BURGLARY SAFES

Burglary safes range in size and shape, from small in floor boxes up the bank vault doors.

The degree of protection, has as wide a range. Construction materials range from steel plate to composite materials.

Burglary safe ratings are usually expressed by a letter, "B", "C", "E", or "TL15", "TL30", "TL60", "TLTR60", "TLTRTX60X6". The letter designations are really left over from a widely used mercantile insurance rating system, that is typically not used today. The "TL" rating are the current UL ratings, and can be broken down as follows.

These are sample rating, there are more. The term "resists attack by tools" is measured as the actual time that the tool is in contact with the area being attacked. Keeping this in mind, the test time is typically much longer than the number of minutes given. 

• TL15 - resists attack by tools for 15 minutes
• TL30 - resists attack by tools for 30 minutes
• TL60 - resists attack by tools for 60 minutes
• TLTR60 - resists tool and abrasive tool attack for 60 minutes
• TLTRTX60X6 - resists tool, abrasive tool, and explosive attack for 60 minutes, on all 6 sides.
