The AMSEC CF1814 is approved as a TL30 and the technical definition of a TL-30 safe is as follows: “Signifies a combination-locked safe designed to offer a moderate degree of protection against attack by common mechanical and electrical tools and any combination of these means. Has successfully resisted entry* for a net working time of 30 minutes when attacked with common hand tools, picking tools, mechanical or portable electric tools, grinding points, carbide drills, pressure applying devices or mechanisms, abrasive cutting wheels and power saws.” Basically they take every tool a smart burglar would use and punish the safe for 30 minutes. If the safe survives, it is rated TL-30 and Qualifies for Mercantile & Broadform Insurance Class F with a Bank Rating of G. So I’m sure you’re wondering, how do they accomplish this?
Let’s start with the massive 6″ door, constructed of a 3″ defense barrier of outer and inner steel plates creating a single structure encasing a unique, high density fire and burglary resistant composite material. This defense barrier on AMSEC CF1814 houses a proprietary amalgamation of nuggets and steel fibers to withstand concentrated attacks with the most sophisticated equipment used by burglars. On the door lies a U.L. listed Group II Key Changeable combination lock that is protected by a drill shattering hard plate and two additional spring loaded devices. The hinges offer a vertical height adjustment and utilizes an oil impregnated bearing ensuring easy door operation.
The locking mechanism on the AMSEC CF1814 is equipped with six massive 1-1/2″ diameter chrome plated solid steel locking bolts that move deep into the body’s protected bolt chambers. The body is formed to combine a total protective thickness of 3-1/2″ enclosing a high-density fire-resistant composite material with nuggets and steel fibers. The reinforced drill resistant door frame protects the door and each individual bolt chamber from severe side attacks. The proprietary inner barrier protects against peeling attacks.This AMSEC CF1814 TL-30 safe has been tested for up to two hours of fire protection at 1850° and successfully maintained an interior temperature of less than 350° for the entire duration of the test.
