B-Rate burglary with 2-hour fire protection for documents and valuables
Built for homeowners who want both burglary and fire defense in one cabinet, the Mesa MBF Series MBF2020C pairs B-Rate burglary construction with two hours of fire protection tested to 1,830 degrees Fahrenheit. Its all-steel body, three 1-inch live-locking bolts, and drill- and punch-resistant electronic lock guard cash, deeds, and heirlooms in a compact 22-inch footprint. Imported.
At 22.5 inches high by 22 inches wide by 22 inches deep (add 2 inches for the handle) and 191 pounds, the MBF2020C offers 3.34 cubic feet of interior space, measuring 19 inches high by 19 inches wide by 16 inches deep. That scale suits passports, birth certificates, wills, insurance papers, and a modest stack of valuables, while four pre-drilled anchor holes let you bolt it down for theft resistance.
Engineering & Security
- B-Rate burglary construction: Mesa rates this safe B-Rate, using all-steel construction rather than the plastic body parts found on many competing cabinets in this price range.
- Three 1-inch live-locking bolts: Three massive one-inch-diameter bolts extend on the door, while steel deadbolts on the hinge side block door removal during a pry attempt.
- Drill- and punch-resistant lock: The lock is built to resist drilling and punching attacks, and an internal spring-loaded relocker engages if the lock is forced.
- Electronic keypad with key backup: Battery-operated electronic lock holds up to two user codes; an exterior key lock provides emergency entry if the keypad fails.
- Keypad lockout penalty: Repeated incorrect entries trigger a lockout penalty, and a bolt detent prevents bolt-work damage from accidental closure with bolts extended.
- Four pre-drilled anchor holes: Pre-drilled floor holes let you bolt the 191-pound safe down to resist removal; anchor hardware is not included.
Fire Protection & Interior
- 2-hour fire protection at 1,830 degrees F: Mesa states the safe withstands up to 1,830 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours, protecting documents and media from a sustained house fire.
- Factory-tested impact rating: After heating, the safe was dropped from 30 feet and reheated for 45 more minutes, simulating a fall through collapsing floors.
- 3.34 cubic feet of usable space: The 19-by-19-by-16-inch interior holds passports, deeds, insurance papers, wills, and a modest stack of valuables.
- Two adjustable shelves: Two high-strength adjustable and removable shelves let you organize documents and small items to suit your contents.
- Hammered grey finish: The cabinet ships in a hammered grey finish suited to a closet, office, or discreet interior placement.
Ideal Buyer & Use Cases
The MBF2020C fits a homeowner or small-business owner who wants one cabinet that resists both forced entry and fire. At 22.5 inches high, 22 inches wide, and 22 inches deep (add 2 inches for the handle) and 191 pounds, with 3.34 cubic feet inside, it holds essential documents, cash, and valuables without dominating a closet.
If you need less room, the smaller Mesa MBF1512C steps down in size; to move up, the MBF2620C and the larger MBF3820C add interior capacity in the same B-Rate, two-hour fire-rated series. Prefer the same protection in this footprint with a different lock? The MBF2020E offers the electronic configuration as well.
