You may also want to think about the fact that you may not be there to make the phone call when the fire starts. However, you still need to factor in the chance that your emergency may fall into the other 10%, or the time it takes for them to get the fire under control once they arrive. Six minutes is pretty impressive, and roughly 90% of the time, they shoot par. Their clock starts ticking from the time you call 911 to the time they arrive on the scene, hoses a’blazin’. That’s a significant difference, especially when you consider that the National Fire Protection Association has a six minute response time guideline that they try to stick to. What separates Cannon’s fire protection from Stack On’s, however, is that Cannon’s top fire safe, the Safari has a 90 minute 1200 degree F rating, while Stack On’s poster child, the Elite boasts a cool 30 minutes of fire protection at 1400 degrees. I go into a bit more detail in the Cannon article, but Intertek is a third party company, with no direct affiliation or public loyalty to either Stack On or Cannon, and they don’t slouch on testing. If you remember (assuming you actually read) my write up on Cannon safes, earning an ETL rating is pretty respectable. And like I said before, their quality isn’t all that ulbad either.įirst off, some of their more premium safes (the Elite and Total Defense models) offer a little bit of fire protection, and they’re rated by Intertek ETL. I’m no business analyst, but I think you can attribute a lot of Stack On’s nearly four decades of success to the combination of their massive product line, and attractive pricing. They offer a little bit of everything – full size gun safes, a plethora of different steel gun cabinets (remember gun cabinets are NOT the same as gun safes), personal fire safes, drawer safes, there’s a Stack On handgun safe, they even have an entirely separate division devoted to tool storage. They manufacture a slew of security products and price them at a relatively affordable rate. I’ve hit on some of Stack On’s products on this site before. I mean, you can’t say no to a fire resistant, 500 lbs, 28 capacity $1000 gun safe, can you?.We’ll get to that in a minute. People look at one of these seemingly feature filled puppies and see a great deal. The price point is where Stack On gun safes really shine. Of course, when you compare a Stack On safe to the two aforementioned monsters, you probably can’t help but notice the $4000 difference in price either. Their success isn’t necessarily a direct reflection of the quality of a Stack On gun safe, not that they specialize in making crap – they don’t – it’s just that a Stack On Elite doesn’t quite live up to its moniker when “stacked up” next to a Liberty Magnum (America’s best selling gun safe manufacturer…that’s my pitch) or a Browning Platinum Plus.
