Burglary Safes

Burglary Safe Ratings

Burglary safe ratings are a way to measure the security of a safe against forced entry. The ratings are based on a number of factors, including the thickness of the safe's walls and door, the type of locking mechanism, and the materials used in construction.

There are a number of different burglary safe rating systems in use, but the most common are the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the British Standards Institution (BSI).

B Class Safe Rating

B Class safes are a basic level of security for residential and commercial use. These safes have a door that is less than 1 inch thick and a body that is less than 1/2 inch thick. They are built to withstand minimal burglary attempts and are best suited for storing items of lower value.

C Class Safe Rating

C Class safes are a step up from B Class safes in terms of security. They feature a door that is at least 1 inch thick and a body that is at least 1/2 inch thick. This offers more protection than a B class safe and is designed to resist more determined attempts at forced entry.

UL RSC Level 1

UL (Underwriters Laboratories) RSC (Residential Security Container) Level 1 safes have been tested to withstand a burglary attempt for up to five minutes using common tools such as screwdrivers, adjustable wrenches, pry bars, punches, and hammers. These safes are suitable for residential use where the risk of burglary is considered average.

UL RSC Level 2

UL RSC Level 2 safes offer a higher degree of protection than Level 1. They have been tested to withstand burglary attempts for up to ten minutes using more sophisticated tools like drills, grinders, and saws. This level of safe is appropriate for environments where the risk of burglary is higher.

UL TL-15

UL TL-15 rated safes have been tested to withstand a concentrated burglary attack with common mechanical and electrical tools for 15 minutes. The TL stands for "Tool Resistant," and the 15 refers to the number of minutes the safe can withstand the attack. These safes are commonly used in businesses or homes where high-value items are stored.

UL TL-30

UL TL-30 rated safes provide an even higher level of security. These safes have passed a 30-minute test against a range of attacks using mechanical and electrical tools. They are built to resist even the most determined burglary attempts, making them suitable for storing high-value items in commercial settings or homes.

UL TL-30x6

UL TL-30x6 rated safes offer the highest level of burglary protection. These safes have been tested and found to withstand 30 minutes of attack on all six sides, using the same range of mechanical and electrical tools. This rating indicates the safe's high durability and superior protection against forced entry. These safes are often used in businesses, banks, and high-risk environments where maximum security is required.
