A seamless fire barrier fills the shell
Proprietary fire-clay material reduces vulnerable seams while working with the surrounding steel against heat and forced entry.
The security claim was independently tested
UL RSC certification reflects standardized tampering and pry attacks using mechanical and electrical tools.
Boltwork backs up the plate door
Heavy locking engagement is designed to keep aggressive prying from defeating the door at one concentrated point.
Anchoring is part of the installation
A provided anchor point and hardware help protect against tipping or removal of the entire safe.
