Fire/Security Ratings – A Fire/Security thermometer has been added to make it easier to compare the level of protection Browning safes provide in these two important areas. The “F” indicates fire protection and the “S” indicates security level. Higher numbers mean better protection. Reinforced Door Frame – The door opening of the safe, strengthened by U-shaped steel channels, is welded around the entire perimeter to create added pry and attack resistance.
       
Force Deflector™ Locking System – The Force Deflector Locking System (patent pending) prevents bolt or handle forces from reaching the lock by using a rotating cam device. It prevents energy transfer to the lock better than most systems used in the safe industry. 180° Heavy Duty Hinges – Rugged hinges are machined from solid steel bar stock for strength. The hinges allow the door to swing open 180° for unhindered access to the safe interior. Hinge-side locking bolts maintain full security even if the
hinges are cut off.
       
Uni-Force™ Locking System – Browning’s best locking mechanism uses robust cam locks and a large, multiple diversion bar system to prevent bolt or handle pressure from reaching the lock. Forces go to the cams and diversion bars, not the lock, for protection unmatched by other locking systems.
 UL Security Container rating – The industry standard test and rating for home/personal safes. Requires minimum construction specifications and passing an actual laboratory attack test. Premium Browning safes far exceed the minimum requirements for the UL Residential Security (Tool Attack) listing.
       
1" Formed Door – The 1" Formed Door is engineered with a rugged steel face, back, and reinforcement panels to provide excellent strength and attack protection compared to the competition. Locking Bolts (variable size) – The rugged steel pieces that move behind the door frame to actually hold the safe door locked and closed. Bigger bolts, and more of them, provide greater security.
       
Duo-Formed® Door – Browning/ProSteel’s best safe door is formed from multiple layers of steel, carefully formed together to provide superior strength, pry-resistance and attack protection. Full second panel for outstanding strength. Door face is 15⁄16" thick. Duo-Plus™ Interior – Browning/ProSteel’s patent pending safe interior that increases long gun capacity and makes all of the long guns easier to access using an innovative door-mounted long gun rack.
       
OmniBarrier® Lock Protection System –
A carefully engineered structure of steel hardplate and steel components designed to protect the safe lock from drill, punch, and push attacks.		 Body Thickness (variable measure) – The thickness of the steel that comprises the safe body. A smaller gauge number means thicker steel, which provides more security than thinner steel. Browning’s thickest safe body is 3⁄16" (on Platinum Plus safes) and this specification is not shown in gauge measurement.
       
Light Package / Mirror – The interior light package includes two light modules to illuminate the safe interior. A mirror covers the top half of the rear wall of the safe. Combined they make the safe interior appear more spacious and easier to find items in the safe. DPX System - The patented Duo-Plus Extra Storage System is the most versatile Browning ProSteel safe interior. It includes a rack to store long guns on the door back. There is also a variety of pouches and pockets to store other valuables on the door back.
       
Fire Rating (variable time) – A laboratory measurement of time and temperature (in Fahrenheit) used to compare the relative amount of fire-resistance provided by a safe. A Browning/ProSteel safe with a longer fire rating time provides more fire protection than a safe with a shorter time. Drill Resistant Deflector Plate – A hardened steel plate strategically positioned at an angle in some Browning safes to cause drill bits to bend or break, providing additional protection for the lock.
       
Bolt Direction (variable size) – Better safes have locking bolts extending from all four sides of the door for extra resistance to pry attack. Safes with bolts on three sides have them on both sides of the door and on the top edge. Layers of Insulation – The most important factor in fire protection is the total thickness of the insulation in the safe. More insulation means more protection from fire. Browning ProSteel safes use 1/2" thick gypsum panels, so the number of layers multiplied by 1/2" shows the total insulation thickness in inches.
       
Learn More Pry-Stop End Bolts – Pry-Stop Corner Bolts provide better protection than other pry-defense designs. Innovative long locking bolts extend diagonally from a reinforced support at the corners of the door to protect against pry attack at the vulnerable corner areas.
