TL 15 Safe model MV15-3020 from Hayman Safe. Is the third in line regarding sizes for their TL 15 safes. But before I jump in to deep. Let me tell you what TL 15 means. TL is from Underwriters Labratory and it gets its orgin from TooL . Then it gets the 15 from the amount of actual time a tool is spent working on the safe by an expert. It does NOT include time preping the safe (which can take several hours for some models), planning and stratagizing (which can take several days depending on model), and then time to rest, have coffee breaks, and lunch or continue more discussion on what they see or what was happening. Keep in mind there is a team working on it! So you see the 15 is very misleading regarding time spent working on the safe.
Now that you know what TL 15 stands for and what Underwriters Labratory is doing. Be reassured that if you purchase a TL 15 from Hayman Safe. You’ve bought a top notch safe!
The uses for TL 15 safes are varied. Zales Jewelry as well as other jewelery stores, Check Cashing Stores, Pawn Shops, Coin collectors, Numismatic dealers, and since 9-11 Homeland Security is uping the requirements for pharmacutical companies. Also the Buero of Firearms, Tobacco, and Alcohol are requiring many chemicals to be stored inside a TL 15 Fireproof Safe. Also, with the price of gold going up like a rocket, many homeowners have found a need top notch security that a TL15 Safe offers.
Back in January I sold one to a man that lived on an island in a remote area of the US. There was no bank on the island and no police. So he wanted the kind of protection a TL rated safe offers. Last I heard he has several hundred thousand dollars in gold bullion stored in it. …. Must be nice, real nice.
Back to the model in question. See the Dimensions below and a few of the details. Most are self explanatory. But I do get several inquires regarding what a “Full Length hinge side locking bar “ Which translated means there is more surface area from the door touching the wall of the safe where the hinge is. So you get much more protection than from just bolts. Its really a great engineering idea. I guess thats why Hayman Safe has such a good reputation when it comes to quality and design. Truely they produce some of the most unique and best designed safes available in the US. You can also purchase these from several online dealers such as VaultandSafe.com and ValueSafes.com.
But before I go, let me mention delivery on this unit. Most people have it shipped to a local moving company. Then let the moving company bring it inside their home or office. This is a very good cost saving idea and will not cost much in the long run. There is also “White glove delivery” which is a nationwide service. But they can be more expensive than contacting your local moving company.
