The AMSEC home security safe offers an unbeatable value, featuring a gray fabric interior including back-cover and firewalls.

The AMSEC AM4020E5 Home Security Safe features a fire rating of 45 minutes, which means it will withstand an exterior heat temperature of 1200 for 45 minutes without the interior temperature exceeded 350 degrees F. This is not bad for a home safe in this price range. The exterior paint is the traditional Amsec deep blue textured finish and a raised American Security logo in black nickel hardware on the door. The 3 interior shelves are a gray fabric and add both function and beauty to the interior. We have also included a gray fabric interior including the back cover that adds to the beauty as well. Along with the blue textured finish, the AMSEC Model AM4020E5 home security safe has external hinges that provide complete access to the interior and allow the door to be opened a full 180 degrees. There is an "L" shaped handle on the door. These features provide a handsome look that will compliment any trophy room or den.

For security, the Amsec AM4020E5 home security safe includes a 12 gauge solid steel shell with a 1-1/8" door that is recessed. The door thickness includes 1/4" solid steel with the balance of fire insulating material.  Also featured are 5 active 1-1/4" bolts in a three-way configuration along with the ESL5 electronic lock with illuminated keypad standard.
