I don't know about newer safes, but the older models were shipped empty on the sides and top. After they were set in place, they were then filled with metal rods and concrete poured between the walls.cloudcroft wrote: I have to admit that I don't understand a serious (higher-end with great protection/build-quality) safe having such a heavy door, heavy enough to cause the safe to tip forward...makes it sound like the body of such a safe is too lightweight then (non-serious, if you will).
Also, unless such a safe -- with a serious/heavy door -- is built-in somehow with protection (limit access to a criminal) to the other 3 sides AND the top, a criminal would just go through the sides/top. Yes, I realize that safes are built with the strongest part being the front (door) and the weakest being the other sides/top, but unless you limit someone's access to a safe to the front ONLY, that serious door isn't a whole lot of value.

But I think that ANY brand of safe would greatly benefit from an enclosure around it (preferably masonry) since the front/door is the strongest side.
....cured the tipping problem.
