After looking at both the Prestige 33 and Lincoln 25 - my choice would be the Lincoln ,1k cheaper for basically the same gauge body steel and same warranty. The only difference I see is more fire resistant material in the Browning, by about 150lbs. Now the Lincoln 40 is a bit bigger for the same price, and would be a closer comparison, in that case I would go Browning for the aesthetics. Unfortunately for me I can’t get either one into my basement due to a sharp 90 degree turn, so I have to select a modular option. Nice video.

First of all, thank you for watching. I love hearing you break down and sort through your decision factors this way. When people learn about these safes and really make an informed choice it genuinely warms the heart, it means your planning for the future better. Being in Texas I don’t get a lot of chances to work with basement applications and learn more of them in general. I hate you can’t do what you want and genuinely wish I could be there to help get what you want in. Silly question, I know, but you have discussed with a local/nearby safe delivery company, yes? The equipment we have at our disposal these days mixed with the tricks we learn along the way make us dangerous. Hahaha. And id you’re not moving in the next 10 years…….might not hurt to take out that sharp 90 degree corner impeding your progress and rebuild it after installation of the safe.

I don’t know a ton about them since we don’t sell them, but we know about them from moving them or working on them for customers. It’s always the same answer, most over seas safes do not utilize continue welds and they use thinner gauge steel. For example I see the Cannon 64 is only 675lbs vs Liberty’s Fatboy JR (same measurements and fire rating), Liberty almost 100lbs more.That’s purely steel. I cannot recommend a safe way to move one down/up stairs if you’ve never done it. Honest to Odin, if it goes wrong it can go very wrong (i.e. extensive home remodel repairs, safe not functioning anymore, someone needing surgery or worse). In most any village I’ve found a nearby safe mover for folks who reached out.

I have always considered most Liberty models door weak because of their lack of plate steel in the door. In fact, with most Liberty safes just trying to find out how much steel is even in the door below the Presidential model or National series is a mystery. Several years ago, they came up with "Pry Stop Tabs" to help keep the pry attacks down but later came up with those "Military Style Bars" which was probably an improvement. However, if they would have just made the door using plate steel the way Fort Knox or American Security does, they could have avoided all of this.
@A1LocksmithofTexas

Very well said, thanks for dropping by. The steel content of their door is typically whatever thickness the body is constructed of plus a sheet of equal to or just less thickness. Kinda depends by model. A Presidential/Magnum is constructed of 7 gauge steel and then there’s a secondary layer of 1/4” behind that. As you go down like Lincoln & maybe Franklin have a 12 gauge liner. Then the next couple series like Colonial & USA are 2 pieces of 12 gauge stacked. Then after those in Freedom and Centurion have a 14 gauge plate in the center. Of course the National Security Classic Extreme 60 has a solid 3/8” steel plate door.

For years I have looked at Lib safes as top-of-the-line with the perk of all the added accessories that you can add. While I don't understand what they did and why, it's total BS. In addition to that, I think customers should make their own decisions as to where they put their hard-earned cash. One thing is for sure, I won't be getting a lib safe, even more so after reading their "damage control" press release. One simple question I have is, why not order a safe with a traditional mechanical lock, then as soon as possible have the local locksmith change the combo?? I get that in certain times of need you will want quick access. If that is such the case, why not get a 'hidden in plain sight' piece of furniture that is locked and provides quick access?!
@A1LocksmithofTexas

Thanks for watching. Customers definitely have several options for their safe shopping. And with safes you have many of options of locks, too. Changing to combo of a mechanical lock is a quick fix. Certain keypad locks have the ability to wipe them of any manufacture fail safes. Your idea of “hidden in plain site” tracks, too. After using a mechanical dial it becomes muscle memory and becomes fairly quick to access. It just depends on someone’s idea of “quick access” or their idea of a “self defense weapon” and how to store it. If it’s just a pistol perhaps a pistol vault would be more ideal. Thanks, again!

Next, insure the bolts, hinges squeaking, interiors, house flooring collapse, extra 30 minutes fire rating, etc. Sheesh. Knowing most safes will never be broken into or burned, this is pure gold money. I will insure your safe too. 😊. A thousand safes at 130 each for 130,000 dollars.

Fort Knox has always, always given a lifetime warranty on the locks they put on their safes, and the locks they install are Sargent and Greenleaf ( the best quality lock, bar none ), which is obviously a separate company, but none the less FN warranty's the S&G lock for life. And of course they have the same warranty as everybody else with fire and attempted break in. I have chosen Fort Knox 2 times. For their beauty and options but mainly for their fire resistance. They posted a fire test where the fire department was conducting a ' burn to learn' on a building, where they placed two safes. One a relatively inexpensive safe of an unnamed mfg. and one of their I think a ' Defender ' models. They put various items of the same nature in each safe and then told the fire dept. to set 'er on fire ( the building that is ). That fire got into 2000 degrees plus in temp. When it was all said and done the contents of the inexpensive safe were toast. However the contents of the Fort Knox survived pretty much unscathed. Another safe that does well in an extended burn down of the building it resided in is made by American Security, a brand I have taken a serious look at as well.

@@LWRC Actualky, the flat bars Liberty are using are less expensive, which allows them to not have to increase pricing and they’re definitely stronger. I try to show it in a lot of our videos how a 1” round bolt only makes contact at one point. The flat bar is touching completely, it has 12x the contact radius vs the 1” bolt. The first time I saw them test this was in 2018 at their facility, I think it was 2018, but it did very well. They laid the Colonial 23 on the concrete , welding angle iron around it and welded eye hooks to the door. Connected a hydraulic pull to it and this 500lbs safe made of 11g or 12 g steel with 3/16” flat bars for to 15,000lbs and still didn’t open. It was impressive.
