- Real world gun safe fire test - 75 minutes fire rated safes fails in 20 minutes.
Gun safe fire ratings are not based fire testing that simulates a real fire.
The fire safe testing procedure simply is not accurate.
In this video a gun safe from one of America's largest gun safe manufacturers had a 75 minute fire rating. In our simple real world test it failed miserably. In this video I explain why.

Well, this was awesome. You pointed out something I have never thought of. I have been a gun owner for 40 years and never once considered what happens to the guns in the fire the softening of hardened metals.
This is why I built a 12 x 12 concrete Tornado Shelter with a steel door in my basement. My Gun Safe and Ammo Vault are in my Tornado Shelter. My ammo is in GI Ammo Cans in my Ammo Vault. The nearest Fire Hydrant is 75 feet from my front door.
Excellent video Tom and good example of how the fire ratings for safes are not accurately depicted.
it takes around 900 degree in order for steel to lose strength so if your safe or firearm has sat in a fire for more than 5 minutes you playing 50/50
How best can you fireproof an existing gun safe. I was considering installing some type of crramic blanket on the inside as an added layer oc protection
That's exactly what I was looking at doing myself. Line the room with welder blankets idk ?
I built a water cooled safe that has a valve that opens when it reaches 200°f. That valve sends cold water from a thousand gallon tank through a coil system of copper pipes that run through the safe. It can survive a fire until the water runs out. Temps inside won’t reach even 120°F.
Cap
Yea no you didn't.
@@realtyrocks1969 sure I did. It’s not really a safe, but more of a storage container. It doesn’t lock. Yet. The valve that starts the flow of water is a simple ball valve with a spring to open it. The valve is kept closed by a stick of hot glue. When the stick melts, the valve opens. The water tanks are just two 500 gallon fuel oil tanks connected to the water line. They sit outside the house. The water flows through the container walls and exits as a water sprinkler that helps suppress fire near the container. It’s not like it’s a complex thing or even difficult to figure out. It’s not my fault if you can’t grasp such a simple concept. Lol
@@jeromebullard6123 cool story bro. Lol.
@@realtyrocks1969 what are you, ten years old? Lol
Hrm.... what about a safe on a solid concrete floor... thats on the ground??
This company make great quality products!
As soon as the internal temperature of the safe was 375, you know it's identical to a baking oven. So nothing stood a chance.
I live in a rural area with a volunteer fire department with just one pumper truck. No fire hydrants anywhere. ISO rating: none. There have been two residential fires in the fifteen years I have lived here. In both cases, by the time the volunteer department arrived, the homes were fully engulphed and burned to the ground. I wont have any safe with less than a 2 hr. UL fire rating.
Look for cement filled fire safes, they make all the difference
What if you put another document fire safe inside to protect documents would that work
Thats exactly what you do. Double protection
Most safes don’t have a flame constantly burning BELOW THE SAFE BOTTOM. Not an accurate real test of a fire…
My information comes from a locksmith I know who was a certified prison hardware specialist...safe master and really knew his stuff...I have 4 safes for various safe needs..my wife has one also.. bottom line is .. response time to your home...oh yes..never tell the F.D. there are guns or ammo in there..they will back off and let it burn...thank you for letting me cheer you up..facts..
Where's part2 at?
Seems alot of people I know buy fire-rated safes for documents and other valuables, along with the guns and ammo.
I've yet to buy a safe, and was looking for one today. Fire proof made no sense to me as the surrounding area will heat up the inside. Also a lot of them have a hole so you can dril through the sheet rock, and run an electrical cable through it. smg
If you want a safe get a cement filled one, they stand a better chance of not cooking your stuff. Also put any money or paperwork in a sentry fire safe inside the big safe and your guns in zipper type cases they help to keep the moisture from getting to your guns and causing instant rust
All i know is my gun safe i bought used has no fire sticker, it has 2-3/4" drywall sheets on all walls
How is this different from the last video you posted a couple of week ago. It looks like you took it down. I feel like you just reposted the last video. So is this content or a commercial? The question has nothing to do with your product. I’m just curious why you’ve reposted the firebox video.
It is not a different vid. We took the old one down and had to re-edit it as there were some errors.
The test is not truly depicting positive results & the verbal explanation is slight conjecture as there is no proof of wut is being said since the video was cut short, however too much talking in never a good sign, less talk more video footage and actual results of how everything looked after the test was over wouldve been a better statement of the validity of the safe and the condition of the contents within
so... basically use a safe to slow down bad guys and keep them away from the youngins, if in a fire... replace them, i can live with that. Thanks for the test.
The true sense of a safe is to keep people out but they should be thicker so story rounds don’t go off and hit someone
