Hollon RSV-5922C – The Sixteen Rifle Reserve Series Fireproof Gun Safe.

The Hollon Reserve series of fireproof gun safes are a great alternative to the more expensive Republic Series of gun safes. The RSV-5922C like the PDO RG-16C has a long gun capacity of 16 rifles inside the safe but comes without a pocket door organizer. The quoted gun capacity of 16 rifles will vary and is dependent upon the size of the rifles and accessories.

As with the PDO RG-16C gun safe the body of the safe is 1.25” thick consisting of two layers of fireboard one inch thick while the door is 5” thick with three layers of fireboard 1.5” thick. The safe is Torch Resistant Fire Rated for one-hour fireproof protection at 1250 degrees Fahrenheit. In the event of a fire the safe door has, a heat activated intumescent door seal designed to seal out smoke and water.

The steel used in the body of the gun safe is ten (10) gauge seamless as is the door. Ten-gauge solid steel plate added to the entire door plus drill/ballistic armored hard plate to protect the lock provides excellent steel protection in the event of an attempted forced entry.

Like the PRO RG-16 gun safe the RSV-5922C has seven (7) active steel locking bolts, three (3) fixed locking bolts on the hinged side and an active spring-loaded re-locker to prevent punch attacks. The major difference here, is that the RSV-5992C locking bolts are one inch (1”) diameter compared to the one and a half inch diameter (1 1/2”) of the RG-16C. All the locking bolts are chrome plated solid steel.
External hinges allow full 180 degree door opening and removal of the gun safe door for maintenance or repair. Pre-drilled anchor holes allow the gun safe to be bolted into position making it impossible for thieves to make off with the safe.

The interior of the RSV-5922C gun safe has four removable shelves, three small adjustable shelves and one full length adjustable shelf, and is finished in a soft plush grey trim.
The design of this fireproof gun safe far exceeds California Department of Justice Regulatory Standards for Residential Security Containers and at a price nearly 20% cheaper than the PRO RG-16C represents great value.

Hollon PDO RG-16C Republic Series Fireproof Gun Safe.

The PDO RG-16C may be the smallest of the Hollon Republic series of fireproof gun safes but it still boasts a long gun capacity of 16 rifles inside the safe plus extra storage using the pocket door organizer. The quoted gun capacity of 16 rifles will vary and is dependent upon the size of the rifles and accessories.
The body of the safe is 1.25” thick consisting of two layers of fireboard one inch thick while the door is 5” thick with three layers of fireboard 1.5” thick. The safe is Torch Resistant Fire Rated for one-hour fireproof protection at 1250 degrees Fahrenheit. To ensure weapons secured in the RG-16 gun safe are protected from water and smoke damage in the event of a fire the safe door has a heat activated intumescent door seal designed to seal out smoke and water.
Burglary protection comes by way of the design and steel used in the construction of these high quality fireproof gun safes. The body of the gun safe is constructed of 9 gauge seamless steel and the 5” door has ¼" (3 gauge) solid steel plate added to the entire door plus drill/ballistic armored hard plate to protect the lock.
The PRO RG-16 gun safe has seven (7) active steel 1 1/2” locking bolts and three (3) 1 ½” fixed locking bolts on the hinged side. All the locking bolts are chrome plated solid steel. To prevent punch attacks the RG16 has an active spring-loaded re-locker.
External hinges allow full 180 degree door opening and removal of the gun safe door for maintenance or repair. Pre-drilled anchor holes allow the gun safe to be bolted into position making it impossible for thieves to make off with the safe.
The interior of the RG16 gun safe has four removable shelves, three small adjustable shelves and one full length adjustable shelf, and is finished in a soft plush tan trim.
The design of this fireproof gun safe far exceeds California Department of Justice Regulatory Standards for Residential Security Containers and is well priced for a safe of this design and construction.

The TC-01K - A Quality Constructed Class B-Rated Drop Safe

The TC-01K drop safe is a B-rated safe having a dual key lock complimented by a spring loaded re-locker to resist brute force entry by amateur and skilled attackers. Provision of pre-drilled anchoring holes, anchoring hardware and inclusion of a saw-toothed baffle stop thieves from ‘fishing’ for the safe’s contents or simply walking off with the drop safe.  

To attain a class B security rating the drop safe construction must be a minimum quarter (inch ¼”) thick steel on all five sides and be equipped with a half inch (1/2”) solid steel door. While this may sound simplistic, the thicker the steel used the greater the protection for your valuables and yet many safe manufacturers use 12 gauge (7/64”) steel to make a drop safe and many classify a premium safe as having 10 gauge (9/64”) steel . The body of a TC-01K drop safe is constructed of ¼” thick steel,  two and a half time thicker than 12 gauge steel and twice as thick as the steel used in a  ‘premium’ branded safe. The door of the TC-01K drop safe is one and three quarters inch (1 ¾”) thick with a ½’ solid steel plate. Many drop safe doors may appear well constructed but in reality the construction is sheet rock sandwiched between two layers of 12-gauge steel providing an overall steel thickness of only three sixteenths (3/16) of an inch. The steel used in the construction of the TC-01K drop safe is definitely that required for a class B rating.

Like all good safes the TC-01K drop safe comes with a re-locker to keep the safe locked when attacked by a burglar. The spring loaded re-locker consists of a hardened pin and tensioned spring held in place by a plate, which, when released by someone attacking the drop safe locks the door in place. No safe this size is secure unless secured to the floor, a workbench or counter. The TC-01K drop safe comes standard with four pre-drilled anchoring holes and the hardware required to secure the safe. To stop would be thieves from accessing drop safes via the opening and “fishing” out the contents, drop safes will have either a baffle attached to the slot, a hinged hopper similar to bank deposit safes or a rotary hopper mounted on its top. The TC-01K drop safe has been designed with a saw-toothed baffle to prevent ‘fishing’.
For its size, the heavy-duty construction of the Class B rated TC-01K drop safe provides a high level of security without compromising ease of use by customers. This ease of use makes it a great choice for convenient stores, hotels, motels, churches, gas stations, car washes and restaurants

Recommendations For Purchasing A Biometric Gun Safe

Investing in a gun safe is the most effective way for securing handguns at home or in the office and is a security measure many take to safeguard families and valuables. Biometric gun safes are becoming the preferred option for many gun owners due to users being able to gain quick access using the fingerprint technology. The following recommendations will help
Biometric Wall Safe
  • Decide what you are going to secure in your biometric gun safe. The size safe purchased will be dependent upon how many guns and other valuables are to be secured. Biometric safes range in size from the typical home safe to smaller safes that can be hidden in a drawer, mounted to a bench or secured in a vehicle.
  • Know how the biometric gun safe is to be installed. Biometric wall safes may require installation by a professional while a drawer safe can be easily fitted into a bedside cabinet.  
  • When purchasing a safe ensure the biometrics are reliable and you will not have to worry when opening the safe in an emergency.
  • Always look for brands from top manufacturers who offer at least a one-year warranty on their safes. Protex and Baska are two popular biometric gun manufacturers that provide biometric gun safes that are reliable and easy to use.
  • Before choosing a biometric gun safe check the safes design and construction for the level of security offered. Importantly, look for pistol safes that can stand against overrides, have a solid steel safe door and body to withstand attempted security breaches.
  • Make sure the safe allows storage information for multiple users. Provision for multiple users allows opening of the biometric gun safe by responsible family members or other trusted individuals should you be absent in an emergency.  
  • Biometric Drawer Safe.
    Ensure the safe is easy to use.  Look for biometric safes with fingerprint scanners that are both easy to access and easy to use by all registered users whatever the situation.
When researching biometric gun safes look for top brands having reliable fingerprint readers and know what size safe you require to enable decisions on what installation is required. As with any safe purchase, there are design considerations that need to be considered when purchasing a biometrics gun safe. What level of security is offered, what and how many users can be stored and how easy is the safe to operate?
