You bought a TL-15 safe for your home? Where did you place it? Even the smaller TL-15 safes weigh hundreds of pounds and require some logistics to place. They are very impractical for most apartment dweller types, or even some high-density, old-construction flats because of their weight.

> Even the smaller TL-15 safes weigh hundreds of pounds I've seen a TL-15 safe that came as 6 separate modular pieces (i.e., 5 walls and the door each weighing about 100-150 pounds) that you bolted together, internally, with about 50-60 heavy bolts. It was specifically intended for condos, high rise offices, etc., so you could easily transport each piece on a hand cart or dolly, then assemble in place. It was a beautiful design, but no longer manufactured as far as I can tell.

> You bought a TL-15 safe for your home? Yes I did. It did not weigh hundreds of pounds. Its location was constrained a bit by where it could be secured to the structure but not unreasonably so. And it wasn't like I've got paintings or something in it, just stuff that if the house burned down I'd want to have survive and a few things I'd rather other folks not have (like passports).

  From this thread I've learned that a people-resistant safe might not be fire-resistant. Please check if your safe can actually handle heat and water.

    That is correct, and something to specify when buying a safe. In our case I was actually replacing a fire safe that my wife had bought at CostCo so fire resistance was a 'must have' feature. It has has our critical documents in it and a key to the safe deposit box where actually valuable but not something you might need to get out at home stuff is kept.
