Reinforced Fire Doors:
Our new Reinforced Fire Door adds a layer
of fire protection to either the 3/8" or 1/4" solid steel plate, then
reinforces the door with an additional 10-gauge steel for added security
(30% thicker steel than composite type doors). This nearly doubles the
standard fire protection with temperatures to 1680° within 90 minutes.
Standard on the Yeager, Titan, Executive, Guardian and Vault Doors
Executive 8240 and 8240 In-Swing models.

Exterior Finish:
Fort
Knox has a very extensive preparation and multi-stage paint process and
uses only the finest professional auto paint available. Our
state-of-the-art paint facility includes a state-of-the-art oven to bake
on the paint for the most durable finish possible. Fort Knox is the
original author of the "Lifetime Paint Warranty."
Interiors:
Fort Knox has made an interior of your safe Rock Solid. With our
commitment to excellence, we don't just use glues and screws to adhere the
interiors to the inside of the safe. We stud weld the fire board and
shelving system to the metal interior. This means that your shelving
brackets are connected, all the way through, rock solid quality. Fort Knox
offers a synthetic carpet with a latex backing to insure resistance to
elements such as moisture, heat and excessive wear. Our interior can also
change with your needs. Our modular interior is again, flame resistant and
will not attract or retain moisture. The soft carpeted shelves and gun
racks provide protection for your guns and valuables and have an elegant
appearance.
Clutch
Driven Spinner Handle:
Our attractive, clutch-driven handles are designed to slip when
excessive force is applied to prevent damage and foil attacks.
Heavy
Gauge Steel and Double Reinforcing Welds:
Each Fort Knox safe uses American made
steel with up to 80,000 psi tensile strength-it's truly tuff stuff! All
welds are inspected to insure 100% penetration from the inside of the safe
to the outside. Then we reinforce the entire structure with additional
welds on the inside of the safe for optimum strength.
Reinforced Steel Liner:
For added security, Fort Knox offers an
optional 10 gauge steel liner, the thickest in the industry. By having a
thicker liner, a would-be burglar will have to attack twice. This will buy
twice the time and twice the security.
1½
Inch Locking Bolts & Star Corner Bolts:
Another first in the home and gun safe industry is our patented
Star Corner Bolts. This puts a gear-driven, one and a half inch diameter
locking bolt in each of the four corners of the door. This makes it
virtually impossible to peel the corners of the door. Again, Fort Knox
leads the industry in innovative design.
1¼ Certified Fire
Protection:
This
standard fire package has been tested and certified to keep the inside of
the safe under 350°F, while outside temperatures reach 1450°F in 50
minutes. We use two continuous layers of 5/8" UL listed, type "C"
fireboard insulation and a high temperature, heat sensitive expanding door
seal for optimum protection. You deserve to be certain-don't settle for
less!

Concealed Ball Bearing
Hinges:
Our hinges are
completely adjustable and tamperproof, without affecting our certified
fire protection, and adds maximum security as a dead bolt strap. The door
opens 100° for complete access to the interior yet prevents damage to
nearby furniture, wall or even the safe body itself.
Relockers:
FOIL, Fail-safe Operational Internal ReLocker, insures total
security. Even if the tumbler is destroyed, your vault will remain tightly
locked.
Multi
Bearing Hardplate:
Again, technical innovation in this application offers more
security than raw weight. Hard plate will only slow down a drilling
attempt. Multi bearings recessed into critical areas of the hard plate
will virtually stop the drilling attempt. Fort Knox goes the extra mile to
insure security.
Locking Mechanism:
Fort Knox uses only the finest lock
available. Sargent & Greenleaf (S&G) has set the standard in
combination locks for over 133 years. Optional locks include the new
electronic, digital key pad lock. The electronic lock offers push-button
ease with maximum security. It offers up to one million potential
combinations and it automatically deactivates when four wrong codes are
entered. In addition, all locks have passed rigid examination by
Underwriters Laboratories.
Rack & Pinion Gear Drive Locking
Mechanism:
Here is
where a good comparison should come in. Our patented rack & pinion,
bank-type locking mechanism is the most technically sophisticated and
reliable locking system available. Most of the finer new cars manufactured
today use rack & pinion steering because it is a stronger, more
precise positive and maintenance-free system. We have also added a clutch
to the handle to prevent damage from undue force on the
handle.
Uni-Body
Construction:
The
Quadrafold door frame has been designed to be the strongest in the
industry, providing superior strength in every situation. We have found
that a Uni-body construction retains the natural strength of the steel. We
have strategically folded the edge around the door making it the most
secure body available and giving the door a deep recessed seat to make it
virtually impossible to pry. The technical innovation offered by Fort Knox
will give more security than raw weight.
Lifetime Warranty:
Fort Knox offers the most extensive
warranty in the industry. Not only does it cover burglary, burglary
attempts, fire, flood and incidental damage, it also covers the lock and
paint, two items usually excluded by other manufacturers. So, compare our
warranty to the competition - there is a difference! See our written
warranty for complete details
With an industry standard being
set by the largest non-profit, consumer protection organization,
Underwriters Laboratory, you get peace of mind in knowing that Fort Knox
is one of only a handful that have passed their rigorous testing. We
do this so you can be certain that your guns, family heirlooms, coin and
card collections, legal papers, investment records, photo albums, cameras,
house-hold inventory and sentimental items will be safe. |
