Overview
The Gardall 2218-2 stands as the only safe on the market earning both a UL 2 Hour Fire Rating and a UL RSC Burglary Rating — a dual certification that sets it apart from virtually every competitor. Hand-built in Syracuse, New York by skilled craftspeople using techniques refined since 1950, this safe represents the pinnacle of American-made security.
The UL 2 Hour Fire Rating is among the most demanding certifications available. Safes are heated to 1850°F for two hours, dropped from 30 feet to simulate structural collapse, then reheated — all while maintaining an interior temperature below 350°F. Gardall achieves this through a proprietary poured insulation mix refined over decades, unlike competitors relying on basic fireboard or sheetrock.
Against burglary, the UL RSC certification confirms this safe withstands a skilled technician armed with technical drawings and hand tools for a minimum of five minutes. Spinning bolt technology, drill-deflecting shields, heat-treated hardplate armor, and a 4¼-inch recessed anti-pry door combine to create an exceptionally formidable barrier.
Available with a dial combination or electronic keypad lock, this safe also features adjustable soft-touch shelving, a lifetime replacement guarantee, and individually tuned doors — making it as practical as it is protective.
