Floor Safes model FS-B4

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Floor Safes model FS-B4 is the largest in B Rated Floor Safes in this line of steel safes.  Extremely strong with 1/4 steel body and a massive thick steel door with drill resistant hardplate.  Same quality workmanship goes into this floor safe as the other floor safes models FS-B1 and FS-B2. 

The door is spring loaded for easy access.  Just dial the combination, turn the handle, and Voila’ the door pops up and open.  Much easier than removing the entire door to get to the safe on the smaller non-spring loaded hinge models.

There is a sort of down side to this unit.  That is the length is 24 inches! Which is huge and you will need a long arm to reach the back of the safe model.  Also can leed to confusion once this safe starts getting full.  Best to figure out a way to organize this safe so you don’t have to empty the safe just reach something in the far back corner.   But on the bright side. If you are into installing floor safes…install a big one so you don’t out grow it.

Lock is Sargent and Greenleaf made in Kentucky.  One of the best combination locks on the market today. Exported around the world.  As a matter of fact this lock is exported to South Korea and put on the floor safes model.  Then re-imported to the USA. (sounds a bit crazy to me but it works) Also, we can set this safe combination to your desired combination numbers. Just fill out the comments section with the combo and we can set it at no extra charge.

Be sure to wrap this floor safe in a plastic bag before you pour concrete around it.  This will allow the safe to last longer, prevent rust, and keep her dry for years.  I normally use either a very thick “lawn and leaf” bag or a thick painters drop cloth wraped around the entire floor safe. 

Over all I give this floor safe a big thumbs up for quality and theft prevention.  This is a top notch model on the market today. 

One last item.  In case you are asking yourself if this is fireproof. It is not. However, it does get fireprotection from the concrete you pour around it. I am unaware of any “Fireproof” floor safes.  Because all the manufactures have designed the safe to be surrounded by concrete which is excellant protection against fire. You can see this model and other floor safes in our Floor Safes model section on Valuesafes.

Also be sure to read about our other floor safes models here in the blog. Just type in the model number and an article will pop up.

Floor Safe FS-B2

Monday, May 19th, 2008

The floor safes model FS-B2 is a larger version of the FS-B1.  Same top notch B rating with drill resistant hardplate. Spring loaded relocker to protect against proffesional theft attacks.  Sargent & Greenleaf dial combination made in Kentucky which is designed to last the life of the safe.  1/2 inch steel door with (3) 3/4 inch bolts to keep the door from being pryed opened. 

The body is 1/4 inch steel designed to protect your safe from shifting in the foundation or underground.  (Be sure to wrap the safe in plastic before concreting into the foundation.  This adds years of life to the steel and keeps out rust. )

Hinges are also spring loaded for ease of opening and closing the safe door.  Because these doors on floor safes with all the steel in them and the hardplate gets very heavy.  In my opinion its worth the extra money to get a floor safe with a spring loaded hinge. 

I get a lot of people calling me and asking which floor safe I would choose if I were putting into my house.  I don’t always answer very directly. But I do give strong suggestions to that if you are going to the trouble of installing a floor safe (and is more trouble to install then other types of Safes) make sure to get a B rated Floor Safe.  Larger than what you think you will need because people always fill them up over time or before they go on a vacation…and you don’t want to have to install two of these.  Also get one with a door that has spring loaded hinges so it is easy to get in and out of….this way you will use it.  NO KEYPADS on FLOOR SAFES!  Too many problems come from keypads on floor safes.
