Musings from the Factory Floor on Black Friday

Musings from the Factory Floor on Black Friday


As I walked around the shop locking up, I took a good look at our finished line up of safes while no one else was around.  I made a few observations and decided that I should be shooting pictures so I could share a little bit of what I saw. 

Big Blue Monster Gun Safe

The first thing I see is one of our “Monster Safes” in a glowing Metallic Blue Finish, silver double pinstripe & chrome 5-prong handle.  L.E.D.’s automatically light when the door is opened to reveal an oak shelved 10 Long Gun Pro door backing with Pistol Pro Pegs above & a matching metallic blue safe inside a safe.  The door on this monster is a massive 52” across and sports a 4-way active 20 bolt locking system.  I won’t give away all the build secrets but the inside liner alone weighs more than most of my competitors entire largest safes.

Next to the Monster are four Custom Titan Gun Safes.
One Burgundy with Gold pinstripes, L A Gard Digital Lock and 5-Prong Handle. The second, a brilliant Wimbledon white gloss finish with gold pinstripes & hardware…Very Classy!  The third is a Tennessee Volunteers Orange Titan Gun Safe.  “One Way George” put so many coats of custom Tennessee Volunteers Orange paint on this safe I was afraid that the door would rub against the frame…it didn’t however, the gap between the door and frame on this safe is insanely snug and tight.  Thanks to one loyal Volunteer, I got to build another “Bad Ass Safe”.  Go Vols!!! 


The fourth custom Titan is one of my personal favorites; a Gray Matte with Silver pinstripes, Sargent & Greenleaf Spy-Lock & Chrome 5-Prong Handle. 

The double door safe (shown here primed and guide coated) awaits a gold pearl over tangerine orange high gloss finish with candy purple flames, custom airbrushing and hand pinstripes.  No decision has been made yet on the interior but it will be something completely original and tricked out.  You’re gonna want to see it so check back soon.

These are just a few of the safes we will be shipping by next weeks end.  I didn’t even get started on the Vault Doors or the custom shelters.  Maybe next time I will start at that end of the shop.

Final observation…I am a very lucky man, thankful to have clients that appreciate high quality American craftsmanship.  They allow me to put my own personal touch on security products they will trust in their homes and businesses for generations to come. Thanks to you all and God Bless America.
