The fire barrier has no panel seams
Seamless fire-clay fill surrounds the interior, while an expanding door seal helps close gaps against heat and smoke.
Burglary resistance was independently tested
The UL RSC certification represents standardized attacks with common mechanical and electrical tools.
Permanent installation is accounted for
A recessed anchor point and mounting hardware allow the safe to be secured without placing exposed hardware in the storage area.
The safe can be adapted to the room and contents
Lock choices, motion-activated lighting, riser pedestals, finish options, and model-dependent storage cabinets support more than one fixed configuration.
