An application for a safe or strong box attaches to a larger, heavy object and provides improved security to its contents from unwanted removal. The safe or strong box has a revolving door that, when a proper code/combination/biometric is provided, rotatably opens to expose the contents. In one embodiment, the safe/strong box interfaces to, for example, a bedding system using a barbed plate that readily inserts between a box spring and a mattress, but due to the barbs, is difficult to remove without lifting the mattress from the box spring making it at least difficult to remove by, for example, children in the home. In some embodiments, sound dampening devices are provided to provide a quiet retraction of the revolving door, so as to not alert an intruder when the occupant is retrieving a weapon such as a pistol.

1. A safe comprising: a body, the body having an opening;a door rotatably interfaced to the body by a pivot, the pivot being central to the rotation of the door such that the door closes the opening in a first position of rotation and the door provides access to the safe through the opening in a second position of rotation whereas the door moves to be substantially contained within the enclosure of the body in the second position of rotation; anda locking system affixed to the body, the locking system having a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism engages with the door when the door is in the first position of rotation wherein force is applied to a mechanical energy storing mechanism when the door is rotated into the first position of rotation and, upon enabling access by the locking system, the locking mechanism disengages with the door allowing the mechanical energy storing mechanism to release stored energy causing the door to move into the second position of rotation; anda formed insert comprising one or more inserts within the body, the formed inserts supporting an object in a position such that the object is ready for access when the door is in the second position. 2. The safe of claim 1, wherein the enabling access by the locking system is performed by entering a combination. 3. The safe of claim 1, wherein the enabling access by the locking system is performed by presenting a biological sample. 4. The safe of claim 1, further comprising a plate affixed to the body of the safe, the plate having a plurality of barbs formed on at least one surface of the plate, the barbs pointing towards the body of the safe, such that it is easier to push the plate between two objects than it is to pull the plate out from between the two objects. 5. The safe of claim 1, wherein the object is a weapon selected from the group consisting of a gun, a knife and pepper spray. 6. A method of providing quick access to a protected weapon, the method comprising: providing a safe, the safe comprising: a body portion having an opening;a door rotatably interfaced to the body portion by a pivot that is central to the rotation of the door, and the door is shaped as a partial cylinder such that the door closes the opening in a first position of rotation and the door provides access to the safe through the opening in a second position of rotation whereas the door moves to be substantially contained within the enclosure of the body in the second position of rotation; anda locking system affixed to the body, the locking system having a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism engages with the door when the door is in the first position of rotation wherein force is applied to a mechanical energy storing mechanism when the door is rotated into the first position of rotation and, upon enabling access by the locking system, the locking mechanism disengages with the door allowing the mechanical energy storing mechanism to release stored energy causing the door to move into the second position of rotation; anda formed insert comprising one or more inserts within the base, the formed inserts supporting an object in a position such that the object is ready for access when the door of the safe is in the second position;providing a key to the locking system, the locking system releasing the locking mechanism responsive to the key, the door opening responsive to the locking system releasing the locking mechanism;positioning a weapon within the body portion of the safe;closing the door; andthe locking system engaging the locking mechanism responsive to the closing of the door. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the key is a combination. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein the key is a fingerprint. 9. The method of claim 6, further comprising: providing the key to the locking system, the locking system releasing the locking mechanism responsive to the key, the door moving to the second position responsive to the locking system releasing the locking mechanism;removing the weapon from within the body portion of the safe. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the weapon selected from the group consisting of a gun, a knife and pepper spray. 11. A safe comprising: a body for holding an object, the body having an opening;a door rotatably interfaced to the body by a pivot that is central to the rotation of the door, the door is shaped as a partial cylinder such that the door closes the opening in a first position of rotation and the door provides access to the body of the safe through the opening when the door is in a second position of rotation whereas the door moves to be substantially contained within the enclosure of the body in the second position of rotation; anda locking system affixed to the body, the locking system having a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism engages with the door when the door is in the first position of rotation wherein force is applied to a mechanical energy storing mechanism when the door is rotated into the first position of rotation and, upon enabling access by the locking system, the locking mechanism disengages with the door allowing the mechanical energy storing mechanism to release stored energy causing the door to move into the second position of rotation; anda formed insert comprising one or more inserts within the base, the formed inserts supporting an object in a position such that the object is ready for access when the door of the safe is in the second position. 12. The safe of claim 11, wherein the key is a combination. 13. The safe of claim 11, wherein the key is a fingerprint. 14. The safe of claim 11, wherein the key is a wireless key fob. 15. The safe of claim 11, further comprising a plate affixed to the body of the safe, the plate having a plurality of barbs formed on at least one surface of the plate, the barbs pointing towards the body of the safe, such that after the plate is positioned between two objects, it is difficult to pull the plate out from between the two objects. 16. The safe of claim 15, wherein the plate is removably affixed to the body of the safe by a plurality of fasteners. 17. The safe of claim 11, wherein the object is a weapon selected from the group consisting of a gun, a knife and pepper spray.
