I gather you are against the electronic lock then?

Yeah, I bought a Safe with an Electronic Keypad and it died 2 years in.  Luckily I bought it from Costco so they refunded me, although I had to break into it so I could get the guns out first.

I think what the manufacture is actually saying when he says 24-gun safe is that it's a 7 rifle 17 pistol safe. Take out the shelves and you've got something closer to what it's being advertised as.

Just bought a Fortress Safe from X-Ring when they had them 20% off. Paid $1055 for a 36 gun safe. The Fortress Safes are made by Heritage. It is their more economic line of safes. It has an electronic lock with a key backup. Since it has the key back up I am not worried about the electronic lock failing. I will always have access. Plus the electronic lock is easily replaced and a new one can be shipped from the manufacturer. I feel this safe was the best compromise between those without a key backup like the Browning and the Sentry sold locally and the higher end safes. So far I like the safe but I feel the interior was not as well designed as it could be. I will probably change the interior once I start getting close to its capacity.

thanks for sharing. I am thinking that Liberty's warranty would cover if the keypad (electronics) dies, I will check. So how hard was it to break in to your safe. Do you meant like locksmith safe cracker break in or physically pry bar style break in?

Yeah I got you this safe has more than enough room for what I currently own with room for further expansion. Plus I still have the storage containers that I am currently using.

Thanks Inspector for sharing. I checked out the safes at x-ringfortress 24

Craftsman Prybars and maybe 2 hours.  I can't thank Costco enough for their refund policy though.  I wheeled the safe in pieces into the Iwilei branch and they apologized to me for the hassle, I appreciated the customer service.

wow that had to have been something. Did you take any pictures of the safe after?

How did you like the Fortress Safes? Don't tell anyone, but if you offer Brian to pay regular price he might throw in the delivery for free.

it was okay but wasn't terribly impressed with the interior. The long gun area on the left side in the pic looks like a pain to get guns in and out of especially further in the back. I will keep your suggestion in mind if I decide to purchase from x-ring.

Wasn't too bad, it was in a cramped area though so I took my time.

If your still looking for a safe.  I purchased a Mesa safe from Home Depot.  You can order the safe in store and you don't pay any shipping charge.  As long as the safe can make it to a California store it can be delivered to honolulu.  It will take about a month to arrive.

  I also paid for delivery $75 since I didn't want to stand there with a 900lbs safe in the back of my truck trying to figure out how to get it off.

Thanks. I am still looking, I have checked most big box store websites (Lowes, HD, Sears, Walmart, Sam's, Costco and ect.) I saw what they had to offer. I am a little hesitant buying sight unseen. If I could ask what model did you get and how happy are you with your purchase? Is the interior of a good quality? 900 lbs wow that must be a whopper probably a little larger that I was thinking. What all safes were you considering, what did you look at locally that you could compare the Mesa to?

The label in OP's post says 24 long guns.  Well it says "up to" 24 long guns.

I bought the 36 gun safe (mbf7236) with dial lock.  The interior is carpeted and has adjustable shelves.  Also has a power strip built-in.  It didn't advertise that it had a plug (bonus).  I can take some pictures and post tomorrow. 

Fyi.  I was looking at safes for about a year or so.  I originally wanted an amsec (over priced in Hawaii) but I also looked at liberty, cannon, and a few others. But the cost of purchasing one from a Hawaii dealer was out of the question. I even looked to buying something in the mainland and shipping it freight.  But ended up buying the mesa safe.  Overall I'm happy with my purchase, given the limited availability we have in the islands.

Thanks for the reply. Feel free to PM pics.

Body steel thickness is very important. I wouldnt deal with a safe that had less then 12 gauge steel. Experts recommend a quarter inch body and 1/2inch plate door.
