I bought a Liberty Presidential 25. Definitely old school, the face of the door is solid, 1" thick. Looking for information like specifications, especially weight. Anything else would be appreciated. A brochure from 1995 would be very cool. Thanks! Attached File Attached File |

I contacted the seller. He has the original paperwork and will send it to me. I got the serial number which was not on the safe anywhere and was able to register the safe with Liberty and now have the lifetime warranty. Attached File |

The door of mine is solid steel, heavy as shit. We pulled the inside cover off the door to change the combination. You could see the inside of the door. 1" thick solid steel. |

I want to believe you that Liberty DID make a safe of that caliber at one point in time. A 1” AR steel door would be in line with some of the highest security safes Underwriters Laboratory certifies and tests. I am buying a TL30 rated safe and it has a 6” door, but mostly concrete. My current AMSEC safe has a 1/2” steel plate AR steel door and it’s doesn’t have beveled edges like your door. I only tell you this so you don’t misjudge the burglary resistance of your safe. |

Just in case anyone ever does read this, no that door is not 1” thick plate steel… Hell the current version has a 7 gauge body. That is 3/16” of an inch. A typical Ft Knox body is 10 gauge, around 1/8” (or .14” if true thickness). One of the old 90’s Yeager series Fort Knox safes would have a 3/16” body, plus a 10 gauge inner liner. The door was a beefed up 5/8” steel plate (plus composite for fireproofing). Liberty conveniently does not even mention the current version’s steel door thickness on their website either. Sure as hell if it was 1” thick steel they would be mentioning it. Not sure it would even be safe to open with that much weight out the front either…still need the fireproofing material as well, plus the lockworks and inner wall. |
