Winchester Legacy Gun Safes
Legacymakes an excellent line of gun safes. They use a 4-way active bolt like the ones found on jeweler’s safes. A 4-way active bolt means that the bolts on the top, hinge side, opening side and bottom are all active – they move into position when the safe locks. Many gun safes don’t even have a locking bolt on the hinge side. Legacy gun safes also use 1-1/2 inch locking bolts as compared to 1 inch bolts on other gun safes.
Legacy gun safes carry a 1 hour 1200 degree F fireproof rating. This means that the safe has been tested to withstand a 1200 degree F fire for a period of 1 hour, and that the temperature inside the safe did not rise above 350 degrees F. This is a low enough temperature to keep from permanently damaging your guns. In addition, during the test the humidity inside the safe is measured to make sure that it does not rise above 80 degrees F. This is to protect your guns from damage due to the water and chemicals used to put out a fire.
Other features of Legacy gun safes include a 3-layer insulated door and body, as many as 18-1-1/2 inch locking bolts and a Palusol door seal. Legacy safes are built using 12-gauge steel, use a UL-rated electronic lock, and have a 5-spoke vault handle. They use a convertible interior, which lets you choose the configuration that best meets your storage needs.
