They might not be one of the most long-established or oldest names in the safe business, but in the thirty-two years since they sold their first safe, Liberty has forged the sort of reputation among gun owners that it usually takes a couple of lifetimes to achieve. In less than four decades this Utah based brand has gone from a start-up to the number one choice for full size and compact guns safes in America,

Believing that reliability and safety shouldn’t be out of the financial reach of the average American family, Liberty safes are secure and affordable and it was, and is, this combination of factors that have helped them to seal their unshakeable position as the premier manufacturer of gun safes in the United States.

Are Liberty Safes good? If good is measured by customer satisfaction, the reliability, durability of their safes, and protection and security that they offer, then without hesitation, the answer to that question is yes. Yes, Liberty Safes are good.  

Are Liberty Safes Worth The Money? 

Liberty Safes sales figures and dramatic rise through the ranks of a notoriously difficult industry to crack speak for themselves. Their legions of satisfied customers are testament to the enduring ability of their safes to do exactly what Liberty promises they will - they’ll keep your handguns and weapons safe and secure no matter what happens.

But the real reason why Liberty Safes are definitely worth the money is that they’re made from solid steel, they’re priced at a point that most of their competition can’t even begin to hope to match and every Liberty Safe comes with a lifetime warranty. 

So if a Liberty safe does fail to live up to your, and their, incredibly high standards due to a design or manufacturing fault or error, Liberty will either refund your money or replace your safe, no questions asked. 

Are the Liberty Safes worth the asking price? They absolutely are, as they guarantee one hundred percent customer satisfaction and security at a price that’s easily affordable for everyone. 

Are Liberty Safes UL rated? 

Liberty is famous for refusing to compromise on the quality of the materials that they use to make their safes and the way they continually find ways to innovate and improve the quality of their product despite the fact that the technology that the industry is based on is archaic, and hasn’t, as a whole, evolved since steel safes were first used in the nineteenth century. 

All of Liberty’s safes are made from American steel and use UL rated fire boards and UL rated locks to increase the level of security that they provide and to ensure that they are far more resistant to fire than almost all of their competitor’s safes are. 

Every gun safe that Liberty makes, from their entry-level Centurion through to their top of the range Presidential Magnum is certified by the California DOJ (Department of Justice), and the only gun safe that they make that isn’t fully UL rated is the Centurion

Is The Liberty Centurion A Good Safe?

As we’ve just referenced the Centurion and its lack of a UK rating, it’s probably an opportune moment to focus on it, and whether or not it’s actually a good safe.  

It’s Liberty’s entry-level model, and even though it’s regarded as being their “budget” model, the Centurion line is also seen as being one of the best gun safes that an amateur shooter or someone looking for an affordable way to secure their first handgun can buy. 

Made from fourteen gauge steel and using ten three sixteenth of an inch separate locking bars, which means that nobody bar you will ever be able to get into the safe, the Centurion range also provides thirty minutes of guaranteed protection from fire damage. This means even in the toughest of blazes, your guns should be safe until the Fire Department arrives.

What Is The Biggest Liberty Safe? 

Nobody does big in quite the same that Liberty does. Their biggest gun safe dwarfs almost every other domestically made gun safe.  Known as the Fatboy, Liberty’s biggest gun safe can hold sixty-four guns, and has a retro charm that makes it timeless as well as tough.

Made from solid eleven gauge steel, it has twelve separate quarter-inch-thick steel locking bars and can provide up to seventy-five minutes of certified fire protection.  And it isn’t just certified against fire, as the California Department of Justice has also given the Fatboy their stamp of approval, and it’s fully UL rated too. 

That means that it’ll keep your guns safe from a home invasion and any intruders who are foolish enough to venture onto your property without being invited. 

It isn’t just tough, it’s super tough and it comes with Liberty’s lifetime guarantee that means they’ll stand behind their safe as long as you need them too.  The Fatboy only knows how to do one thing and that is protect all of your guns from anyone except you. And it is incredibly good at what it does. 

Which Gun Safe Is Better - Cannon Or Liberty? 

That’s a question for the ages, and when you compare two of the big three of American gun safe manufacturers (the third being Winchester obviously), it’s like comparing chalk and cheese. And at the end of the day, it boils down to one thing - which safe the individual gun owner prefers. 

Comparatively, there isn’t a lot that separates the two brands, apart from price as both have done their utmost to design and engineer safes that are made to do one thing. Protect your guns and keep them safe.  

But based purely on functionality, the amount of protection that they offer, their separate warranties, and their reputation among the gun owners who use, and depend on them on a regular basis, the ongoing debate about which is better, Cannon or Liberty always seems to swing the same way. 

It always without fail, seems to favor Liberty, which invariably makes them the better gun safes.
