Fort Knox gun safes Defender Series offer many of the same security features as their big brothers, but without the cosmetic frills and at an economical cost. The durable textured finish offers protection against nicks, dings, and scratches, yet still looks elegant.

These Fort Knox gun safes have been tested by Underwriters Laboratories and have been granted a Residential Security Container (RSC) burglary rating. They have been independently tested and carry a certification for 90 minute fire protection at temperatures up to 1650 degrees F. The reinforced fire door is now standard on all models.

• The 1/4-inch thick steel door, the many lock features on these safes including the Sargent and Greenleaf Group II manipulation resistant lock, the clutch drive handle and the FOIL™ mechanical backup re-locking device, offer a tough barrier against burglary.
• The Uni-body construction of the Defender Series gives you a 1-1/2-inch total body thickness.
• The interior is fully lined, including the back panel on the door, with a durable carpet which is velcro friendly. This allows you to apply velcro holsters directly to the walls and doors to hold your handguns.
• On the Defender Series of these Fort Knox gun safes, the dead bolts (bolts that do not move) have been replaced with active bolts that actually retract into the door to allow it open. These active bolts are located on both sides and the top and the bottom of the door. There are up to thirteen 1-1/2-inch diameter locking bolts on each safe.
• You can add the following options to the safe:
• A high security electronic pushbutton lock. This allows quick opening and the convenience of changing the combination on your safe at a moment's notice.
• Fluorescent light package which lights up the interior of the safe when you open the door.
• A pistol door rack or holsters which allow you to hang your handguns or jewelry on the inside of the door or on the walls of the safe.
• The Defender Series models are available in the following sizes: 7261, 7251, 7241, 6637, 6031, 6026, and 4026. Click here to see the specifications for these Fort Knox gun safes.
