I busted open a safe (mine) in about an hour and it looked like a good one. It only took that long because I did it neatly so it could be repaired. I want a better one.

One that will stand up to a splitting wedge.

I used a grinder (outer skin), a hammer (concrete and to force mechanism), tin snips (inner wall), phillips head(door liner), prybar, and drill (tumbler lock). A splitting wedge or axe would have been faster, but would have made the safe irreparable.

I don't think that there is a burglar proof safe. Even banks don't have them, do they? The best advice I can give you is that if you have a safe, bolt it to the floor, or put it in the cement in your basement so only the top opens.
You can get safety deposit boxes at your local bank. Important paper should go there, or in your safe at home. One thing to look at is having your safe fire proof/heat resistant for 2 hours and WATERPROOF. These safes have to be bought at a specialty store not your local Walmart or Peavey Mart. Lots of people have safes, and have fires, only to find all their important papers damaged or unreadable from the heat or water.
You should also make sure friends and others don't know that you store money/ important stuff in your house.

1- Most home center safes are for fire protection and say so in the instructions ( about 2 hr limit if remember right). Also on the same tag or manual there are instructions on how to open the safe after a fire (which I'm sure every burglar has in his tool box).
Get a locksmiths advice on brands and manufacturers and I'm sure there is more information on the Internet (just type in the word "safe Manufacturers" and follow the links)
They are really expensive !

Wow, doesn't sound that much of a safe. A splitting wedge? That's all it took to get into it. Well I got a safe that I picked up in the mid - 80's for like $600.00 us dollars. Well I still got it, and it works nice. I'll also say it's going to take a lot more than a splitting wedge to get into it. But right to the point or answer is go to a security store/company. They will have safes or they can tell you where to go to get one.

I do not expect perfect spelling or syntax from a barbarian. I can figure out what you are saying. The NWO Obama needs to create division and class warfare. Divide and conquer. He doesn't really care about guns, it's just another way to distract the Republicans from more important issues.

My first step would be to go to your local lock shop. Tell the locksmith what you want. remember , no safe will keep every one out,if you have the right tools. depending on the size you need, and how much money you want to spend. About the best I have had to open, that took me the longest,about 14 hours, and about $200.00 in drill bits carbide, and diamond core is the S&G round door.

Go to your local banks and identify the manufacturer of their vault doors and contact those manufacturers for product guides.
