Never place a safe where it can fall a full floor level in a fire because the fire liner will shatter. If you put your safe in a garage bolt it to the floor or wall or both. A safe is one level of security. A safe with an alarm system that is monitored is far better as it limits the time for a break-in. Never spin the lock dial as it can cause the tumblers to move and then you have to keep trying different number combinations until you get it right! A friend that went to safe cracking school for the USPS told me that one! Most problems with USPS safes were caused by spinning the dial when locking them.
