!±8± Why Buy American Made Gun Safes?

It went to China

In 1990, many U.S. companies have their gun cabinet facing towards the Far East in order to reduce production costs, and today at least 75% of all gun cabinets are made in China. There was a change that improves the bottom lines of these producers, but one that inevitably reduces the quality of what is offered on the market, because in addition to savings of cheap labor, there were also cost savings in materials and design.

At first glance the two, aGun Safes American and a Chinese, you could not see or know the difference between them and the difference is not small, so that here we define the most important factors to ensure a better quality of American Made Gun Safe:

Quality Steel

On the basis of many internal parts of the body is everywhere in a steel safe. The vast majority of steel used to build safer in China 25% to 35% of American Steel Made softer, weaker, and if the steel used to build the body,more permeable, safe exercises and other special tools. The same principle applies to any other part of a steel safe, just not in their function in difficult conditions, which weapon is made safe.

Fireboard

One of the dangers latent in every closets of the house, the fire and the gun should provide adequate fire protection, to protect the weapons, but also important documents, mementos and jewelry. The most important element to insulate againstFire in almost every cabinet gun fire on board (or drywall) layers, and what is known, the Chinese drywall and low quality, as recent events have shown, brings about some health problems. American Made Fire Board is a quality much larger and contributes directly to a fire resistance of a higher standard.

Body

Here we are referring to the six sides of the body outside of a safe. The most important consideration is how the six sides brought together to meet the body. ChineseManufacturers have a strong tendency to pay off all or most of which is six pages together, then grind the welds on aesthetic considerations, but it weakens the body, because what is a thin layer even thinner at the edges, ie where what you get. In contrast, most American producers to create the body of "bend" a piece of steel, as opposed to "Welding" separate pieces, so that what is initially a steel plate along with four (4) sided cube for which port, andput this back as a "uni-body construction," and makes sure gun much more difficult.

Framing, re-lockers and drive plates

The bolt mechanism is locked, the door handles to the body of the vault, which is composed of several elements, which are made of steel. As already mentioned, is much softer steel products in China, and considering the fact that their framework is to add too thin, you have the right combination for opening bat with a little 'experience to the turn of crackDrill a hole in the door and slide the bolt mechanism with a strike to ensure overwhelming.

Re-lock mechanisms that lock the safe have again confirmed during an attack of burglary when the lock is attached to the safe. For a punch and drill re-lock is usually an additional steel bolts to ensure greater and, if cheaply made smaller or less important, it protects the lock for a long time, because it has drilled only once beaten.

Plates are layers of hard metalpositioned in front of the block to protect it, and if they are thin or if there are not enough layers, as usually happens with China is manufacturing, not to his long-desired effect. When it comes to framing plates, and hard re-lock, the label "Made in USA" in terms of much better quality means the site.

Guarantee

All manufacturers claim that security offer the best warranty in the market. In short, this is not the case, lower cabinets weapons, the same type of guarantee as a topQuality gun cabinets. We are not here to dwell in detail, but it is necessary for a true "lifetime warranty" that compensation for damage free shipping safe theft or fire (or natural disasters) is to ask. Read the letters and ask your specialist for the safety limit of guarantee. In general, "American Made" will have a much better warranty.

Investment for Life

If I take my gun safe I only studied the "American Made". Of course budget is alwaysimportant and a weapon is produced safely in the United States tend to be expensive. But two thoughts come to mind. First, a gun is a safe investment for life, and not worth it, cheap to buy and then replace, especially when heavy items are not transported to the easy in and out of a house. And secondly, if you have a budget, you can bet that much on an entry-level American Made gun safe, sometimes even better than many media to find those high-level Chinese. Having thus, in my humble opinion, do not waste yourTime and money with the cheaper option, and help our economy strong, while you make the right choice.
