Depends on the quality and percentage of metal used in construction.  You can have a small, skinny door that weighs twice as much as a bigger, wider one, simply because it is stronger and more dense (which is obviously better).  Personally I wouldn't want one with the hinges on the outside.

Hinges on the outside are not an issue.  In fact, they have the advantage of letting you open the door a full 180 deg instead of only 90 deg for better access.

There are steel bolts on the inside of the hinged edge, just like the non-hinged side.  You can remove the hinges, but you'll still have 3 or more  bolts underneath to defeat.

If you are referring more to how external hinges look, then never mind!   :D

Thought I'd share this video...seems like a old sales commercial for American security safes, but it also shows how vulnerable a safe can be on its back.  Make sure you bolt your safe down whatever type/brand you buy.

Could be a higher fire rating or higher resistance to break in.
