Investing in a high-quality gun safe is a staple for firearm owners to ensure the security and protection of their valuables. A superior gun safe is characterized by robust construction, reliable fire protection, and rigorous testing certifications. It’s important to thoroughly research and select a safe made from quality materials to ensure your investment provides the necessary protection.
We’re going to give a comprehensive overview of American Security’s BFII safe series–the perfect option for gun owners or those who need a secure safe to store cherished valuables. The BFII Series is the only UL Certified RSC Level II security-rated gun safe on the market, making it a standout choice for those who demand top-tier protection.
AMSEC BFII Safe Construction Overview
The American Security BFII Series boasts a level of quality that can’t be found in big-box retailers. Don’t take our word for it–the features and materials speak for themselves:
1/2″ Thick Solid Steel Plate Door
This substantial door offers formidable resistance against forced entry attempts and extreme pry attacks.
Dual Steel Body
Featuring a 5/16-inch thick inner steel layer combined with an 11GA outer barrier, this dual-layer design enhances the safe’s structural integrity, making it significantly more resistant to breaches.
Commercial-Grade UL TL-15 Rated Bolt-Work
Equipped with high-security TL-15 rated bolt work and 10 massive 1-1/2″ diameter chrome-plated bolts, the BFII Series stands firm against the most aggressive attacks.
Fire-Resistant Materials
The dual steel frame construction encapsulates DryLight®, American Security’s proprietary poured fire protection barrier, which eliminates gaps commonly found in other safes where heat can penetrate. This design is backed by an ETL fire rating of 120 minutes at 1200°F, ensuring superior fire resistance.
Dual Door Seals
The BFII Series features a high-temperature silicone seal and an intumescent Palusol™ seal. The silicone seal protects the safe until the Palusol seal expands in extreme heat, forming a tight barrier against smoke and flames, and maintaining lower internal temperatures during a fire.
Made in the USA
Manufactured with the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality, the BFII Series is proudly made in the USA. At American Security, we focus on the quality and functionality of our products and strive to offer top-tier security solutions for your cherished and irreplaceable valuables.
AMSEC BFII Safe Burglary Protection
The BFII Series stands out as the only UL Residential Security Container (RSC) Level II rated gun safe on the market, giving it twice the security rating of most traditional gun safes. This prestigious rating signifies that the safe can withstand a 10-minute attack by two technicians using heavy-duty tools such as:
- Chisels
- Punches
- Screws Drivers
- Hammers (that do not exceed 8 pounds)
- Pry Bars (that do not exceed 5 feet in length)
- Picking Tools
- Portable Mechanical and Electric Tools (including 1/2″ drills)
- Grinding Points
- High-Speed and Carbide Drills (that do not exceed 1/2 inch diameter)
- Pressure-Applying Devices or Mechanisms
The rigorous testing process involves attempting to create a six-square-inch opening in the door or front face of the safe, ensuring its resilience against sophisticated burglary attempts.
AMSEC BFII Safe Fire Protection
The BFII safes have earned an ETL fire rating of 120 minutes at 1200°F, indicating their ability to protect contents during prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The testing process subjects the safe to intense heat to ensure the interior temperature remains below 350°F, safeguarding firearms and other valuables from fire damage. Within the first 8 minutes of the test, the outside temperature reaches the 1200°F mark and in order to pass, the internal temperature needs to remain below 350°F.
The DryLight® material American Security utilizes makes the biggest difference and it’s a huge contributor to how this safe passes the extreme, high-heat ETL testing process.
Customization and Warranty Options
The BFII Series offers multiple customization options, including high-gloss, textured, and the industry’s only two-tone color choices. Customers can also choose from various adjustable shelving layouts, as well as mechanical and electronic lock options. With six available sizes ranging from 1,067 to 2,438 lbs, there’s a BFII safe to fit every need!
When used in a residential setting, the BFII comes with a lifetime warranty covering damage from burglary attempts and fire. Additionally, a 5-year parts and labor warranty is available when purchased with a factory-installed American Security lock.
