Hollon has introduced a new UL rated 1 hour fireproof home safe, the Hollon LC-53J. This is a smaller safe that is perfect for valuable papers and other small valuables. The LC-53J measures 20-7/8″ x 18-1/8″ x 18-1/8″ on the outside, and 15-3/8″ x 12″ x 12-3/8″ on the inside. It comes with a pull-out drawer (storage shelf) at the top and an adjustable/removable shelf below. The safe features a secure combination dial locking mechnism controlling 4 active round locking bolts. There is 1 bolt hole drilled into the bottom of the safe for bolting the safe to the floor. The UL rating of the LC-53J uses a higher standard than other ratings — the safe has been tested to withstand an 1850 degree F fire for a period of 1 hour, without the temperature inside the safe rising above 350 degrees F. This is a low enough temperature to ensure that your papers and small valuables remain intact in the event of a fire.
The LC-53J features seamless construction — the outer steel layer, inner steel layer and door are all seamless. This eliminates the weak spots (welded seams) associated with safes constructed using seams. The LC-53J also uses true composite construction — it is constructed using a solid steel outer layer, a solid steel inner layer, and sandwiched in between is a layer of concrete-like fireproofing material that allows the safe to pass the UL 1 hour fireproof test. All in all an excellent small home safe at a very reasonable price. For more information about the LC-53J, visit the following link: LC-53J 1 hour fireproof home safe.
