No doubt about it, the Fort Knox is one heck of a safe, but it also carries one heck of a price. Maybe I'll buy one of them when I finally get a single family house and might actually need a second safe and have room for a second safe.

I started thinking about the interior hinges, and would have sworn that the American Security safe at my parents' place had interior hinges, but looking at their website it appears that that safe model has exterior hinges, but some of the AMSEC safes do have interior hinges. Maybe my parents' safe actually does. It cost me about $1,700 7 years ago and it is 72" tall, 40" wide, and 26" deep and it holds something like 40 guns. I'm going to leave it at their place because 1) I don't want to bother with moving it and 2) I really like the duo feature on the Browning safe. That will make my life a lot easier and it will also prevent a lot of scratches on guns from moving them all over the place to try and get them out. None of the Browning safes come with interior hinges.

By the way, I could not believe the number of locking lugs on those Fort Knox safes. Utterly insane, but good.
