Cannon Gun safe model P-14 is part of the Patriot gun safe import line.  Before I go too far, there are several manufactures that have a safe called Patriot.  Make sure when you are discussing the Cannon Patriot don’t get it confused with any of the other Patriot named safes out there.  They are different.  These are made with loving care by our dear friends in China.  However, ONLY Cannon Gun Safes come with a lifetime warrenty against fire AND BURGLARY!!!!!!!  Nobody else offers such an extensive warrenty in the industry…NOBODY!

China may start the manufacturing process but most gun safe manufactures like to finish out thier gun safes here in the USA.  Cannon installs a higher grade interior than other companies with fully lined adjustable interior for those of you that want to purchase a gun safe for other than keeping guns. 

Did you know that this series comes with multiple relockers?  These are added to help support the bolt work system in the event an attack.  (Most gun safes only come with one that is inside the dial or keypad lock) So this is an added benifit

Also comes with hardplate….hmmm, I can hear some of you asking “What the heck is hardplate?”  Well, hardplate is a super heated super refined steel plate that is resistant to drilling.  It needs to be melted.  Which means the thief will need to bring his blow torch with him if he’s going through the lock and door.  I personally don’t know of many thiefs that have entered into a house with a blow torch..so I think hardplate is there to make it difficult on the locksmith to gain entry to the safe but I could be wrong. 

When I show up onto a gun safe that has had a burglar attempt to break into it.  Crowbars and hammers are what is normally used.  Though I was in a McDonald’s once where the theif used a metal mop bucket to beat off the dial.  No, the thief never made it into the safe.  But that is beside the point.  One inch locking bolts going on all sides of the door keep it from being crowbared open within the normal time range of a burglary.

This Cannon gun safe is not extra fancy but it is nicely built and with a warrenty you can’t beat.

  • Fully adjustable design
  • Upholstered finished shelving
  • Upholstered inside walls
  • Fire-resistant—lined with 5/8” fire insulation
  • Massive 1″ steel composite
  • SureFire multiple re-lockers
  • Mechanical Group 2 lock with
    key-locking dial
  • Triple fin intumescent cold smoke expandable seal that expands many times its size when exposed to heat
  • 1″ active locking bolts
  • Extra-hard, 60+ RC hard-plate
  • Truelock internal hinges

High Security Wall Safe model WS6B is one of the top notch wall safes on the market. B rated with drill resistant hardplate. (Hardplate has to be melted and is placed over the lock on the inside of the safe).  Thick 1/4 inch steel walls and back plate. Designed to hold up against crow bar and sledge hammer attacks. 

Note the 3 holes on the side for mounting to studs or some folks even concrete this wall safe into place.  Its important to point out that this safe will hold up but you better make sure to find a good hiding place anyway.  Also, it will only be as secure as the wall you mount it too.

Also includes one of my favorite, made in Kentucky, Group II, Sargent & Greenleaf, dial combination locks.

Non Fireproof but high on security gives this model a thumbs up for best wall safe on the market.  I’ve seen this sell for as much as $750 but I saw it the other day on www.ValueSafes.com for sale at $499. and that included shipping. Check out their Wall Safes.

Below is an excerpt from my dear friend Jason Hommel and his newsletter “The Silver Stock Report” I don’t share all his opinions but I found the warnings against banks intresting.  I really like the idea of everybody buying SAFES! Hahahaa…. If you would like to sign up to get his free news letter just follow the link above.   As a side note, I like his faith and he has been right for several years in regards to the prices of silver.  Kinda intresting if you are into coin collecting or the Christian Faith.

Some think Matt 6:19 means that we, as Christians, can’t store money for the future, despite other clear verses that show that to be a virtue, such as Matthew 25, Dueteronomy 28:8, Proverbs 21:20, Proverbs 6:6-8, and Proverbs 30:24-45.

It is good to store up money to further the gospel kingdom; as ministry and service costs money. 

Jesus also warns against storing money in a location where thieves are known to break in and steal–this would include banks, which are institutions of theft.  Banks are the modern day “money lenders” in the Temple whose tables Jesus overturned, the modern thieves, because they only keep a fraction of deposits on hand.  The Federal Reserve is stealing value from people who hold paper money or bonds in banks through inflation.  (Hint: Do not store your precious metals in a safety deposit box in a bank.  Why store it in the viper’s den, where theives are known to break in and steal, or where laws can change and they can assess or tax or steal the contents of such a box in the future?)

Buying gold or silver is a way to store up treasures in heaven, since buying gold is an act of righteousness and obedience and dominion, and is a rejection of false weights and measures, and is a rejection of usury.  Neither moth nor rust affect silver and gold. 

Here is another often misunderstood verse:

Matthew 6:24  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Some think this means that Christians should live in poverty.  Not so.  There were rich disciples.

Matthew 27:57 When the evening was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

Christians are called to be able to relieve the poverty of others, and that takes wealth.  How can you have extra to give to others, unless you have extra to give, or more than enough for yourself?  (2 Corinthians 8 speaks on this, the giving of one’s abundance, or surplus.) 

The whole point of free trade and capitalism is to be able to trade away the surplus of your production.  Matt 6:1-4 is about giving alms for the poor.  I believe that to “serve mammon, or money” means making money your master instead of making God your master.  We are called to master our money, to make our money serve us, instead, and take dominion, once again.

I believe Matt 6:24 is warning about how you must have a right view of money; that the wrong view puts money in front of God, the right view puts God first, us second, and money third. 

Furthermore, consider those who are in debt.  All who are in debt are serving a different master, they are serving their present and past selves as they seek to repay the money they borrowed and spent in the past, rather than serve the God of the past, present and future, and they enslave their future selves as they go into debt.

And how can you give to others while you are in debt?  To do so means that you take away from what is due to your lender.

Proverbs 22:7  The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

1 Corinthians 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

 Rated Safes model by Hayman DV-2720.  This is the largest B-rated safe that Hayman Safe sells.  Comes with a Group II dial lock Lagard 3330.  Which is a top rated lock for fireproof safes.  I have included an external picture of the safe below. 

When you look at the safe you will notice there are no hinges on the outside.   Just a strip of stainless steal where they should be located.  This Safe has an internal hinge or hinge bar is a better word to use.  Which locks into place behind the right wall of the safe.  This is much better than having bolts and a hinge lock it into place. 

Some people are concerned about external hinges on some safe models.  They think a thief can grind off the hinge and get into the safe.  Well, thats not how a thief breaks into the safe.  But if they did the internal bolts on the hinge side would prevent them from opening the safe.  That is on a normal internal hinge.  However, this internal hinge is different.  It has a full length locking bar built into the hinge.  Which is a top of the line setup for a safe.  I prefer this method above all others. 

In my opinion, Hayman Safe is one, if not the, top designers of safes in the US.  You will always get more for your money when you purchase Hayman then you would with a comparative model made by someone else.  No, I don’t work for Hayman Safe but they are available on www.ValueSafes.com Great prices and great service. 

Be sure to read our other postings in B Rated Safes.  Because I included general information that has to do with all the safes in this line up.  I just don’t include it here because I hate to be repetitive.

One of the things I have noticed is when it comes to safes, the B rated Safes are the neglected category of safes.  Nobody is out there searching for these types of safes.  I think its just a lack of education in the market place.  We locksmiths, as a group, are a lot like magicians.  Pretty tight lipped when it comes to talking.  We really don’t do much selling and only answer questions when someone shows a real interest.  However, IF a real interest is shown,  we also have tendency to ramble until our customers eyes roll back in their heads!  Leaving them wishing they would have NEVER asked!  (This is my sin…and confession is good for the soul they say..)

Lets take a look at the model DV2117 from Hayman Safe.  It’s rating is UL listed 1 1/2 fireproof safe.  UL is important here because you may be comparing this model with an SB-02c from Cobalt which is rated as a 2 hour fireproof safe.  You read it and think Wow, its two hours! That’s gotta be better than 1 1/2 hours….right?!?  Ahhhh, slow down grasshopper and let us look at this more closely. 

The two hour fireproof safe is not UL listed. But only “factory tested”…which is good.  But what does factory tested mean?  (I’m using the SB-02c as a hypothetical subject to compare against) The Sb-02c is put in a furnace with propane torches hitting it on all sides.  They turn up the heat to 1700 degrees for two hours.  Then turn it off and check inside temp to make sure it didn’t go above 350 degrees inside and charr the paper.  Well, maybe it charred it just a little…thats good enough for the factory and great for advertising! 

However, the same test at UL and it would be knocked down to the lower category and retested.  They also test with high quality testing equipment where the factory just throws it in the oven and sets the temperature at 1700 degrees and bake for 2 hours. Now then its important to point out what the fire department tells us about fire.  Which is a normal home or office burns at only 950 degrees…relatively cool when compared to 1700+ degrees. (not that I want to be in either situation)  So both safes have darn good protection. 

Hmmm. This should give you some food for thought. Personally, I would buy the B rated over the SB-02c because I know without a doubt what it will do in regards to fire.  Now in regards to burglary.

This is a UL Test B Rated safe.  Which means these guys have pulled out the tools and  crowbars etc.  and have scientifically beat the living snot out it!  They have also drilled on it, hammered, pry-ed to their hearts content AND it still held up.  Gotta love that.  Where the SB-02c has not been through this rigorous testing.  The factory only looked at it and designed it to hold up to similar attacks that UL performed on the B rated safe.  They may have even taken a crow bar and tools to it on the back driveway to see if it holds up.  “It did, GREAT lets call it a fire and burglary safe!”  Not very scientific but at least they did something to test this model.

You should now have a good feeling about why you would want a UL listed fire and B rated safe.  Take a look at the other postings on b rated safes to get a good idea of how this safe is made.  It is basically a medium size safe, with a wall bolt locking mechanisim and two holes in the bottom to secure it to the floor for total protection.  Take a look at one at www.ValueSafes.com for more size deminsions and details of price.
