Liberty Safe understands that not everyone can afford a high-end safe with expensive security features. This doesn’t mean you can’t have proper protection for your firearms and valuables. We have you covered with a variety of safes with security levels ranging 3-10.
Centurion, a Budget-Friendly Level 3 Security Safe
If you need a budget-friendly and secure safe, the Centurion Series gun safe is a great example of Liberty’s Level 3 security. As one of our top-selling safes, the Centurion is economy-priced, which is very important today, as many Americans are watching every penny. But “economy pricing” doesn’t mean you have to skimp on security. Just consider the security features that Level 3 security safes like the Centurion have:
Security Certification
Many Liberty Security Level 3 gun safes, including models in the Centurion series, meet the requirements for California Department of Justice (DOJ)-approved firearm safety devices under Penal Code Section 23655.
Built with Strong American-Made Steel
The thickness of a safe’s steel walls is a contributing factor in pricing. Gun safes with a Level 3 security rating feature 14-gauge steel construction, built in the USA.
Strong Locking Mechanism
Security Level 3 gun safes have a single-actuator locking mechanism. This is a simple but very effective locking mechanism that works well with both the standard UL-listed S&G 6741 mechanical lock and the optional upgraded SecuRam Safelogic TopLit® electronic lock.
Military-Style Locking Bars
Rather than traditional locking pins, Liberty’s gun safes feature our patented military-style locking bars. Security Level 3 safes like the Centurion feature multiple 4-inch military-style locking bars that are 3/16-inch thick placed on two sides of the safe’s door.
Hardplate Lock Guard
Lock guards prevent burglars from drilling into a safe’s locking mechanism. Liberty’s Security Level 3 safes feature a single RC63 hardplate that works to resist drill and punch attacks and keep thieves out.
What about Fire Protection?
Security is a major factor to consider when shopping for a safe. So is fire protection. Don’t assume a gun safe provides both. With a Liberty gun safe, you get security and superior fire protection.
A Centurion gun safe provides 30–40 minutes of fire protection at 1200°, depending on size, with:
• 1 layer of fireboard in the sides and door jambs
• 3 layers of fireboard in the door and ceiling
• Heat-activated, expanding Palusol™ door seal
Cost is a major factor when choosing a safe, but there’s no need to compromise security.
