VERIFIED PROTECTION RATINGS:
UL 2-hour fire and B-rate burglary protection, built in USA
Built for owners who want both fire and theft protection in one unit, the Gardall Z-2218 from the 2-Hour Fire & Burglary Series pairs a UL-listed 2-hour (120-minute) fire rating with B-rate burglary construction and a UL Residential Security Container label. Furnace-tested to 1850°F and hand-built in Syracuse, USA, it carries a UL Group II combination lock as standard.
This is a substantial 645-pound chest measuring 29.25 inches high by 23.25 inches wide by 25.75 inches deep on the outside, with a main interior of 12.5 inches high by 17.25 inches wide by 14 inches deep (about 1.75 cubic feet). The poured-insulation body and thick door give it the mass and footprint of a freestanding safe rather than a small chest.
Engineering & Security
- B-rate burglary construction: The series carries a B-rate body to resist common pry and forced-entry attacks on stored cash, documents, and valuables.
- UL Residential Security Container label: Independent UL RSC testing confirms the chest resists a five-minute attack with common hand tools.
- UL Group II combination lock: A UL-listed Group II mechanical combination lock with built-in relocking device is standard, with electronic and key options available.
- Thick door and walls: Series construction uses a 4.25-inch-thick door and 2.5-inch-thick walls in double-layer steel for both fire and forced-entry resistance.
- 645-pound mass: At 645 pounds, the chest resists removal and gives bolt-cutting and pry tools little leverage during an attack.
Fire Protection & Interior
- UL 2-hour fire rating: A UL-listed 2-hour (120-minute) fire label protects documents and media through extended structure fires.
- 1850°F furnace test: The unit was furnace-tested to 1850°F, with interior temperature staying below 350°F through the test and cool-down.
- Poured fire-resistant fill: Proprietary poured insulation, rather than fireboard or sheetrock, lines the body to slow heat transfer.
- Usable main interior: The main compartment offers 12.5 by 17.25 by 14 inches, roughly 1.75 cubic feet, for papers, cash, and small valuables.
Ideal Buyer & Use Cases
The Gardall Z-2218 suits homeowners and small businesses that need verified protection against both fire and burglary in a single, hard-to-move unit. With external dimensions of 29.25 by 23.25 by 25.75 inches and a 645-pound weight, it works well in a home office, closet, or back room where cash, records, and valuables are kept.
If you need less capacity, the Gardall Z-1818 and Z-1812 chests in the same series step down in size and price; for more room, the Z-3018 and Z-3620 offer larger interiors with the same UL 2-hour fire and B-rate burglary ratings.
