- AMSEC GUN SAFES Parker's Safes and Vaults talks about some of the features of American Security BFX and BFII series safes as it relates to quality, fire protection, construction, interiors and more. Is American Security a good gun safe? Check out this vid.
Thanks for the info was going with liberty but not anymore so seeing what’s out there to get
I just bought one today. Being delivered in a week or so. I was sold on the craftsmanship. Great video.
I can't say enough good things about Parker's Safes and Vaults. Aaron is a wealth of knowledge and the most professional person I've had the pleasure of working with on a purchase in some time. He and his son made delivery and set up look almost easy. Would recommend 100% if you're remotely interested in a safe. Any future purchases will be from Parker's Safes and Vaults.
Thank you very much sir!
Thanks for the informative video! Will probably go forth with getting an American Security safe.
I always enjoy your videos.. Thanks
If there's another gunsafe in my purchasing future, it would be a BFII. Many if not most gun safe manufacturers use drywall for "fire rating," which kind of sucks for whatever it is you are trying to save from fire.
Yes I was an Engineer for AMSEC in the late 90s. They are good safes.
1/2 inch door is incredible! I’m looking for a safe and that go my attention!
Thank you very much for the video. How thick is the outside steel on the sides and top? You mentioned that the door has a 1/2 inch steel plate on it. What is the cost of this particular safe also? Look forward to your other videos.
The outside steel on that particular safe is 11 gauge followed by 2 inches of concrete but the inner steel then, is 5/16. I actually like the fact that they put the thicker steel on the inside panel rather than the outside. For one, it makes it less expensive to build and for two, it makes it harder to get into.
We really don’t like to mention pricing on these video comments but if you’re interested in one, just give me a call I’ll be happy to quote a price for you.
@@parkerssafes I find it ironic that you won't mention the PRICE of
such a safe. What exactly is the "issue" regarding that? Is it illegal or
unethical, or what?
@@hansanderson6607 Fair question. AMSEC has MAP pricing that dealers must adhere to. If I list a price on line and the prices change and I don't go back and adjust, then I could be in violation. If we don't advertise prices, then we can't be faulted. That's all it is.
I would check out sturdy safe. You get more steel thickness for your money.
That’s a lie it’s not concrete maybe a mix of some sort is stucco type but not concrete
What Kind of Resisstgrade the Safe has? A German Resistgrade 1 is a lot of Security
Any versions of that safe that arent easy to cut holes in? Tl30x6 version? 🧐💵💵💵
Yep the RF series
Any thoughts on the sports afield safes? Kinda limited on what we have to chose from around here. Looked at a cannon but it was garbage. It broke when we were looking at it in store. On a budget so choices are limited. Thanks
Look at the "economical" line from Sturdy Safe. I replaced a Sports Afield "safe" with a Sturdy some years back. The Sports afield is a classic example of price-point marketing, but not very secure. It will keep out kids and curious guests, but not determined thieves. Good luck!
I agree with Mike’s comment. You could also consider the SF or NF Amercian Security lines.
Thanks guys 👍
Those are junk. Gotta spend real money to get a real safe. Fort Knox, Brown safe, Amsec and top dog Graffunder, if you’ve got the coin!
Arron, The black shiny safe to the right of the safe you’re speaking of, which safe size is that.
thanks
That’s a BFII 7240
For what it’s worth I’ve had my AMSEC safe for about 6 years now and I like it. Just wish I bought a bigger one. Other than that I’ve had to replace the keypad battery about once a year which is very easy. I like AMSEC and will likely get another when I get a bigger one one day.
Good to hear. What model do you have?
One day, your safe won't open because of the digital keypad. Then youtube and research get you nowhere. Calling customer service, they tell you to call referred to locksmiths!
Is the BFII a grade higher than BFX? BFII doesn’t have active bolts on hinge side, is that going to change to be like the BFX?
You wouldn’t think so by looking at the door but yes it is a level up from the BFX. A lot of higher end commercial type safes don’t have active bolts on the hinges side. It doesn’t add to or take away from the security level. I haven’t heard anything about them changing it.
@@parkerssafes great thanks for the quick response and your videos! Best source of information I can find on Amsec safes on YT.
My supplier's are telling me the bf was replaced by the bfx
That's correct. The BFX is basically the old BF but with a new door which now has 4-way active bolts, 3 stage boltwork, and a gear drive.
No because they lie about the actual material that they use they claim it’s a concrete mix fill in between the safe!! If that were true then it would be rated a TL-15 I’m talking about their BFX series of so called safes.
Well they don’t lie at all. It’s called Drylight. It does set up a little bit like concrete but it is much lighter hence the name. They do have safes that use actual 12,000 psi concrete though. In my opinion, the drylight is still superior to sheetrock. Cheers
Are the American Security all made in the USA?
I’d like to know this as well
I think they’re out of Fontana California
The NF and SF series are imported from overseas.
Not all of them they have cheaper safes that are made overseas.
Unfortunately ( like most smart shoppers ) If you have to ask how much $ ...... You probably CAN'T afford 🤗😕
They're not cheap safes but then again they're not cheap safes.
Still wanna know what your getting into or compare options and safes between brands and price
