On those cheaper safes the fire rating is what matters the most and their warranty. Any safe under about 5k thieves will be able to break into pretty quickly so it is mainly for fire. Wasatch gun safes are designed to provide secure storage for firearms and valuables.
My family member is an employee at the bjs store in johnson city ny, he advised me he just marked safes down half off and had 11 of them left. In contrast the wasatch 24egw has 2.0 mm walls. This safe is heavy af.
Was it helpful to you? Fortress safe's heritage 24essh has 2.5 mm walls (somewhere between 13 and 12 ga.), has a 75 minute fire rating, and weighs 464 lbs. I like it much better than my old safe that was smaller and manual. They typically boast a solid steel construction, a fire rating, and a digital lock.
We figure it's time to get a larger safe, and saw this one currently on sale at bjs: I bought one at dicks in texas last week and got them to price match it to bjs in the store.
