However, you also don’t want to spend exorbitant amounts of money. To get the most value for money when buying a gun safe, there are a few things you should consider.

A speciality store will also have installation services, which will enhance the overall security of your safe. A professional installation will also ensure that you get the most out of your gun safe for the years to come.
RATING
To ensure you get the best value for money, you can also consider the cash rating of a safe. This will determine the overall effectiveness of your safe. The rating system is often used for insurance purposes to see how much you are covered for. Essentially, a UL cash rating is a testing process that takes into account how long it would take a criminal to access the contents of the safe. The more difficult the safe is to penetrate, the better rating it has. This testing takes into account the material, the locking mechanism, the fixing capabilities, and its resistance to certain tools such as blowtorches and drills.
By researching the cash ratings of various safes, you will be able to determine its effectiveness, and therefore get the best possible value for money.
