FAQ
What is the difference between the 1-hour and 2-hour fire rated versions?
The 1-hour model (LD724228 - Heavy Duty) uses 12-gauge steel and a 4 7/8" composite door with three fireboard layers, weighing 892 lbs. The 2-hour model (HD724228 - Extreme Duty) upgrades to 9-gauge steel, a 5 1/8" composite door with four fireboard layers plus an added fire barrier, and a 1/4" solid steel door plate, weighing 1,250 lbs. If you're storing highly valuable firearms or irreplaceable documents, the 2-hour model offers an additional layer of confidence.
How is this safe delivered?
The LD724228 weighs 892 lbs. and ships via freight carrier with a lift gate service included. The lift gate lowers the safe from the truck to ground level. You will need to arrange for it to be moved into your home or facility - a professional safe mover or appliance dolly is recommended. Please email service@omahasportsandgames.com to confirm delivery details and get an estimated arrival window.
What does "EMP-proof keypad" mean and why does it matter?
An EMP (electromagnetic pulse) can disable standard electronic keypads, potentially locking you out of your safe during an emergency. Steelwater's EMP-proof keypad is designed to remain functional even if exposed to an EMP event. The included double-bitted emergency bypass key provides an additional mechanical backup so you're never locked out.
Can I bolt this safe to the floor?
Yes. The LD724228 includes four pre-drilled 7/16" anchor holes that are reinforced with 1/4" steel plate for a more secure anchor point. Wood and concrete anchor kits are available as optional add-ons. Anchoring is strongly recommended to prevent tipping and to deter theft.
Does the safe really hold 45 long guns?
The maximum stated capacity is 45 long guns (15 per section across the three-section rack). However, the average recommended capacity is 33-39 guns, depending on the size and configuration of your firearms - scoped rifles and shotguns with larger stocks will occupy more space. The 8 adjustable/removable shelves also allow you to reconfigure the interior based on your storage needs.
Is assembly required?
No. The safe arrives fully assembled. Once it's in position, you simply need to program your access code, install the battery, and optionally anchor it to the floor.
