A fireproof gun safe is a heavy-duty security container engineered to protect firearms, ammunition, and related accessories from theft and fire damage—integrating thick steel construction for anti-theft protection and specialized fire-resistant insulation (e.g., ceramic fiber, intumescent materials) to withstand high temperatures for extended periods (30–120 minutes). Unlike standard gun safes, which focus solely on theft prevention, fireproof models comply with global fire safety standards (e.g., UL 72, EN 15659) and are designed to maintain internal temperatures below 177°C (the point at which gunpowder ignites and firearm finishes melt) during a fire. Shanghai Kuntu Industrial Co., Ltd., a BSCI-certified factory with over 20 years of experience in fire-resistant storage products, manufactures fireproof gun safes in various sizes (from small handgun models to large rifle safes) to meet the needs of residential gun owners, collectors, and commercial facilities worldwide. Residential gun owners in fire-prone regions (e.g., wildfire-prone areas of the U.S. West, forested regions of Europe) rely on fireproof gun safes to protect their collections. Consider a collector in California who owns 10 firearms (6 rifles, 4 handguns), 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and several vintage gun parts—all stored in a home office. A wildfire approaching the neighborhood could reach temperatures of 1,200°C, but Shanghai Kuntu’s fireproof gun safe (dimensions: 180cm × 90cm × 70cm, weight: 150kg) is rated to withstand 1,200°C for 60 minutes. The safe’s body is constructed from 4mm cold-rolled steel (resisting drilling and prying) with a double-layer door—each layer separated by 7cm of ceramic fiber insulation (non-toxic, heat-resistant up to 1,800°C). The door features 12 locking bolts (6 top/bottom, 6 sides) that extend 25mm into the frame, creating a tight seal that prevents heat and smoke from entering. The interior includes adjustable steel shelves (for handguns and accessories), a barrel rack (for rifles), and a lockable ammo compartment—all lined with heat-resistant felt to protect finishes. The safe uses a digital keypad lock with a backup key and a fire seal around the door jamb (intumescent material that expands when heated, sealing gaps). Shanghai Kuntu tests each fireproof safe in a certified fire chamber: the safe is exposed to 1,200°C for 60 minutes, and internal temperatures are monitored to ensure they stay below 177°C. For the collector, this means their valuable firearms and ammo remain undamaged even if the home is partially burned. Commercial facilities, such as shooting ranges and firearms stores, use fireproof gun safes to comply with insurance and regulatory requirements. A firearms store in a busy city, for example, is required by local law to store all unsold weapons in a fireproof safe overnight. Shanghai Kuntu’s commercial fireproof gun safe (interior volume: 500 liters) can hold 30+ firearms and includes a digital inventory system—each weapon is tagged with an RFID chip, and the safe records when it is removed or returned. The safe’s fire rating (1,200°C for 90 minutes) meets insurance standards, reducing the store’s insurance premiums, and its steel construction deters break-ins during after-hours. The safe also features a smoke detector that triggers an alarm if smoke enters—alerting the store’s security system and local fire department early. Law enforcement evidence rooms use fireproof gun safes to store seized firearms and ammunition. A police department’s evidence room, for instance, stores hundreds of seized weapons (used in crimes) that need to be preserved for court cases. Shanghai Kuntu’s fireproof safe ensures these weapons remain undamaged by fire, while the secure lock (biometric + key) prevents tampering. The safe’s interior is divided into labeled compartments, making it easy to organize evidence by case number.
