Gun Safes; Need a Fireproof Gun Safe?

Gun Safes; Need a Fireproof Gun Safe? Well first things first. The term Fireproofâ€ in the world of safes and gun safes is a misnomer. Fireproof actually does not exist as anything will burn if you burn it hot enough and long enough. When looking for a safe or gun safe, you are actually looking for a safe that is fire resistant. This opens up the discussion of how much fire protection do you need. The average metropolitan house fire in the United States is 1100-1200 degrees for about 27-30 minutes. With this in mind, understand that average means some fires are out in 5 minutes and some are out in 1 hour. Without proper protection a 1 hour fire will leave you renting salt shakersâ€ as nothing you owned will be left in your home. When looking for the best gun safe to suit your needs, first determine the value of the items to go inside your safe. In many homes the list of items that will go into a gun safe goes far beyond just guns. Items like cameras, cash, jewelry, coins, important documents, family memorabilia and the list goes on and on. **End Summary** Topics: Gun Safes Gun safe Liberty Safe Safe fire safe Home safe]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> www.WestCoastSafes.com www.WcLiberty.com www.SafeAccessories.com

Gun Safe Accessories; Dehumidifier why you need one! Youve taken the financial plunge and have finally invested in a gun safe to give you that piece of mind you are looking for but are there options for your safe that your local safe retailer has not told you about ? Or worse yet did you purchase your safe at a box store and had no idea that you need some sort of dehumidification device. Dehumidification; you can achieve this with an electric dehumidifying rod or a silica gel pack. But why do you need these? Whenever you have an installed box, like a safe, the air inside the box does not circulate. When the air becomes stagnate it settles and the moisture particles that were in the air settle on your paper work, firearms, jewelry, etc etc. This moisture build up causes rust, mold, mildew. How do they work? Electronic dehumidifiers , heat up to the touch and in turn this heat creates a slight circulation of air in the safe, this circulation does not let the moisture particles settle but rather keeps them suspended in the air inside the safe. **End Summary** Topics: Gun safe Gun safes Liberty safe dehumidifer]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> www.WestCoastSafes.com www.WcLiberty.com www.Safeaccessories.com
