VERIFIED PROTECTION RATINGS:
B-rate money chest inside a 2-hour fire safe
For owners who want cash and valuables guarded against both forced entry and fire, the Gardall Z-1812 Combination Security Fire & Burglary Chest pairs a B-rate burglary money chest with a 2-hour fire body rated to 1850°F. This safe-in-a-safe design adds an inner B-rated chest behind the outer fire-resistant shell, secured by a U.L. listed Group II combination lock and built in the USA.
At 25 inches high, 17.25 inches wide and 19.75 inches deep externally, the Z-1812 weighs 365 pounds and offers a protected inner chest with roughly 9.75 by 11 by 8 inches of usable space. The compact footprint suits a closet, office, or back room while still delivering layered burglary and fire protection in a single unit.
Engineering & Security
- B-rate inner money chest: An inner B-rated burglary chest sits behind the fire body, giving cash and small valuables a dedicated forced-entry barrier within the larger safe.
- Three-way boltwork: Top, bottom, and side bolts automatically lock in place if a relocking device is triggered, resisting punching and hammering attacks.
- U.L. listed Group II lock: The combination lock carries a U.L. Group II rating with a built-in relocking device; an electronic push-button option is also offered.
- Drill-stop hard plate: A hardplate over the lock protects against drilling attempts on the door, a common entry method on lower-grade safes.
- Anti-pry door design: Interlocking bolts extend into the body and a full-length locking bar on the hinge side deter forced entry by hinge removal.
- Made in the USA: Gardall manufactures this chest domestically, supporting consistent build quality and parts availability.
Fire Protection & Interior
- 2-hour fire rating: The outer body is insulated to withstand exposure of 1850°F for up to two hours, shielding the inner chest and contents from heat.
- Fire-resistant fill: A fire-resistant insulating material packs the outer walls and door to slow heat transfer during a structure fire.
- Protected inner volume: The inner chest provides about 9.75 by 11 by 8 inches of space, sized for cash, documents, jewelry, and small valuables.
- Layered protection: Combining the fire body with a B-rated inner chest lets one unit address both burglary and fire risk together.
Ideal Buyer & Use Cases
The Z-1812 fits homeowners and small businesses that need to protect cash, jewelry, and important papers from both theft and fire in a single compact unit, measuring 25 by 17.25 by 19.75 inches externally and weighing 365 pounds.
Buyers wanting more interior room can step up to the Gardall Z-1818 or larger Z-2218 and Z-3018 chests in the same series; the standard 1812-2 burglar and fire safe is a lower-cost alternative without the inner safe-in-a-safe chest.
