AMSEC WS1214E5 Wall Safe
3.2/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)
I picked the WS1214 for the reader who fears a burglar more than a fire. AMSEC builds it from 7-gauge steel with three 1 in locking bolts, a hard plate over the lock and a spring-loaded relocker that fires if the lock is punched.

What owners say
Summarized from 1 owner discussion and review page we read.
Praise
- A hard-to-find size with lots of storage that looks and feels strong
- Clean welds and paint; one owner liked that it is heavy for its size
Complaints
- The weight owners praise also means the mounting has to carry 86 lb, so plan the framing before it goes in
