The “RSC” rating came about several years ago and is an actual insurance rating for a home or office safe. Unlike a fire-proof record safe that is specifically for document fire protection. With an RSC rating you know that you have additional burglary protection on your safe. Not as high as a TL-15 (Jewelry Store rating) the RSC would be equivalent to TL-5

Possibly, but we don’t recommend it: Gun safes are often very heavy and difficult to move. It’s usually recommended to hire professionals to avoid injury and ensure proper installation. The Safe House has in-house, vetted movers to insure your safety and security.
