Protection built for high-value inventory

Both are UL burglary ratings, and the number is time. TL means tool resistant. The rating records how long the safe's door held against a UL technician attacking it with common hand and power tools, measured in net working time, meaning time actually spent attacking. A TL-15 held for 15 minutes. A TL-30 held for 30. In practice a TL-30 is also heavier and thicker throughout, and it is the tier most insurers expect once inventory value climbs. Both rate the door only.

TL-30 rates the door. TL-30x6 applies the same 30-minute attack to all six sides: the door, the top, the bottom and all four walls. A TL-30 assumes an attacker goes at the front. The x6 assumes they will go at whatever side is easiest, including tipping the safe to reach the bottom. Carriers writing larger schedules commonly step up to x6 above a stated limit. Above that sits TRTL, which adds an oxy-acetylene torch to the tool set.

Your insurance policy decides it, not your square footage. Carriers schedule jewelers' block coverage against a rating and a limit: how much value you may leave in the safe overnight, and what the safe must be rated to hold it. The usual ladder runs TL-15 for a starting inventory, TL-30 as the working standard for most stores, TL-30x6 once the limit rises, and TRTL or a vault at the top. Bring us your schedule page and we will tell you what it is asking for, then specify against it, so you are not paying for a rating you do not need or finding out after a loss that you were under-rated.

Yes. Rigging, difficult access, anchoring and relocation of high-security safes are part of what we do.

For the highest-value environments we design and build custom vaults. It is a natural upgrade path from a high-security safe.
