I'll put another vote in for http://www.safesrus.com for a dealer. I'm not in love with any particular brand. I looked at Cannon, Fort Knox and American Security...All seemed to be high quality safes and I can't say one was any better than the others. They all offer models with similar fire ratings but I think Fort Knox does claim the highest ratings available. I don't know if they've ever been tested independently to verify those claims.

FWIW, about four years ago there was a guy who posted photos of his burlarized home. I wish I could find them now but it was a series of photos showing the side of his high-end safe cut wide open like a sardine can. There were about three dozen sawzall blades and his own sawzall laying on the floor in the foreground of one photo. Tens of thousands of dollars of guns were gone.

My only regret after I bought my first safe was not buying a bigger one. Had I known how easy it was to move a 525lb safe, I'd have bought one at least twice as heavy. My first one also had an electronic lock that malfunction once. It locked me out, which would not have been good if I'd needed any of the important papers, equipment or guns stored in it at the time. So it's tumblers only for me on all future safes. I've purchased several safes since then and all have been over 1200lbs with tumbler locks.
