Burglary Safes
A B-rated safe’s walls are less than 1/2" thick, and its doors are less than 1" inch thick. A B-rated safe earns its rating with the presence of a locking device. Typically, lock work and re-locks are examined when choosing a B-rated safe. These safes are great, but do not protect the valuables inside from fire.
Fire Safes
Fire ratings are evaluated by testing to see if safes withstand varying furnace heat for specific amounts of time. For example, the UL Class 350 1-hour fire rating means that the internal temperature of the safe will not exceed 350°F for at least 1 hour when exposed to external temperatures over 1700°F
Gun Safes
Gun safes usually have UL Residential Security Container Burglary Classification and come with a variety of shelving options, depending on the number of guns and other items meant to be stored in the safe.
Depository Safes
Depository safes come in a variety of burlgary and fire ratings. What makes depository safes unique, is they usually have a slot or door for deposits by individuals not authorized to open the safe. These large “fish” resistant, pull out drop drawer deposit the money or items directly into the standard interior locker.
Pharmacy & TL High Security Safes
TL rated safes are combination lock safes that offer protection against combinations of mechanical, electrical, and cutting tools. Safes with a TL rating will resist abuse for a varying amount of time, depending on which classification tier they fall under, from picking tools to hand tools, mechanical or electrical tools, grinding points, carbide drills, pressure-applying devices, cutting wheels, power saws and impact tools. Some levels of TR-rated safes can also withstand welding and cutting torch abuse at certain levels.
Microwave & Imported Safes
These are smaller safes that usually aren't rated by the standard companies. They are small, have simple electronic locks and are great for small areas where large safes simply won't fit.
