AMSEC EST916

B-Rate steel chest with audit-trail electronic lock

For homes, offices, or RVs that need real theft resistance in a small footprint, the AMSEC EST916 from the EST series pairs heavy 14-gauge solid steel with a B-Rate burglary build. Its pry-resistant recessed door and internal hinges resist tampering, while the DL6000 electronic lock adds spy-proof entry and an access log of the last 14 openings.

Compact and easy to place, the EST916 measures 9 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 13.25 inches deep and weighs just 27 pounds, with an interior of 8.18 by 15.18 by 11.125 inches. That gives you roughly 0.9 cubic feet of secured space, enough for documents, jewelry, cash, or a handgun on a shelf, in a drawer, or bolted into a closet.

Engineering & Security

• ✓14-gauge solid steel body and door: Heavy single-gauge steel construction earns the EST series its B-Rate burglary classification and resists casual prying and impact.
• ✓Pry-resistant recessed door: The recessed door seats inside the body with internal hinges, removing exposed edges and pins that thieves typically attack.
• ✓Dual live locking bolts: Two heavy-gauge live-action bolts secure the door, holding it shut even under leverage attempts.
• ✓DL6000 electronic lock: Bounce-proof electronic lock accepts two user codes and logs the last 14 openings, with a built-in spy-proof function and motion-detector alert.
• ✓Anchor hardware standard: Pre-drilled holes in the base and back wall let you bolt the 27-pound safe to a floor or stud so it cannot be carried off.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: This is a burglary security chest, not a fire safe; store irreplaceable paper records in a separate fire-rated container.

Quick Access & Daily Use

• ✓Large LCD display: The keypad screen shows time, date, and a low-battery indicator, and shifts from orange in standby to blue when open.
• ✓Emergency key override: Two override keys and a power-override battery box keep the safe accessible if the electronics or batteries ever fail.
• ✓Carpeted base interior: A carpeted bottom cushions jewelry, watches, and firearms against scratching during everyday access.
• ✓Compact placement: At 9 by 16 by 13.25 inches and 27 pounds, it fits closets, cabinets, desks, and RV compartments without permanent construction.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The EST916 suits homeowners, small-business owners, and RV travelers who want B-Rate steel protection and electronic access for a modest collection of valuables. Measuring 9 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 13.25 inches deep at 27 pounds, it bolts down easily and disappears into a closet or cabinet.
