The door is secured on every edge
Four-way boltwork protects all four sides, making it more difficult to gain leverage through a less-protected edge.

AMSEC’s compact TF-series model concentrates the numbers that matter into a narrow cabinet. Here is how the published size, capacity, and fire duration translate into a placement decision.
The steel construction targets forced entry
AMSEC describes the solid plate door and steel body as protection against pry and sledgehammer attacks.
Fire panels slow heat transfer
The interior lining creates a thermal barrier between the exterior steel and the stored contents.
Dual seals address smoke as well as flames
The door sealing is intended to limit smoke intrusion, not only external temperature.
The interior can change with the collection
Flexible shelving and a door organizer support a changing mix of long guns, handguns, documents, and other valuables.
