VERIFIED PROTECTION RATINGS:
UL 2-hour fire and RSC burglary protection, American-made
Built for homeowners and small businesses guarding cash, documents, and jewelry against both fire and theft, the Gardall 2218-2 from the brand's 2-Hour Fire & Burglary Series carries a UL Residential Security Container burglary rating and a UL 2-hour fire label furnace-tested to 1850 degrees F. It is made in the USA with a 4-1/4-inch door and 2-1/2-inch walls.
This is a substantial freestanding safe at 525 pounds, measuring 29.25 inches high, 23.25 inches wide, and 25.75 inches deep on the outside. The interior offers 22 inches of height, 18 inches of width, and 17.75 inches of depth, roughly two cubic feet of usable space for files, binders, small valuables, and a removable shelf.
Engineering & Security
- UL Residential Security Container rating: The body and door earn UL's RSC burglary listing, verifying tool-attack resistance for guarding valuables against forced entry.
- 4-1/4-inch thick door: A recessed anti-pry door design resists leverage attacks at the seam where forced-entry attempts typically begin.
- 2-1/2-inch thick walls: Heavy composite body construction adds mass and drilling resistance around the entire protected interior.
- UL-listed Group II lock: Choose a UL-listed Group II high-security lock in mechanical dial or electronic keypad form to match your access preference.
- Independent re-locker and hardplate: Backup relocking and a drill-resistant hardplate defend the locking mechanism if the lock is attacked.
- Shear-point handle: The solid chrome-plated handle is engineered to break away under a handle attack rather than transferring force to the bolts.
Fire Protection & Interior
- UL 2-hour fire label: Independently UL-tested for two hours of fire protection, the highest residential fire duration Gardall lists for this series.
- 1850 degrees F furnace test: During UL testing the interior stayed below 350 degrees F while the furnace reached 1850 degrees F, protecting paper documents.
- Fire-resistant fill: A poured fire-resistant material fills the door and body to insulate contents through extended heat exposure.
- Interior locking panel: A steel locking panel on the door adds a secured compartment for jewelry and smaller valuables behind the main door.
- Removable door for placement: The door can be removed to ease moving and positioning of this 525-pound safe during installation.
Ideal Buyer & Use Cases
The Gardall 2218-2 suits a home or business owner who wants verified dual protection in one freestanding unit, with UL RSC burglary resistance and a UL 2-hour fire label rather than a single-purpose box. At 29.25 by 23.25 by 25.75 inches and 525 pounds, it holds about two cubic feet for documents, cash, and jewelry.
If you need less capacity, the smaller Gardall 1818-2 or 1812-2 cover the same series ratings at a lower price; for more room, step up to the 3018-2 or the larger 3620. Buyers wanting a chest-style format can also compare the Gardall Z-2218 Combination Security Fire & Burglary Chest.
