Heritage safes??Who has one??

[wyosniper]

Gentleman, I also have looked at a lot of safes. I have been looking at the Heritage Legacy series. The LX4372. It weighs 1150 lbs. I really cannot find anything bad about these. It looks well bulit and when you open the door its solid as hell. Does anyone have one of these? The good or bad? Wonder how this would stand up to a someone trying to brake into it.

Also does anyone have the ultimate series? How you feel about it? It has the 3/16 body instead of the 1/8 body like the legacy. Can someone post a pic of the interior if they have one? I also looked at ft.knox, a defender with armaknox. It is 3k more. But i really like these heritages. thanks

Re: Heritage safes??Who has one??

I have a Heritage Traditional which is the predecessor to the Legacy line. It was the first safe I bought, I was uninformed and you could not give me another. Within a year of owning it the shelving collapsed with not much weight on it. When I called heritage the customer service rep told me I probably had too much weight on it and it probably wouldn't be covered under warranty, looking for a reason to deny warranty before they ever checked it out. They wanted to have a local tech come check it out and me to pay his fee if it was determined to be too much weight. It seemed like a bunch of bullshit so I bought some wood and made new stronger freestanding shelving for it.

I thought that was bullshit because I know I didn't have much weight on the shelving at all. I wasn't going to take a chance in being denied and having to pay the local tech so I said fuck em. I also wasn't too keen on giving away the location of my well hidden safe to somebody who knew how to get into them.

For the money there are better safes out there.

Re: Heritage safes??Who has one??

I bought one a year ago and it has served me well. I did a lot of research and the feedback I got ranged from "nothing but the Fuhrer Bunker would suffice" to "just get a Stack-On". One thing everyone was spot on with is none will hold their rated gun capacity.

These are my Heritage specs

Safe Model - FSR4372T10 $2289.00 delivered
Exterior Color - Sandstone
Interior Color - Beige Suede
Interior Configuration - EZ-Expand
Lock Option - S&G standard mechanical dial lock
Options - Black Chrome hardware if graphics are also black

They delivered when they said they would and were great to work with. This was important as I had to coordinate a rigging company to move it in to my house.

I have had no shelf problems. My ammo is in a seperate cabinet so the shelves only hold optics, slings, crap like that.

I liked that it was made in the US. I liked the exterior hinges. I liked the interior because it allows me to store my guns barrel down.

There are better but not for the money I was willing to spend. Its main purpose is to keep the kids away from the guns and it will do that nicely. It will stop heroin addicts from getting access but anyone that knows what they are doing will get into any RSC.

AS far as fire protection consideration goes. More fire protection equal less interior space - find the crossing point of cost, protection and price that suits you. My thoughts on fire protection and guns is that in a real fire immediate to your safe bad things will happen to your firearms unless you spent some serious money.
