Most people shopping safes for the first time will look at the available selection and wonder what makes these metal boxes different from one another. They all have one task and that is to protect valuables and assets from burglary and fire. Most manufacturers will look the same at first glance inside and out. However, Liberty Safes will stand out compared to their competitors.
For starters, Liberty Safes are made domestically in Pason, Utah (with the exception of their Home and Premium Home series). Most other manufacturers of residential safes have their products made elsewhere like China, Vietnam, Mexico, or South Korea. If you pay close attention, you can see and sometimes, even smell the difference between a US-made safe and an imported safe. Most imported safes will come shipped on a metal pallet or metal feet and will have a very odd smell that is hard to describe. Liberty Safes and other US-made safes will be shipped on a wooden pallet and have a similar smell to a new car. See and smell the difference for yourself the next time you come across a safe.
Liberty Safes also feature their military-style locking bars instead of the round bolts found on any other manufacturer. These bars are made from a single solid piece of forged steel. They cover a larger surface area of contact inside the body of the safe as well extend deeper than compared to safes with round bolts. These bars make it near impossible to pry the door open. No, you do not have to try this for yourself to find out, Liberty Safe has a video on their YouTube Channel demonstrating the strength of their locking bars.
The next time you are out looking for a safe, see if you can guess at first glance if it’s made in the US or made overseas. Check out the workmanship and quality of the safe, and make sure it doesn’t have a chemical stench to it.
