60-Minute UL Fire Rating at 1700°F: The Wall Safe That Disappears Between Studs
For homeowners who want fire-protected hidden storage for documents, passports, jewelry, and irreplaceable items — without a freestanding safe taking up closet floor space — the AMSEC WFS149E5LP is one of the only wall safes on the market with a UL-certified 60-minute fire rating at 1700°F. Weighing 104 lbs with a 2.125” steel body and a ½” thick door, it fits flush into a standard 16” o/c stud bay and conceals completely behind a picture frame or panel.
Engineering & Security
- ½” thick pry-resistant door: Recessed into the wall frame so the lock and handle sit flush with the drywall surface, allowing a painting or decorative panel to conceal the safe completely.
- Four-bolt locking mechanism: Two live ½” steel locking bolts plus two solid steel deadbolts on the hinge side resist pry attacks at all four securing points.
- 2.125” steel body with stud-bay fit: Structural resistance significantly thicker than typical residential wall-safe bodies; designed to slide between standard 16” o/c wall studs.
- Built-in flange and anchor holes: The pre-drilled flange covers the drywall cut-out cleanly; direct bolt-to-stud fastening requires no additional hardware or replastering.
- ESL5LP electronic lock: UL-listed Type 1 electronic lock with illuminated keypad; exterior battery compartment allows replacement without opening the safe.
Fire Protection & Interior
- UL 60-minute fire rating at 1700°F: Interior temperature stays below 350°F during testing — paper chars at 450°F — protecting documents, passports, photos, and jewelry through a full residential fire.
- Proprietary fire clay fill: AMSEC’s fire-resistant material lines the 2.125” body, providing thermal insulation without the bulk that prevents most wall safes from achieving any fire rating.
- 15.25”H × 9.75”W × 9.88”D interior (0.85 cu ft): Includes one drawer shelf for organized storage of documents, small valuables, and media — deeper than most wall safes of comparable external size.
Ideal Buyer & Use Cases
The WFS149E5LP is built for homeowners who want concealed fire protection for documents, passports, jewelry, and small valuables — and specifically need the safe to disappear. At 19.5”H × 14”W × 15.375”D and 104 lbs, it installs between standard wall studs in a bedroom, office, or closet and sits completely hidden behind a painting or panel. The UL 60-minute fire rating at 1700°F makes it one of the few wall safes that can credibly protect paper documents in a typical residential fire. It ships with an ESL5LP electronic lock and is backed by AMSEC’s 1-year parts and labor warranty.
