Here is the key to unlocking the multitude
of letters and numbers used to rate safes.
- The B, or burglary, ratings are followed by numbers
indicating the number of minutes it takes for the bad
guys to break through different thicknesses of steel used
in safe walls.
- TL ratings relate to tool resistance and subsequent
numbers tell you how long the walls will resist a burglar's
tools.
- A TR rating relates to a safe's ability to resist a
burglar's torch.
- An X in the rating lets you know that all sides of
the safe are equally resistant to intruders. Thus, a safe
rated TLTR15X6 will withstand both tools and torches for
15 minutes on any of its six faces.
- Fire ratings indicate the length of time a box safe
can keep its contents at safe temperatures in different
fire conditions.
