MV30-2016, the MV stands for Magna Vault. This is the smallest model in the TL 30 line of safes that you may consider when it comes time for meeting the needs of the High Security Safe. Not everyone needs one. Normally this is reserved for jewelry stores, pawn shops, check cashing stores, credit unions, and people that are paranoid about the U. S. Banking system. (Yes, there are quite a few of you that call us on a regular basis, especially since Bear Sterns bailout)
I have to say this is the “Best of the Best” in regards to safes. UL (underwriters labratory) has given this one their seal of approval. One and a half hours of fireproof material all around. TooL (note the large T and large L for TL) rated against an attack for 30 mins. Now 30 mins doesn’t seem like a long time for protection against a theft attack. But I can tell you this is 30 mins against ANYONE getting into it. That anyone is someone that has all the proper tools and the know how on how to get into it. Which translated means that UL has a stop watch that they start and stop when a tool is being used on the safe. It does not include time it takes to prep the safe to start working (which can take as long as 30 mins) or breaks to discuss what has happened. They stop the watch often to look at schematics and check on thier progress. So this 30 min time period is actually a MUCH longer period of time. Personally I have seen one of the best locksmith take about 2 hours and myself, with years of training, take as many 5 hours.
A normall or intelligent theif doesn’t stand a chance. You could even leave the tools next to the safe with a set of instructions and they still would not be able to get into it. However, they might scratch the paint.
Most like the electronic locks but some still use “bump proof” dial locks. If you a government regulated industry such as a drug manufacturer you will want the keypad for it is not vulnerable to “radiological attacts”. This will meet that requirement.
Now, are you ready for some bad news? If this needs repair or service you may have a difficult time finding a locksmith to work on it in remote rural areas. However, they can call Hayman. |
The best part of this is that its made by the Hayman Safes Corporation in Florida. So help is only a phone call away. Please note that there are imports of TL rated safes that may be cheaper. But you will be left in the cold when it comes time for service work! TL rated safes are made to last for generations. They will need service work! Hayman is here in the good ol’ US of A. |
Which brings me to a story of a local pawn shop that had one of these in use. They were remodeling the store so the safe was empty as well as the store. The owner put a note on the front of the safe stating the safe was empty. But someone attempted to break into it. Fired the relockers and broke off the dial. The safe was an import from Brazil that was no longer being imported or made. I talked with several locksmiths in the state as well as Lockmasters (wholesale lock maker and museum) they all had heard of the safe but nobody had any type of drill points or suggestions on how to get into it. So it was hauled off for scrap metal! The safe was worth thousands of dollars but if you can’t get help and support, it becomes a great anchor for a boat. My point is, stay in the US when it comes to all high security safes. You will be happy when it comes time to get it serviced.
