VERIFIED PROTECTION RATINGS:
UL RSC burglary plus 60-minute fire: serious 45-gun storage
Built for collectors who need both pry resistance and fire protection, the Gardall BGF-7242-B-C is a USA-made firelined gun safe carrying a UL-tested RSC burglary label and a 60-minute fire rating tested to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. It also meets the California DOJ firearm-storage standard, holds up to 45 long guns, and ships with a U.L. Group II spyproof dial.
This is a full-height safe: 72 inches tall, 42 inches wide, and 27.5 inches deep, with a roomy 68.5 by 39 by 21-inch interior, and it weighs 882 pounds. Add three inches of depth for the five-spoke handle when planning placement. The scale suits a long-gun collection plus a full-length door organizer for pistols and ammunition.
Engineering & Security
- UL-tested RSC burglary label: The body carries a UL Residential Security Container rating, verifying tested resistance to common hand-tool and pry entry attempts.
- 1/4-inch steel door, 11-gauge body: A quarter-inch plate door over an 11-gauge steel body resists prying and forced entry across the safe's perimeter.
- Nine active 1-1/2-inch bolts: Three-way locking drives nine inch-and-a-half bolts, plus three deadbolts on the hinge side to defeat pry attacks.
- U.L. Group II spyproof dial: The standard mechanical dial is a U.L. Group II lock; an S&G electronic lock is available as a factory option for faster access.
- California DOJ compliant: Meets or exceeds the California Department of Justice firearm-safe standard, suiting buyers who must satisfy state storage requirements.
- Four floor anchor holes: Pre-drilled bottom anchor points let you bolt the 882-pound safe to a slab, which the manufacturer strongly recommends.
Fire Protection & Interior
- 60-minute fire rating: Tested to withstand 1400 degrees Fahrenheit for 60 minutes, protecting firearms and documents during a structure fire.
- Two layers of 1/2-inch fireboard: Dual half-inch UL-rated fireboard layers line the body and door to slow interior heat rise.
- Intumescent door seal: A U.L.-approved door seal expands up to seven times its size when heated, helping block smoke and hot gases.
- 45 long-gun capacity: Holds up to 45 rifles without scopes, giving serious collectors room to consolidate a full battery.
- Full-length door organizer: A premium full-length door organizer adds standard storage for pistols and ammunition along the inside of the door.
Ideal Buyer & Use Cases
The BGF-7242-B-C fits the collector who wants UL-rated burglary and fire protection in one American-made cabinet. At 72 by 42 by 27.5 inches and 882 pounds, with a 45-gun capacity, it anchors a dedicated gun room or large closet where both theft and fire are real concerns.
Need less capacity? The Gardall BGF-6040-B-C and BGF-6030-B-C are shorter siblings in the same firelined series, and the BGF-6024-B-C is the most compact full-height option. For a handful of long guns plus a pistol, step down to the GS-2522-G-C.
