What Should You Know About Purchasing Fireproof Gunsafe?

2023 07/27

The concept behind a fireproof gunsafe is simple. In addition to a steel outer wall, manufacturers include some sort of insulating layer that is designed to keep the internal temperature of the safe as low as possible for as long as possible. They also commonly include a door gasket that is intended to expand as it heats up, protecting the contents of the storage gun safe not only from hot air currents and smoke damage but from the hundreds to thousands of gallons of water your local fire department will hopefully be dumping on your home.


The steel wall, insulating layer, and gasket work together to prolong the inevitable. Barring the creation of a perfect vacuum, the interior temperature of the safe will eventually equalize with the exterior temperature when subjected to heat. The average house fire can see temperatures as high as 1200-1500° Fahrenheit, which is more than enough to destroy the furniture and optics on your firearms, and the fire can rage anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. Proximity to a fire department, size of the home, home construction materials, and the type of fire all affect these variables.

Safe manufacturers look at these variables of temperature and time when they rate the fire resistance of their safes. 1200-1700° for a certain period of time (30 minutes, 90 minutes, 2 hours, etc) is usually how the fire rating is expressed, with customers paying more for a safe that is rated for higher temperatures and longer timeframes.

All of this is simple in theory. If you`re looking to buy a fireproof gunsafe for home, you should be able to set a budget and then buy a safe with the longest time rating at the highest temperature that you can afford.
