Company

Founded in 1988, Liberty Safe began operating out of a single storage unit. Over the past 30 years, the company has grown from a small facility to a 205,000 square foot facility in Payson, Utah, and can produce more than 500 safes a day. As of 2018, they claim to have sold over 2 million safes during this first 30 years of operation.[5] Liberty Safe employs over 350 people.[6]

Liberty Safe manufactures and markets gun safes (for gun safety), home safes, commercial safes (including depository safes), fire safes and related accessories. Liberty Safe manufactures and sells products having the Liberty Safe, National Security, Centurion and Freedom Security[7] brands. Other private label brands include Cabela's,[8] Remington,[9] and John Deere.[2][10] The larger capacity safes ( 20 cubic feet (570 L) and above) are made in their Payson, Utah USA facility, while some of the more compact safes are made in China. Liberty Safes are tested by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), achieving UL certification and given Residential Security Container (RSC) certifications by UL.[11]

Liberty Safe has developed home safe technology, including its patent-pending military-style locking bar technology. Rather than relying on steel round pins (common with other safe manufacturers), Liberty Safe developed these locking bars to reduce the potential weak point round pins have where they’re attached to a locking bar using rivets. These rivet points can be sometimes be pried open by thieves. Liberty’s locking bars are one solid piece of heavy-duty steel, therefore increasing strength and durability.

Liberty has created a series of “Torture Tests,” which apply pressure, water, fire, and even explosives to prove the durability of its products.

Liberty Safe bases its fire testing on standards developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).[12] Liberty Safe fire testing includes certifying products for a high degree of heat over a long period of time. Other brands may certify up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, but testing begins at a cooler temperature, only reaching a high degree of heat for a few minutes at the end of testing. In contrast, Liberty ensures safes are certified for both time and heat, mimicking the conditions of a true disaster more closely.

Liberty Safe primarily designs and manufactures gun, home, fire and commercial safes. Not only does the company manufacture under the Liberty Safe name, but also the National Security, Fatboy, and Colt Brands. Working with brands like Cabela’s and John Deere, Liberty has also licensed its cutting-edge technology for private labels. Liberty Safe proudly manufactures all of its full-sized safes in the United States*, while some compact safes are manufactured in China or Korea. The company creates safes that bear the Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) certification for Residential Security Containers (RSC).

In July of 2018, Liberty Safe was recognized by the White House and invited to its “Made in America” event.[13] CEO and President Steve Allred, along with the Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Justin Buck, both attended. The two showcased Liberty’s Presidential 50, the company’s top-of-the-line safe.[14]

Liberty Safe actively develops new technology in the home and commercial security sector and has invested over $30 million in safe tech. Some notable developments include heat-expanding fire seals, double relocking features, slip-clutch handles, fire testing, and robotic welding booths. The high-tech facility in Payson, Utah is known throughout the industry for being one of the foremost safe development facilities in the United States.

While primarily sold in the U.S., Liberty Safe works with independent distributors throughout the world, including those in Canada, Great Britain, Belgium, Iceland, Norway, and Kazakhstan. Liberty Safes are sold at sporting goods, home improvement, and farming equipment stores, as well as locksmith and specialty retailers, including a large number of independent Liberty Safe distributors. 

Liberty Safe offers a free transferable lifetime warranty on their UL rated safes that includes replacement of the safe in case of fire, or attempted break in.[15][16]

Liberty Safe products are sold through independent dealers and retailers throughout the United States and other countries including Belgium, Canada, Great Britain, Iceland, Kazakhstan, and Norway.[17] These dealers range from full service safe dealerships to locksmiths, home improvement, sporting goods, farm equipment, and other various retailers and businesses.[4][18][19]
