60 minute competitor's rating failed in 23 minutes. Liberty (on the right) survived the test!
Head to Head Fire Test
There are a lot of claims made by manufacturer's that their safes will perform as well as Liberty's in a fire. To verify these claims, Liberty brought in several of the competitor's safes and fire tested them head to head against an equivelant Liberty Safe.
In the example to the left, both safes claimed to have the same 60-minute fire rating. Both safes were put in the same oven and both safes used the same testing requirements. The oven was heated from room temperature to 1200 degrees within 10 minutes, just like it happens during a typical house fire.
