USA 30 | Burgundy Marble | Level 3 Security | 60 Minute Fire Rating - 250th Anniversary
Jump To Who It Fits Common Mistakes Protection Specs Installation Delivery FAQ Liberty Safe · Gun Safe · Balanced Protection USA 250th Commemorative — Burgundy Marble The Burgundy Marble edition of the Liberty USA 250th Commemorative is the one for buyers who want something that reads as a finished piece in a gun room rather than a utility item. The marble finish is a departure from anything in the standard USA Series color lineup, and paired with the 250th commemorative graphics, it makes a case for itself that has nothing to do with spec sheets. The protection underneath is unchanged: 12-gauge Dual Fusion frame, 60 minutes of certified fire protection, and capacity for up to 30 long guns. Made in the USA. Available for a limited time. 12-gauge Dual Fusion steel frame Fire: 60 min certified UL Listed body + lock 4 models: 30 to 50 guns 565–930 lbs Security level 3 of 10 Why This Matters The step from the Centurion to the USA Series is the step from 14-gauge to 12-gauge Dual Fusion steel. It is also the step from the Essential tier to the Balanced tier. Sixty minutes of certified fire protection, 565 to 930 pounds, and a construction standard built to hold that fire rating reliably. For buyers who want the first safe that genuinely belongs in the Balanced range, the USA Series is where it starts. Take the Protection Quiz Buyer Profile Who the USA Series Is Built For The USA Series fits the buyer who needs Balanced-tier construction for a meaningful long-gun collection, who wants 60 minutes of certified fire protection in a heavy, rigid safe body, and who is stepping up from the Essential tier or buying their first serious safe at the Balanced level. How to evaluate which tier fits your collection size and risk environment. Protection Profile Balanced-tier construction: 12-gauge Dual Fusion folded steel frame, UL Listed safe body, 60 minutes of certified fire protection, 565 to 930 pounds. The construction step from 14-gauge (Centurion) to 12-gauge Dual Fusion (USA Series) is what earns the Balanced tier designation. How Balanced protection compares to Essential and Enhanced across the full range. Collection and Capacity Four models from 30 to 50 long guns. The USA 30 and 36 cover most Balanced-tier buyers with room to grow. The 48 suits larger collections. The 50 adds a taller body and 8 locking bars but requires a 29.5-inch minimum doorway. Confirm your doorway before ordering that model. How to size a USA Series model for where your collection is going over the next three to five years. Considering the Next Tier? The Colonial and Home SE step up to Security Level 4 with deeper fire insulation, more bolt presence, and a heavier construction envelope. If your collection's value or your wildfire exposure pushes past what Level 3 delivers, the comparison is worth making before you commit. How the USA Series compares to Level 4 products in fire and security construction. Ready to step up to Balanced? The USA Series is available through our Caldwell showroom alongside the Centurion for a direct tier comparison. We can walk through model selection before you commit. Visit the Showroom Construction Overview What 12-Gauge Dual Fusion Steel Means in Practice The USA Series is the entry point for Balanced-tier construction in the Liberty lineup. The 12-gauge Dual Fusion folded steel frame is the construction standard that separates it from the Essential tier. Higher gauge steel is thicker. Folded construction adds rigidity by creating a structural frame rather than a flat-panel body. The result is a safe that holds its shape under pry attack more effectively and provides a more consistent thermal envelope during a fire event. How Balanced-tier construction compares to Essential-tier across fire and forced-entry resistance. Fire Protection 60 minutes of certified fire protection (all models) 25% of maximum rated protection scale Sixty certified minutes at the Balanced construction standard. The 12-gauge Dual Fusion frame provides a more consistent thermal envelope than the 14-gauge Centurion, which is why the same fire duration rating delivers more reliable protection at this tier. For buyers in Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon with wildfire exposure, 60 minutes covers most residential fire scenarios. Extended wildfire burn scenarios that exceed 60 minutes are the honest case for stepping up to the Colonial or Franklin Series. How certified fire protection translates to real fire scenarios at the Balanced tier. Steel and Security 12-gauge Dual Fusion folded steel · UL Listed body · 6 locking bars (8 on USA 50) at 1/4" thick and 4" wide The 12-gauge Dual Fusion folded steel frame is a higher-gauge, structurally different construction from the 14-gauge flat-panel body of the Centurion. Six locking bars at 1/4-inch thick and 4 inches wide on the 30, 36, and 48 models. Eight locking bars on the USA 50. UL Listed safe body and UL Listed electronic lock. At 565 to 930 pounds, the mass is the first line of forced-entry resistance: a safe that cannot be moved cannot be defeated by removal. How 12-gauge Dual Fusion construction and locking bar count factor into Balanced-tier forced-entry resistance. Where the USA Series Reaches Its Ceiling The USA Series is the entry point in the Balanced tier. The Colonial and Home SE at Security Level 4 add deeper fire insulation, more robust construction, and a stronger forced-entry resistance profile. If your collection includes highly valuable or irreplaceable firearms, if you're in an area with extended wildfire exposure scenarios, or if a more capable security system is warranted by your situation, the Level 4 step is worth evaluating before you land here. How to evaluate whether the USA Series or the next tier up fits your specific situation. Common Mistakes Four Things to Get Straight Before You Buy Misconception: "The USA Series is just a heavier Centurion with the same steel." Reality: The Centurion uses 14-gauge steel in a flat-panel construction. The USA Series uses 12-gauge Dual Fusion folded steel, which is both thicker and structurally different. The folded frame creates rigidity that flat-panel construction does not have. The weight difference (565 to 930 lbs versus 245 to 411 lbs) is a result of this construction, not the same product with more steel added. These are different construction standards. How 12-gauge Dual Fusion construction differs from 14-gauge flat-panel construction in rigidity and protection. Misconception: "The USA 50 is the best value. Most capacity for the money." Reality: The USA 50 requires a minimum doorway of 29.5 inches and weighs 930 pounds. A standard 30-inch interior door has about 28 inches of clear opening. A 32-inch door has about 30 inches. The USA 50 requires at least a 32-inch door or frame removal. It also has the highest delivery complexity of the four models. For buyers whose installation doesn't specifically require 50-gun capacity, the USA 48 covers the same wide footprint at a 24-inch minimum doorway and 716 pounds. Confirm your doorway before ordering the 50. How to evaluate doorway clearance and delivery logistics before ordering a large-format safe. Misconception: "I have 20 guns now, so the USA 30 gives me plenty of room." Reality: Rated capacity assumes standard long guns without scopes, slings, or accessories. A collection of 20 guns that includes scoped rifles, shotguns with wider stocks, or any firearms with attached hardware runs closer to 85 to 90 percent of rated capacity in practice. At 20 guns with an active collection and several scoped rifles, the USA 30 fills faster than it looks. The USA 36 gives meaningful headroom at a modest weight difference. Buy one model larger than your current practical count if your collection is active. How to calculate which USA Series model fits your collection's realistic growth. Misconception: "The Dual Flex adjustable interior means I can configure it any way I want." Reality: The Dual Flex adjustable interior provides genuine flexibility in shelf positioning across a defined set of shelf positions. It does not mean unlimited reconfiguration to any layout. The standard door storage panel is factory installed and provides a defined set of door pockets and holders. For buyers who need a highly customized interior for a specific accessory load, the door panel and shelf system may feel limiting. Most Balanced-tier buyers find the standard configuration works well for a mixed long-gun and handgun collection. How the USA Series Dual Flex interior compares to higher-tier interior systems for mixed collections. Protection Reality What the USA Series Covers and Where It Stops The USA Series addresses the two scenarios that drive Balanced-tier buyers: a standard or moderately extended residential fire, and a household or opportunistic forced-entry attempt. Twelve-gauge Dual Fusion folded steel, 565 to 930 pounds, a UL Listed body, and 60 minutes of certified fire protection cover that profile reliably for most residential buyers in Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon. The 60-minute rating handles most residential fire scenarios and many wildfire-adjacent scenarios for buyers in the Treasure Valley and surrounding communities. How to evaluate your specific fire and theft risk against what the USA Series provides. The honest limits: 60 minutes of fire protection is the minimum Balanced-tier rating. Extended wildfire burn scenarios in higher-exposure communities along the Wood River Valley, around McCall, or in canyon communities can exceed 60 minutes of sustained exposure. If your collection's value, your property's exposure, or your risk environment pushes past what 60 minutes and Level 3 construction delivers, the Colonial Series at Level 4 is the right next step. Common assumptions about 60-minute fire protection at the Balanced tier worth correcting. Protection Scale Where the USA Series Sits on the Protection Scale The USA Series sits at Balanced, Security Level 3, the first Balanced-tier product in the Liberty lineup. The Colonial and Home SE step up to Level 4. The Centurion sits below at Essential. How all four protection levels compare in construction and fire detail.

Western Idaho & Eastern Oregon The USA Series in the Regional Context The USA Series is among the most common safes Idaho Safe & Vault installs for buyers in Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon who are stepping up from the Essential tier or buying their first serious safe at the Balanced level. Over 3,500 installations across the region over 32 years means our team knows the floor types, entry paths, and installation challenges in Caldwell, Nampa, Boise, and across the Treasure Valley. Why buying from a factory-authorized local dealer changes the installation and long-term service experience. The wildfire context: Sixty minutes of certified fire protection at the Balanced tier handles most residential fire scenarios across the region. For buyers in higher-exposure wildfire communities along the Wood River Valley, the McCall corridor, and the canyon edges outside Boise, the question is whether 60 minutes covers the exposure scenario they're planning for. In a fast-moving residential structure fire, 60 minutes is meaningful. In a wildfire event where a structure burns for 90 minutes or longer, the next tier up becomes the honest conversation. We recommend talking through your specific location before finalizing the USA Series if fire exposure is a primary concern.

Caldwell Showroom See the USA Series Alongside the Centurion and the Next Tier Up The USA Series and the Centurion are both available through our Caldwell showroom. If you're evaluating the step from Essential to Balanced, seeing both construction standards in person is the fastest way to make that call. We also carry Level 4 products alongside both for buyers who want to see the full range before deciding. "The Centurion-to-USA-Series decision usually comes down to two things: collection size and how much the wildfire risk factors into someone's planning. For buyers along the foothills or up the Wood River, the step to 60 minutes and a heavier body often pays for itself in peace of mind. The construction difference is visible the moment you lift either safe door." Nikki, Idaho Safe & Vault, 6 years What to expect when you come in to our Caldwell showroom • Talk through your situation before you visit Decision Guide Is the USA Series the Right Safe for Your Situation? The USA Series Is Right If: You need Balanced-tier construction with 12-gauge Dual Fusion steel and 60 minutes of certified fire protection. Your collection is in the 20-to-48 long-gun range with room to grow. 60 minutes of fire protection at the Balanced construction standard covers your fire risk environment. A Dual Flex fully upholstered interior with a standard door panel meets your storage needs. You're stepping up from the Centurion or buying your first serious safe at the Balanced level. Consider the Colonial or Home SE If: Your situation warrants the stronger construction, deeper fire insulation, and more robust bolt system at Security Level 4. You're in a wildfire-exposed area where the 60-minute rating at Level 3 feels marginal for extended burn scenarios. Your collection's replacement value justifies the step to Level 4 construction. How to confirm whether the USA Series or Level 4 is the right choice for your situation. Common Questions Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the USA Series and the Centurion? Steel grade and construction tier. The Centurion uses 14-gauge steel in the Essential tier. The USA Series uses 12-gauge Dual Fusion folded steel in the Balanced tier. Twelve-gauge is thicker than 14-gauge, and the folded Dual Fusion frame adds structural rigidity that flat-panel construction does not provide. The USA Series also weighs significantly more (565 to 930 pounds versus 245 to 411 pounds), which is a direct result of the heavier construction. Both carry 60 minutes of certified fire protection, but the Balanced-tier steel body delivers that rating with more structural integrity. How fire protection performs at the Balanced tier in wildfire versus residential fire scenarios. Which USA Series model should I buy? The USA 36 for most buyers stepping up from a cabinet or Centurion with a collection of 20 to 30 guns. The USA 30 is appropriate for collections under 20 guns where space is a constraint and the collection is stable. The USA 48 suits buyers with larger collections or who want the widest interior capacity without the USA 50's doorway requirements. The USA 50 is the right choice only when you specifically need 50-gun capacity and can confirm a 29.5-inch minimum doorway at your installation location. In almost every case, buy one size larger than your current practical count if your collection is active. Why does the USA 50 have a different doorway requirement? The USA 50 is taller (72.5 inches versus 60.5 inches) and deeper (27.5 inches versus 22 inches) than the other three models. Its 42-inch width is the same as the USA 48, but the greater depth makes the door swing path wider, requiring a 29.5-inch minimum clear opening. A standard 30-inch interior door has approximately 28 inches of clear opening, just short of what the USA 50 needs. A 32-inch door provides the necessary clearance. If your installation location has 30-inch doors, confirm the USA 48 as the alternative before ordering the 50. Call 208-454-8038 to verify your specific entry path before you place the order. Is the USA Series a meaningful step up from the Centurion for wildfire protection? For most residential fire scenarios, yes. The 12-gauge Dual Fusion frame provides a more consistent thermal envelope during a fire event than the 14-gauge Centurion. The 60-minute certified rating on both is the same duration, but it's more reliably maintained at the higher construction standard. For standard house fires in Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon, that difference is meaningful. For extended wildfire exposure scenarios where a structure burns for 90 minutes or longer, the honest answer is that 60 minutes at Level 3 begins to approach its limit. In those situations, the Colonial Series at Level 4 with deeper fire insulation and a longer certified duration is worth evaluating.
