Gun Safe Profile: American Security
If you have started researching gun safes you have probably realized that there are many manufacturers, features, sizes, shapes and options available. To try and make your search a little easier, we will profile one particular manufacturer, American Security and focus on their gun safe line.
Many consumers like American Security because it is an American company with a long history (about 60 years) of quality products. American Security prides itself on their history of quality and durability in all of their products.
When it comes to gun safes, like many manufacturers, American Security offers several options to meet your needs. The main things to consider are size and weight, type of lock, available space, features, and fire and burglary ratings.
By now you have probably taken inventory of everything that you would want to store in your gun safe. This would include firearms as well as ammunition, accessories, etc. American Security offers models with various sizes and internal configurations to accommodate your possessions. Many of these models come with an option of a combination lock or electronic lock depending on your personal preference. American Security offers an option to upgrade to an electronic lock on many of their models, while the combination lock is typically standard.
Depending on the model, American Security offers features such as upholstered interiors, interior shelving and organization, interior lighting and electrical access holes. Security features include extra-thick doors, optional electronic locks, pre-drilled anchor holes, and locking bolts.
Many models offered by American Security come with fire ratings. For instance, an American Security safe with a 90 minute fire rating means that the contents inside the safe should remain safe during a fire for 90 minutes. There are other fire ratings that range from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on what your needs are. Many people consider a fire rating to be as important in securing their possessions as theft deterrents. However, many gun owners’ main concern is keeping their firearms out of the wrong hands so the fire rating might not be as important to you.
Whatever your needs are, American Security has many options available to suit most consumers’ needs. Keep in mind what you top priorities are and start narrowing down the options from there – whether you choose American Security or another trusted brand.
