Top Reasons to Buy a Fort Knox Gun Safe

Fort Knox Gun Safes
There are several reasons to buy a Fort Knox gun safe. It is important to understand NOT all safes are for everyone. There are hundreds if not thousands of safes available for a reason. It's important that customers find out what is most important to them and then discover the manufacturer that offers that best. While Fort Knox gun safes have a long list of reasons, the top reason to buy a Fort Knox gun safe is by far the available options and customization.

Customize your Security

Keep in mind that all Fort Knox safes are made in Orem, Utah. These gun safes are NOT imported from another country. Fort Knox is the only company that makes gun safes with a long list of fully customizable options. Every other manufacturer have a standard build for each of their model safes. In some cases the customer is given the option of color, accessories, and sometimes interior arrangement while Fort Knox makes it easy and painless for customers to specify EXACTLY how they want their safe built. As mentioned earlier there are several reasons to buy a Fort Knox gun safe. If this is not something a customer is not interested in they can simply choose from one of the 7 different models and simply pick a color and interior arrangement as with other manufacturers.

Consider The OPTIONS!

The options available from Fort Knox start with the typical kinds

First Option: Interior arrangement. The Fort Knox difference here is in the quality and variety! While most other gun safes have colors and interior options Fort Knox has near 40 different interior arrangement options! There are 6 different safe sizes to choose from and almost all sizes have 8 different arrangements. That much more than the typical 2 or three different options.

Second Option: Exterior color/finish. Depending on the model of safe there are 14 different colors available. With this seems fairly typical Fort Knox raises the bar in quality. Each of the glossy paint options are "Baked on Acrylic Urethane Metallic"

Third Option: Lock. Another option that most would think is pretty straight forward, but AGAIN Fort Knox takes this option to the next level. There are 4 different options here. Most manufacturers have a Mechanical, Electronic and Biometric lock option. Fort Knox has recognized that many customers go back and forth between electronic and mechanical.

Benefits of Electronic Locks:

Change your code easily and at any time
Faster to open the safe

Benefits of Mechanical Locks:

Reliable
Never have to replace batteries

Fort Knox noticed this dilema customers are faced with and decided to fix it with The Redundant Lock System. This is a system that has both options in one!! Most users choose to use the electronic lock for daily use and the mechanical lock as a failsafe backup however either can be used at any time.

Fourth Option: Door Swing. Most if not all other gun safe manufacturers have the safe door hinges on the right, but with Fort Knox a customer can change that and have the hinges placed on the left side. This is a small but significant option if a customer is limited on safe placement.

Fifth Option: Safe Construction/Security. This is where Fort Knox really shines! Customers that had research gun safes and already have an idea what they are looking for usually get stumped when they discover these options. This is listed as 'Safe Construction/Security' because you can literally change the degree of security of your safe! While other manufacturers give the option of several different series or models of gun safes Fort Knox uses the 'series' as a guideline for customers to mix and match the steel. This can get a little complicated so I am going to keep it simple. Each series has it's own specification of steel thickness from the entry level Maverick to the top end Legend.

Deluxe Package: If a customer is stuck between two different series they can add the Deluxe Package which will add thicker steel for the outside body of the safe and the door of the safe as well.
Inner Steel Liner: For added security and maximum protection Fort Knox offers an option of additional 10 gauge steel plates (up to 4) to line the inner walls of the safe.
Safe Body Upgrades: Similar to the Deluxe package a customer can choose to increase the steel thickness of the safe body. If the series safe has a 10 gauge body the customer can choose this upgrade to increase the steel to 3/16" or 1/4" steel.
Stainless Steel: My favorite! This is where Fort Knox has yet again set the standard. The stainless steel package adds 10 gauge stainless steel to the outside body and door of the safe for optimum protection against a torch attach. This option is standard on the top of the line Legend series.

With all of the customization options it hard to imagine Fort Knox not fulfilling what's most important to most gun safe shoppers. There are more reasons to buy a Fort Knox gun safe beyond what was covered in this article but this covers the highlights. When shopping for a gun safe a customer should consider what is most important to them first. I hope this helps many decide. If you have any questions feel free to contact us at The Safe Place.

Gun Safes for Guns Must be Secured or Heavy to Avoid Being Carried Off

The police report from Boston reads: Southerly Road, 900 block. Between 3 p.m. Oct. 14 and 5 p.m. Oct. 16. Someone used keys to enter an apartment and stole one safe containing a Baltimore City police service weapon and two loaded magazines and another safe containing ammunition, body armor and keys to the apartment and cars, police said.

Well, this is a head's up that firearms of any sort should not be kept in a container that isn't secured or too heavy for someone to cart off.

Gun safes aren't just to keep people from firing weapons, it's to keep them from getting stolen.

Here's a gun safe that won't get carted off. It's the

Browning Tactical Series Mark II AR26F Gun Safe

Someone's going to have to come pretty darned prepared to cart this gun safe out of your house or office. It weighs 725 pounds --and you're going to bolt it down too. It has a 60 Minutes fire rating at 1200ºF and all sorts of other interesting and useful features.

The Gun Safe, Fire Safe, Burglary Chronicles: When My Security System Failed Me, My TL-15 Saved the Day

They forgot to turn on their alarm --that's what one of our clients told us recently. But their jewelry was not stolen in the burglary that happened, even thought their safe was assaulted, because they owned a TL-15.

A jewelry safe is a safe that is designed to protect jewelry and other valuables from burglary and from damage due to a fire and/or smoke. These safes are made to resist break-ins by amateur and professional burglars. You can tell how secure a safe is by the burglary rating assigned to it.

Burglary ratings are specified in minutes they are tested. A a TL-15 rating means that the safe would resist break-in using common power and hand tools for at least 15 minutes.

We often (if not always) have some of the lowest prices in the nation on jewelry, gun, fire, and burglary safes, including Ft. Knox gun safes.

The Gun Safe, Fire Safe, Burglary Safe Chronicles: Coin Collections and Burglary Safes, a Match Made in Coin Heaven

The Gun Safe, Fire Safe, Burglary Safe Chronicles: Coin Collections and Burglary Safes, A Match Made in Coin Heaven

If you collect coins (and other valuable collectables), make sure they go in a security safe that will actually protect them, in a worst case scenario. Don’t skimp on protection, as the money you save at the beginning could end up costing you the very things you sought to protect.

We also offer the lowest prices on Fort Knox gun safes --in the nation. Ask us!

The Gun Safe, Fire Safe, Burglary Safe Chronicles: Foiling the Burglar

Your gun safe is meant to keep burglars from getting to whatever it is you’ve put in your safe. However, it should be known that not all gun safes that LOOK like safes actually offer forced entry protection. Make sure you buy a safe from a dealer that is honest with you, that listens to your needs, and that offers you the lowest prices available --on a good quality gun safe.

To foil a burglar don’t make it easy to gain access to your premises. Have good lighting. Have an alarm system and make sure the whole world can tell. And, yes, have a gun safe that’s built like, well...Fort Knox (we happen to offer some of the best prices in the nation on Fort Knox Gun Safes).
