If you would like me to take a picture of the door that I cut apart on a Browning Medallion M39F and show you the difference in the metal thickness I would be happy to , you can see that the outer layer of metal is thicker that the inner. Not trying to get in a back in forth but I have the cut away from a actual safe, not a factory demo.

Ho Ho Ho

[hipower]

LOL, +1

Ok, Daryl ............

[Guest safes]

Well just want to get the truth out on this board and make sure no one gets misled when buying a safe.

I'm yawning as I type this because we are going back and forth about this and all I'm saying is the Browning Medallion M39F that I had from a warranty replacement, I cut the door apart for a demo display and the metal thickness that I measured on the door is a 10 guage outer shell with a 12 gauge inner liner. When Prosteel opens after Christmas I will call the head design engineer and verify what the safes in current production (past 6 months) are using on the door. Can't say this any clearer than this, If any one would like to drop by my showroom I would be happy to show them this cut away so they can verify that what I'm saying is correct.

Happy New Year:usa:

We are supposed to let this die, but lets see if you post what you find out .

Okay, Prosteel is closed for the week but I get an answer Monday the 2nd,

Well the verdict is in, the design of the Medallion door changed in 2008 and drum roll please................ the outer layer of metal is 12 guage and inner layer is 10 guage , the engineer said it makes the door stronger with the heavier metal on the inner part of the door.

So Daryl you were correct about the metal thickness on the door

Happy New Year.
