they can have unlimited time to break into the it? Even the TL-15 you show @3:00 would need to weigh 300 lbs. to make sure a couple of men can't carry it away. I still don't know what safe Is best.

      Even smaller safes are really heavy. Unless you get a really cheap one. I mean lifting a 200 pound safe is not an easy task. All safes can be broken into its just a matter of time and what your goal is for the safe. Average person is not going to take the safe.
