Floor Safe Video with Dye the Safe Guy
Written by on June 14, 2010 – 5:25 pm -www.safeandvaultstore.com Hi Dye The Safe Guy here again with Safe and Vault Store.com Today were going to talk about floor safes. There are many types of floor safes. First thing you want to understand is the fact that floor safes can be used for gold. platinum, silver, coins, jewelry.We do not recommend floor safes for anything that you want to protect from fire. Floor safes do not have a fire proof rating, some have a fire resistant rating but in most cases when we drill out a floor safe, any paper or money thats inside turns to ash. Floor safes are installed in concrete or wood and should be installed by a general contractor. Door Types Floor safes have different types of doors. For example the least expensive ones have a removable door that has a latch right here and it hooks back here on the frame of the floor safe. The larger safes have a spring loaded door as you can see here with large oversize bolts. Drop Slots For business applications most floor safes can be ordered with an optional drop slot so you can drop cash in throughout the business day and then secure it incase or an armed robber.

Dear fst3v0: Yes, my name REALLY is Dye. If you go to Ireland or Wales, you will find it to be a common name. The root of the name is from Dwyer. My father named me his nickname for Dwyer. You take the “D”, “y” and the “e” out of Dwyer and sure and begorah you get “Dye”. I actually went to Ireland and there were lots of men named “Dye”. Here in the USA, it is very rare. Hey… at least it’s unique! Thanks for your inquiry. “Dye the Safe Guy”

That’s cool, thanks for the history too. I have a unique name as well, supposedly it’s french… but every frenchman raises his eyebrow when they hear it… Areé
I’m looking for a small safe that I can bolt inside my trunk, what kind might you suggest? What’s your opinion on the Simplex lock? Also the safe would be mainly for firearm storage during transit.
