Exterior Finish
Fort Knox has a very extensive preparation and multi-stage paint process available. Our state-of-the-art paint facility includes a huge oven to actually bake on the paint for the most durable finish possible. Fort Knox is the original author of the "Lifetime Paint Warranty".

Interior
For Knox has made an interior that can change with your needs. It's completely changeable. Our modular interior is flame retardant 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. Fort Knox offers a recycled synthetic carpet with a latex backing to insure resistance to elements such as moisture, heat and excessive wear.

Clutch Drive 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.

One 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 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.

1 1/4" 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 exceed 1200°F for 30 minutes. Beware of companies that claim material ratings rather than actual safe testing or claims of up to or raising to 1200°-this is a minimum at Fort Knox. We use two continuous layers of 5/8" UL listed, type "C" fire-board insulation and a high temperature silicone door seal for optimum protection. You deserve to be certain; don't settle for less!

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.

Concealed Ball Bearing Hinges
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.

Ball Bearing Hardplate
Again, technical innovation in this application offers more security than raw weight. Hard plate will only slow down a drilling attempt. Ball 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.

Lifetime Warranty
Fort Knox offers the most extensive warranty available. Our warranty covers locks, paint, burglary, burglary attempts, fire, flood and accidental damage for the lifetime of the original purchaser. See our written warranty for complete details and compare to the competition-there is a difference.

Rack & Pinion Gear Drive Locking Mechanism
Here's where a good comparison should come in. Our patented rack and 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 and 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.
