Questions & answers
Product FAQ
The most common questions Houston buyers ask about this safe.
What size is the BFX7240?
The BFX7240 has exterior dimensions of 71.25" x 40" x 26" and weighs about 1647 lbs. Those details matter for home placement, long-gun storage, doorway clearance, and bolt-down planning.
What fire rating does the BFX7240 have?
AMSEC lists the BFX7240 with a 120 minute fire rating. That rating helps protect firearms, documents, and valuables during a fire while you choose the right balance of size, weight, and security.
What security rating does the BFX7240 have?
The BFX7240 includes RSC I burglary protection when you need tested resistance for firearms, documents, and valuables, not just basic storage.
How many guns does the BFX7240 hold?
AMSEC lists the BFX7240 gun capacity as 36 in Safe + 2 on Door. Plan for less usable long-gun space when storing scoped rifles, wider tactical firearms, accessories, or items on the door organizer.
Can Houston Safe & Lock deliver and install the BFX7240?
Yes. Houston Safe & Lock can quote the BFX7240 with professional delivery, inside placement, and optional bolt-down service for homes and businesses in the greater Houston area.
