American Security (Amsec) Safes
As far as safe manufacturers go, American Security, also known as Amsec, is a juggernaut in the industry. They began operation in 1948 in a small California building with one man, Glenn Hall, at the helm. They now have over 400 employees and produce over 60,000 safes per year from their 150,000 square foot Florida facility, making them one of the biggest safe companies in the world.
Through the years they’ve relied on quality and innovation to compete amongst the best, and have consequently become one of the most recognizable names on the market with an extensive product line that includes gun safes, home safes, hotel safes, wall safes, floor safes, commercial safes, vault doors, and almost every other type of safe or security product you could think of.
What They Bring to the Table
In order to remain on the cutting edge of the industry they put each of their new designs through some of the most rigorous testing. In addition to extensive in-house testing they also use various independent agencies to thoroughly test their products in everything from temperature and humidity, to durability and security. This includes testing from Underwriters Laboratory, North America’s leader in fire safety testing, certification, and research. In fact, any safe, no matter the brand, that carries the UL mark should be considered to have the highest standard in industry fire safety. And just to make sure American Security’s highest of quality standards have been met, no safe reaches the market without first having undergone a 28-point inspection.
