A Comprehensive Guide to Safe Fire Ratings

An Introduction to Fire Ratings

There’s a science to the level in which a safe can withstand heat from a fire. Fire ratings are critical indicators of how well a safe can protect its contents during a fire. Understanding these ratings is essential for anyone looking to safeguard important documents, valuables, and irreplaceable items from fire damage.

Understanding Safe Fire Ratings

The scale of fire ratings indicates how long safes can withstand for a specified amount of time at certain temperatures. This measurement is vital because, during a fire, temperatures can quickly escalate to levels that can damage or destroy sensitive materials. A safe with a high fire rating ensures that even in the event of a severe fire, the interior of the safe remains at a temperature low enough to prevent damage to its contents.

The best fire ratings are determined through rigorous testing conducted by certification bodies such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Intertek Laboratories (ETL). While ETL is a reliable certification body, UL is the best-recognized leader in fire safety and certification. Although independent and factory-tested safes are viable options, organizations such as UL and ETL set the highest standard. Keep this in mind when comparing UL fire ratings to factory-tested ratings, as the criteria and procedures may differ.

Types of Fire Ratings

Fire ratings for gun safes, other residential safes, and commercial safes are established based on how long the containers can protect their contents against high temperatures. Depending on the level of protection you want for your valuables, you can choose from the following ratings from Underwriters Laboratories or Intertek Laboratories:

UL Ratings

  • 30-Minutes
  • 1-Hour
  • 2-Hours

ETL Ratings

  • 30-Minutes
  • 45-Minutes
  • 60-Minutes
  • 90-Minutes
  • 120-Minutes

Temperature Tolerances

Evaluating the level of heat protection for a safe container also involves examining the container’s internal temperature. For a safe to receive its fire rating, it depends on how long the internal temperature can stay below 350°F. This is vital since paper and money tend to char around 387°F.

Importance of Fire Ratings in Choosing a Safe

When choosing a safe, one of the most important factors to consider is the fire rating. It’s crucial to think about what items you plan to store in the safe. For example, paper documents are highly susceptible to heat and can ignite quickly. Valuables like jewelry or guns may withstand heat for a bit longer, but it’s still essential to choose a safe that offers substantial fire protection for all your items.

Did you know that house fires typically reach around 1,100°F? Knowing that, conduct your own risk assessment on your valuables to determine the protection you need. Before you make a final decision on your next safe, ask yourself the following:

  • What type of building are you storing your safe in? Some building materials burn faster than others so this is an important factor to consider. Plus, you’ll want to keep in mind the location in which you plan on keeping the safe (e.g., the basement or higher floor levels).
  • Do you live in a wildfire-prone region? If so, consider a safe that has a high fire rating to stay proactive should a crisis like this occur.
  • What would it cost to lose your valuables? Weigh the investment in a safe against the potential loss of the items you want to protect. If the value of these items exceeds the cost of the safe, the investment is likely worthwhile in the long run. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
  • Do you live in a rural area? If you know you’re not near a fire station, chances are the response time will be longer. A high fire rating could give you the extra time you need until firefighters reach your location. For example, in urban areas, full-time firefighters arrive on average within 90 seconds or less, while part-time firefighters in rural areas experience a turnout time of 5 to 7 minutes or less.

Construction of AMSEC Safes

We incorporate a variety of different materials to construct our safes and ensure strong protection against high temperatures. We typically craft our safes with either fire protection panels or our proprietary material called DryLight.

Fire Protection Panels

Many of our TF and SF safes are crafted with several fire protection panel layers throughout the interior body and door. This strategic use of fire protection panels significantly enhances the fire resistance of our safes, allowing them to pass ETL-Intertek’s rigorous fire tests with flying colors.

DryLight

Many of our safes feature our proprietary material called DryLight, with the BFX gun safe being a prime example. Incorporating DryLight has yielded impressive results, as demonstrated by ETL-Intertek’s rigorous testing. During the test, our BF safe endured 120 minutes in the oven without the interior temperature exceeding 350°F.

Palusol Door Seal

As much as the material of the safe walls should be constructed to provide strong protection, so should the door. That’s why we craft our safes with a Palusol door seal which will expand to 7 times its size if the temperature reaches 212°F. As a result, your cherished valuables will be sealed from heat and smoke.

Testing and Certification Process

Testing the fire-resistant capabilities of a safe requires simulating real-world fire conditions to assess how well a safe can protect its contents under extreme heat. The steps are as follows:
A specialized furnace is utilized to insert the safe into and be subjected to heat. This furnace is gradually increased to higher temperatures to simulate the growth and intensity of a real fire. Depending on the fire rating being tested, temperatures can reach up to 1,700°F (927°C) or higher. This is the process where the safe’s ability to withstand heat is tested and rated based on its performance.

Real-World Results

Our safes speak for themselves — we have received incredible feedback and stories on the effectiveness of our fire-resistant safes. One instance took place in Boulder County, CO, where one of our NF gun safes was the only thing left standing after the now infamous Marshall Fire.

Key Takeaways on Safe Fire Ratings

Understanding safe fire ratings is essential when protecting important documents, valuables, and irreplaceable items from fire damage. It’s crucial to consider the fire rating when choosing a safe, as different items have varying levels of heat susceptibility. Conducting a personal risk assessment and evaluating factors such as building materials, wildfire risk, and proximity to fire stations can help determine the appropriate level of fire protection you require.

Safe Accessibility

How often you need to access your valuables is another key component you have to take into consideration. If you need to access the safe frequently, such as for cash, documents, or a handgun, consider a smaller, more accessible safe that can be placed in a convenient location like a bedroom or office. A larger safe can’t promise the same accessibility. However, for items that you need to access less frequently, such as important documents, long guns, or valuable jewelry, larger safes placed in more secure, less accessible areas like a basement or closet may be more suitable.
Selecting the right safe for your needs involves more than just choosing the right size. It also means ensuring that the safe fits well in the intended location and that you can access it easily. Proper measurements are crucial to avoid installation issues and to make the most of your safe’s features.

Some of the common residential areas homeowners store safes are:

  • Closets: Closets are a popular location for home safes because they are discreet and easily accessible. Measure the floor space as well as the height of the closet to ensure the safe fits comfortably without interfering with shelves or hanging clothes.
  • Under Beds: If you plan to store a safe under your bed, measure the clearance from the floor to the bottom of the bed frame. Ensure there is enough space to slide the safe in and out easily.
  • Basements: Basements offer larger, more secure spaces for safes. Measure the available floor space and check for potential obstacles like support beams or utilities. Ensure the basement environment is suitable for a safe, with low humidity and minimal risk of flooding.

For businesses, consider measuring the following areas (depending on the layout of your building):

  • Office: In an office setting, measure the available space under desks or counters, in corners, or in dedicated storage rooms. Ensure the safe’s placement does not interfere with daily operations or workspace layout. Consider the proximity to valuable assets and the need for quick access.
  • Storage Room: Storage rooms offer secure locations for larger safes. Measure the floor space and height, and ensure the safe does not block access to other stored items. Consider the security of the storage room itself and whether additional measures like reinforced doors are necessary.

Consider the Safe’s Dimensions

When shopping for a safe, make sure to keep in mind the exterior and interior dimensions of the container. The exterior dimensions determine whether the safe will fit in the intended location. Measure the height, width, and depth of the safe and compare these to the available space. Remember to account for any protruding handles, hinges, locks, or other external features. Interior dimensions are critical for determining what you can store inside the safe. Ensure the interior space meets your storage needs, considering the thickness of the walls, door, and any shelving or compartments.

Don’t forget to take note of the doors swing radius on the safe you’re considering purchasing and consider whether or not there will be any potential barriers for opening the door in the location you’re placing the safe in. In addition, if there are any drawers that can be pulled out, you want to ensure that there’s ample space to fully extend them.

Other attributes to consider when choosing a safe include:

  • Weight and Floor Support: Especially for larger safes, consider the weight and whether the floor can support it. In homes, this is particularly important for upper floors. Consult a structural engineer if you are unsure.
  • Accessibility: Ensure the safe’s location allows for comfortable access. You should be able to open and close the safe easily and reach inside without difficulty. For larger safes, consider the height of the top shelves and whether you’ll need a step stool or ladder.
  • Environmental Factors: Consider the environmental conditions of the chosen location. Avoid placing safes in areas prone to moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight. This is particularly important for protecting sensitive items like documents and electronics.

Additional Safe Features

When choosing a safe, considering additional features beyond basic storage capacity is crucial to ensure your valuables remain protected against a range of threats. American Security safes offer various options tailored to enhance security and convenience.

Fire Resistance

Most AMSEC safes are listed with a fire rating established by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). This rating will indicate how long the safe can withstand high temperatures and protect your valuables inside. Many large safes are typically constructed with thick steel walls and other materials to protect from a potential fire. Just make sure you consider what steel gauge you would prefer in your next safe.

Weight and Mobility

The size of a safe directly impacts its weight and mobility capabilities, which is important to consider for installation and relocation purposes.
Large Safes: Designed to accommodate substantial storage needs and provide enhanced security, large safes tend to be heavier due to their robust construction and thicker materials. The weight of these safes can range from several hundred to several thousand pounds, depending on their size and level of protection.
Small to Medium Safes: Conversely, smaller safes are generally lighter and more manageable in terms of weight. Installation and transportation is easy, making them suitable for both residential and commercial settings where mobility and placement flexibility are important.

Future Planning

When shopping for a safe, it’s crucial to consider not only your current needs but also your future plans and potential growth in your collection of valuables. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Expanding Inventory

If you’re an avid gun owner or a collector of valuable items, it’s wise to anticipate future acquisitions. By choosing a larger safe, you can ensure you have ample space for new additions without needing to invest in a second safe later on. This is particularly important for gun enthusiasts who may plan to acquire more firearms, ammunition, or related accessories over time.

Diversification of Valuables

Your collection of valuables may diversify as your interests or financial situation evolves. Besides firearms, you might start collecting items like jewelry, important documents, precious metals, or even sentimental keepsakes. A larger safe can accommodate these diverse items, ensuring they are all protected in one secure location.

Family Growth

Consider the needs of your family as it grows. You may need to secure additional valuables, such as heirlooms, important family documents, or personal items for new family members. A safe that can accommodate these future needs will provide peace of mind and security for your loved ones.

Flexibility and Convenience

A larger safe provides greater flexibility and convenience in organizing and accessing your valuables. You can store items in a more orderly fashion, reducing the risk of damage and making it easier to locate specific items when needed.

Key Takeaways on Safe Sizes

Going with the largest, high security safe isn’t always the ideal choice for your valuables. Make sure to assess your needs and review the available AMSEC safe sizes to determine what you require.

Steel Thickness and Gauge: How to Evaluate a Heavy Duty Safe

When investing in a heavy duty safe, understanding the nuances of steel thickness and gauge is crucial. These factors directly impact a safe’s ability to protect your valuables from theft, fire, and other potential hazards. If you’re in the market for a heavy-duty safe but you’re not sure where to start, you’ve come to the right place.

While shopping for a safe may seem simple to the naked eye, there are a lot of factors to consider in order for you to unlock a high-quality option that also fits your unique needs.

Understanding Steel Thickness and Gauge

Steel thickness is typically measured in inches, while gauge is a numerical scale where lower numbers indicate thicker steel. For example, 10-gauge steel is thicker than 14-gauge steel. The gauge system can be confusing because it works inversely; as the gauge number decreases, the steel thickness increases.

 

Why Steel Thickness and Gauge Matter

  • Security: The walls and door of a safe are the first line of defense against an attack. Thicker steel provides better resistance to cutting, drilling, and prying, making it harder for intruders to break into a safe.
  • Durability: A safe with thicker steel is generally more durable and can withstand more physical abuse over time.
  • Weight: Heavier safes (due to thicker steel) are harder to move, adding an extra layer of security. A thief will have a hard time leaving the premises with a safe consisting of hundreds of pounds of metal.

Evaluating Steel Gauge in a Heavy Duty Safe

When evaluating safes, you’ll often see specifications for the body and door thickness. High-quality heavy-duty safes usually have thicker steel in both areas to provide comprehensive protection.

Understanding Commercial Insurance and Safe Ratings

Selecting a safe based on its insurance rating depends on the intended purpose. Are you a business owner trying to protect valuables from theft? Or are you a homeowner who simply needs a place to store possessions that are out of children’s reach? Unlike burglary or fire ratings, safe ratings for insurance focus solely on the construction attributes. Some insurance companies will require a certain rating level to protect the valuables stored in a safe, so it’s crucial to understand what type of container you require. Let’s dig into the different types of safe ratings to help you narrow down your choices.

Understanding Safe Ratings for Insurance

Safe rating systems serve as standardized methods for assessing the security level and resistance of safes against various threats. One widely recognized rating system is the TL (Tool-Resistant) rating, which categorizes safes based on their resistance to forced entry using common tools like drills, torches, and other implements. TL ratings typically range from TL-15 to TL-60, with higher numbers indicating greater resistance and security.

B-Rated Safe

Starting at the lowest level of insurance ratings is the B-rated safes. This level still offers significant protection for residential, commercial, or industrial settings where moderate security is sufficient. In order to have the B level rating, a safe has to include a steel body that is ½” thick and a door that’s less than 1” thick. While it’s not the thickest safe available, this option strikes a balance between a good level of security and affordability.

DSF2516

DSF2516 Safe

C-Rated Safe

A C-rated safe is slightly more durable than a B-rated safe. This is because a safe must be built with a steel body that’s a ½” thick and a door at least 1” thick. This is a step up from the B level but it shares a similarity in offering moderate security suitable for various commercial and residential settings.

BLC3024

BLC3024 Safe

E-Rated Safe

E-rated is the third level that doesn’t undergo testing but is evaluated by the construction alone. In order for a safe to receive this certification, it must feature 1” thick walls and a door of at least 1 ½” thick.

UL RSC Level I

Established by the Underwriters Laboratories, an RSC Level 1-rated safe must withstand an attempted intrusion for at least 5 minutes. This involves UL technicians testing the safe by using mechanical and electrical hand tools to simulate an attack. There are also other requirements the safe must meet, including the type of lock and materials the container is constructed with.

BF1512

BF1512 Safe

 

UL RSC Level II

As a step above the rating we just mentioned, the Underwriters Laboratories also has a RSC Level 2 rating. The only difference between this rating and the Level 1 alternative is that the safe must withstand any type of attack utilizing mechanical and electrical tools for at least 10 minutes. Construction requirements remain the same as the RSC Level 1 rating.

BFII6032

BFII6032 Safe

 

UL TL-15 Rated Safe

A TL-rated safe just means “Tool Resistant”, and there are varying levels of protection within this classification. This rating indicates that a safe can withstand a burglary attack involving various household tools for 15 minutes.

The makeup of these safes will not only feature steel but also a composite lining that ensures a higher level of security. AMSEC safes in particular pour concrete into the walls making the container less penetrable and heavier.

MAX1014

MAX1014 Safe

 

TL-30 Rated Safe

As the name implies, a TL-30 safe is similar to TL-15 but it can withstand an attack for up to 30 minutes. The same materials are typically used for construction, so there’s not much difference besides the fact that it has a higher level of durability against intruders.

CF1814

CF1814 Safe

 

TL-30X6 Rated Safe

The TL-30X6 rating closely resembles the TL-30 standard, with the distinction being that TL-30X6 safes undergo testing on all sides of the container. Considered one of the most secure options available, it must endure assaults from every angle, including the floor, for a minimum of 30 minutes. Safes with a TL-30X6 rating are also required to stand strong against grinder and peeling attacks, further enhancing their reliability and durability.

CFX452020

CFX452020 Safe

 

TRTL Rated Safe

The difference between the safe ratings we listed above and the TRTL-rated safes is that this type of container requires specific tool- and torch-resistant requirements. These safes are evaluated on a scale, with each rating indicating the duration for which the safe can resist such attacks. For example, a UL TRTL-15×6 safe provides 15 minutes of protection against tool and torch attacks on all six sides, while a UL TRTL-60×6 safe offers 60 minutes of the same comprehensive protection. This categorization ensures that TRTL-rated safes are robust options for securing valuable items against more aggressive intrusion methods.

How Safe Ratings Impact Insurance Coverage and Premiums

Safes with higher ratings may allow for higher coverage limits. For instance, an insurance policy might offer more extensive coverage for items stored in a TL-30×6 safe compared to a TL-15 safe, reflecting the increased security provided. Here are some other ways safe ratings can impact your coverage:

Claims Processing

In the event of a theft or damage, having a high-security safe that meets insurance standards can streamline the claims process. Insurers are more likely to approve claims when it’s evident that the policyholder took substantial precautions to protect their assets. You as the policyholder may need to provide proof of the safe’s rating and installation to support their claim. A well-documented safe with a recognized rating can expedite this process and reduce disputes.

Mitigating Liability

This is more for commercial use cases, but in the event of a security breach, demonstrating that adequate security measures were in place can protect against claims of negligence and potential lawsuits. Plus, businesses that handle high-value goods (e.g., jewelers, pawn shops), should utilize high-security safes to provide assurance to customers and clients that their valuables are secure, which will also enhance the business’s reputation and customer trust.

Long-Term Cost Benefits

While high-rated safes may have higher upfront costs, the long-term savings in insurance premiums and the enhanced protection of valuable assets can outweigh the initial investment. As the policyholder, you can benefit from reduced premiums over time and fewer out-of-pocket expenses in the event of theft or damage. For homes and businesses, installing high security safes can boost property value and become an additional selling point.

Tips for Choosing the Right Safe for Insurance

Create a detailed list of the valuables you plan on securing within the safe. Assess the vulnerability of each item and that will help you determine what security level you require. Plus, evaluating the number of items you need to protect will streamline having to decide what size safe you require as well. When in doubt, consult with your insurance provider to ensure that the chosen safe meets their standards and qualifies for any available discounts or premium reductions.

Using a safe with inadequate security ratings or failing to implement sufficient security measures could result in reduced coverage or higher premiums. Insurance providers assess the risk associated with insuring valuable items based on factors such as the type of safe used, its rating, and the overall security setup of the premises. Therefore, choosing a safe with the appropriate rating can directly impact the cost and extent of insurance coverage.

Don’t hesitate to contact the AMSEC team for guidance on what type of safe would suit your specific needs. There are a lot of different types of safes available within our inventory with additional customization options at your disposal, so you want to make sure you’re purchasing the right fit.

Key Takeaways

Understanding safe ratings is crucial for securing comprehensive insurance coverage and potentially lowering premiums. Safes with high security ratings not only protect your valuables but also ensure compliance with insurance requirements, offering peace of mind and financial benefits. AMSEC stands out by providing top-quality safes, such as those with UL RSC II and UL TL-30×6 ratings.
