Sturdy Safe

Can't comment on their complete safes but I got their Vault door. I'm really happy with it. Delivered to my house, well packed. Custom dimensions for no extra charge.
I would do it again in a heart beat. Really well made.
 
Looks like a quality product
Just like every other safe company, the door costs more than the entire safe. I never understand why
 
I have a 42” wide Sturdy Safe with a mechanical lock. I needed an extra small hole drilled for an electrical cord on the side but near the front. My order was filled on schedule and I have been 100% satisfied after 3 years in service.

Since you are researching safes. I had a Sportsman Steel Tactical American that I sold with my house. I have another on in order for the new house. These safes are top of the line.

When you close the door, there is a "whoosh" as the air is pushed out--it fits that tight. It has a a palusol door seal that swells shut in the event of a fire. This keeps out smoke and water. I went with two layers of concrete fireboard.

The Tactical American has a 3/16" steel body. You can go thicker. The Iron American has a 1/4" body. You can also add a stainless liner if you want. There are lots of options on interior and exterior configuration.

My first one was 72" high x 50" wide x 33" deep. It weighed 2150 lbs. My new one will be 10" wider so it will be a couple hundred pounds heavier.

These safes are very difficult to break into. They can't be pried and if someone tries to drill it out, large relockers will engage. A cutting torch would go through it, but most thieves don't bring those. It could also be cut through with a heavy grinder, but both the torch and grinder would take much longer than most thieves want to spend.

They have lighter weight safes as well, but to me it's the heavier steel that makes it secure.

My better half manages a bank with a door just like that one (she confirmed). The location was built in the early 50's, but the bank was found in the 1800's and the original location is still standing and is used as a law office. I've swung that door closed several times, and to say its hefty is a huge understatement. But once it's moving, a toddler could push it closed.
