Today at their expanded Fontana, California facility, AMSEC manufactures and imports over 600,000 safes yearly across more than 400 standard models in every insurance classification, from non-UL, listed B-rated up to Underwriter’s Laboratories top-level TL-15 and TL-30.ĪMSEC safes with TL-15 ratings and above are generally considered commercial-level safes. AMSEC also tests their electronic locks to a military standard (Mil 0202, Method 106) which subjects the electronics to high variations in temperature and humidity. Regarding fit, several AMSEC gun safe models include an adjustable door shim system so the dealer (or even the user) can fine-tune the fit of the safe door for an optimal gap and to prevent interference with the safe body. AMSEC prides itself on its high-quality standards and strength. The company’s TL-rated commercial safes include hardened steel plates, concrete-filled walls, and composite drill-resistant panels.

(Underwriters Laboratories is a third-party testing group that verifies product claims for safety, burglary resistance, fire resistance, and more.
Notably, AMSEC commercial safes were the first US-made safes to receive the highest Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Burglary Rating of TL-15 and TL-30.
A square-door design required changes to the locking mechanism and bolt arrangement compared to a round safe door. Today AMSEC often uses a water-submerged plasma cutter to cut their plate steel doors to precise tolerances while keeping costs lower. So, as home gun safes grew in popularity, AMSEC decided that the round-door safe design was too expensive for many American homeowners and developed a cost-effective square-door safe door that could be welded from square steel plates.
One of the primary barriers in the home gun safe market is price (as well as weight and difficulty of installation). AMSEC has been expanding its extensive line of safes to include more RSC, or Residential Security Container models for homeowners. Over the past 40 years, home and gun safes have become more popular.
