Iv seen three "fire proof" safes that were in house fires, one being a 56 gun that could literally step inside of it with 56 guns, only gold and silver coins were not harmed, ruined every gun in all three, wood was charcoal, synthetic was puddles, scopes glasses busted, nothing salvageable
No reason other than a shipping issue. We had to figure out a new way to wrap and palletize them because there were a few cases of them getting damaged by the shipping companies. We have resolved the issue now and should have them back soon. We do have the Answer12 still available. Same material and style just much wider and with double doors. www.secureitgunstorage.com/answer-full-size-gun-safes/
A far better method is to enclose your firearms, ammunition, and other equipment in a fire rated and insulated room. Five eighths sheet rock walls and ceiling, steel or solid door with 1 hour rating and rated enclosure. Problem with effective rated safes is unless located in basement or slab is the weight. Guns survive the fire but are damaged when the weight causes the fire weakened floor joists to collapse. Other features to consider are smoke & CO detectors, fire alarm system (monitored) and full or partial residential sprinkler system outside of the safe. Do not cover the inside of safe. - Forty-six year fire service professional.
Surround the safe with cinder blocks after installation and it will prevent fire damage..Just like a chimney, the heat will stay on one side..
I have 2 of your gun cabinets, I'm really happy with them. I have moved them from my upstairs closet to my office by myself.

Hello, Tom. Any reason SecureIt stopped selling the Answer 8 gun safe? I bought two of them and was looking to add a third. Thanks.

What gauge steel do your agile safes use?
