Format Gun Safe Review
Format gun safes are some of the least expensive around. A Format gun safe is not made cheaply, and may be one of the biggest bang for your buck safes on the market. There are a few things you will want to know about them before you purchase, though, so you will want to read this Format gun safe review.
Many of the Format gun safes will come with holes pre drilled into the back of your safe. These are there so that you can attach the safe to a wall. Some like it in a closet, and others prefer to keep it out of the way in the basement. If you are going to keep it out in an open room, it is best if you attach it to a corner. By putting it into a corner, it will be more difficult for a thief to pry it off the wall. You will also need to screw it to the wall because of the heavy doors.
On some models, the doors are one third of the total weight of the Format gun safe. When the door is open, if it is not attached to the wall, you could be risking the door tipping the gun safe over. It is a good thing that the door is so heavy, though, as it means it will shut more securely. A determined and skilled thief will likely still be able to get in, but most common criminals won’t be able to crack it. You will need to understand the organization of the interior of the safe. Some safes may look like they are made for rifles, because they are tall. However, if they are lined with shelves on the inside, no rifle will fit. Some safes will have a padded interior with slots to hang your rifles on. Others will be as bare inside as a high school gym locker. Even if you get one with a good organization system, many prefer to buy their own organization systems, rifle racks and pistol holders or pistol cases. When you buy online, you may find a selection of ready to assemble
Format gun safes.
These are do it yourself safes. They will come in flat pieces of metal with all of the hardware and instructions on how to assemble. There are advantages and disadvantages to this. Obviously a disadvantage is the fact that you have to do it yourself. Another disadvantage is that flat pieces of metal are often more prone to being dented and damaged when shipped, as you will read about in many Stack On gun safe reviews. Make sure that the company that you buy from does not charge for return shipping. The advantage is that you can assemble it where ever you want. Carrying a 100 pound Stack On gun safe, fully assembled, up to your bedroom will be tricky to do. Carrying up the walls, then the door, then the top bottom and hardware will be much simpler. Finally, you should know that Format gun safes are notoriously made in China designed in Germany. However, you should also know that roughly 85% of all gun safes sold in America are made in China, so you shouldn’t hold this against Format just because it is well known about them.
