+1 for Liberty Safes.
I don't have one, but I want one bad, and I have for awhile. I shopped around while I was in a Apartments and you can feel the quality of everything.
The welds, the locks, the number of active bolts, everything is of better quality than of the other guys.
If you begin to research safes and how you can brake into them you begin to understand why everyone goes cheap. Safes are hard to make the way that they should be.
Right now I have a cheapo metal container that is bolted to the studs behind it and to the concrete under it. But if you hit it with a 36" or a 42" pry bar I'm sure you'd be in it within 5-10 minutes.
How many times in your life will you buy a safe? If you have one chance, buy something that is bigger than what you think you need, and buy the one you WANT.
Passports, birth certificates, titles, deeds, all kinds of paperwork end up inside a good safe. Along with any gold, silver, gemstones, and heirlooms. Unfortunately people, including wives think safes are just for Guns.
About quality and electronic locks. If the safe is an inconvenience to get into, due to cheap temperamental locks, poor hinges, or it's ugly so you keep it in the garage, you won't use it for the little things. You will either lock them up and never use those, or you will pull out the family jewels and if you do get burglarized they will be gone because it was too much of a hassle to continually lock them up and go back for them.
Just some food for thought.
