Hi, Dye the Safe Guy here, manager of Safe & Vault Store.com. Today we're going to talk about the Lagard Basic II Digital Electronic Lock. Many of our safe manufacturers use this very popular lock, manufactured in Lexington, Kentucky. It's one of the staples of the digital electronic lock business.

This is a fantastic video about how a safe can manage to be both incredibly inaccessible and very accessible at the same time – depending if you are trying to break into the safe or if you have a code at the ready. It really helped demystify the safe as a security method for me. Did you know that safes are made of steel, concrete, and Diatomaceous Earth? Do you understand how the locking mechanism of a safe works? You will after watching this video.

Hi, Dye the Safe Guy here, manager of Safe & Vault Store.com to talk today about why is composite concrete material better overall for burglar and fire protection then drywall material. Right here you will see a display showing two different safe constructions out there today. I'm talking about burglar fire safes, I'm talking about gun safes. All kinds of safes. Many gun safes and burglar fire safes use two layers of steel, the inner and outer layers. And for the fire protection inside they use drywall. Regular drywall that goes up in a home or a commercial building.

One common question we get here at Safe & Vault Store is: What type of people need to buy a gun locker? It’s not as if everybody that owns a gun has more than one or two. In a way, this is very much true. The people who require a gun locker are those who own multiple weapons. But the number of people who fall into this category is much larger than you might think.

Hi, Dye the Safe Guy here, Dye Hawley manger of Safe & Vault Store.com. We are here today to talk about the Liberty HDX-250. The HDX-250 is a biometric pistol and gun safe. It will hold up to 2 handguns along with ammo and clips. The dimensions are 7" tall, 11" wide and 12" deep. This safe was formally made by 9G Industries out of Kansas. This is 100% USA product. Liberty bought them out awhile back and they've really gone out and improved this product. It has a very attractive powder coating finish.

When it comes to gun safes, it’s all about construction. Indeed, what the safe is made of and how it is all put together should be one of the first things you look at. Many safes appear safe, giving the illusion of impenetrability. However, while this does deter some people, such as amateur burglars just looking for a quick buck, the simple look of security does not do the trick. So when you are looking for the perfect gun safe, be sure to follow these steps while you’re narrowing down the big boys from the lightweights.  

The faltering world economy has done a lot to change the world—it's now tougher to find jobs, apartments and homes are more difficult to afford and homes are now harder to finance. Many students are opting to stay in school for longer and in turn are taking out more and more student debt. The world is a vastly different place than it was 5 or 10 years ago. 

You may or may not believe it, but gun safes are not as impenetrable as they may seem. Yes, they may stop robbers from getting to your weapons or important documents. They may stop fires right in their tracks. They might even be able to keep moths from eating everything. But there is one type of invader which they cannot stop: an extremely small one which can squeeze into the tiniest of spaces.
