Safe Buyer FAQs
How Are These Safes Made?
These safes are manufactured in the USA using U.S. and global components. Heavy-gauge steel bodies are formed, reinforced, welded, finished, and inspected before arriving at our showroom, where they are checked again prior to installation.
What Are Solid State™ Locking Bars?
Solid State™ locking bars are solid hardened steel bars, not thin cams. When engaged, they extend deep into the safe body to resist pry attacks, door flex, and forced entry—one of the key contributors to the Franklin Series’ Level 7 security rating.
