If you need to buy a safe for your home in order to protect your most valuable possessions, one thing you shouldn't do is skimp out on it in terms of paying less.
The Mesa Safe Company is a manufacturer of quality home safes and they are known for using the highest grade materials in their safes, which is why they cost a little bit more.
Of course, we all love a good deal, but there are certain things that we should not cut corners with, and a safe is one of them. So, before you read this Mesa safe review, if you want to save money and buy something inferior, we suggest looking elsewhere…
But, if you want a high quality burglary safe at a price that's still relatively affordable, read on, because the safe we are going to talk about today - the Mesa Safe model MBF1512C - may very well be it.
In terms of the company itself, you should know that the Mesa Safe company has been around for thirty plus years, as they were founded in 1981 in the state of California.
They are pioneers in the safe-building business and they have a great reputation that you will no doubt discover as you learn the who's who in the safe business in 2016.
Officially billed as the Mesa Safe MBF1512C Burglary and Fire Safe, this 18.8 x 17.2 x 20 inch and 140 pound specimen here with its hammered grey steel exterior combines the maximum level of security you get with a fire safe with some of the more technical features you get with a burglary safe.
This solid steel model certainly beats a plastic safe, as Mesa shows in this "break-in test" video below…
As the above video shows, having a plastic safe to protect your belongings is not the ideal choice. Safes that use plastic are less secure, and can easily be broken by almost anyone.
They're so flimsy, in fact, that you may as well not even use a safe if you're going to go with plastic.
On the other hand, the Mesa Safe MBF1512C has a two hour fire rating, and has been thoroughly tested in up to 1830 degrees of heat.
The security specialists at Mesa, after their first (literal) trial by fire, then proceeded to drop the safe from a height of thirty feet and then reheated it for another forty-five minutes.
The point is, this safe has been tested and can certainly take a pounding and come out totally unscathed.
With a one inch thick deadbolt lock secured deep into the body of the safe, the experts at Mesa have mastered the art of security, and it is virtually impossible to get into this safe via any kind of door removal tactic or forced entry.
There is also a single anchor hole provided here in order to fasten your MBF1512C safe to the floor, so that burglars can't carry it away.
Add to that some truly heavy duty hinges that provide both the smoothest door usage, as well as another level of security.
The shelves found inside the safe can easily be adjusted or removed according to your preference.
