Many are not listed as safes they are listed as residential security cabinets because they don't meet basic safe standards

But truth be told the UL rating of RSC ain't worth much. A 'Residential Security Container' or RSC is in reality a sheet metal box with a lock. When you actually discover how easy an RSC is to open I think most folks would realize it is not a safe. Though it certainly looks like a true safe, a RSC is not much more than a beefed up filing cabinet. Perhaps it has a bit of sheetrock tucked inside as fire retardant. Marketing by Liberty and others has, and will, lead the uninformed to believe otherwise. Two men, two crow bars, and two minutes is all it takes to open the typical RSC..
Impressive metal for an RSC I must say! The 20 bolts are meaningless however.I respectfully have to disagree. My safe is an RSC it is made from 3/16 steel plate with solid and continuous welds. 3/8 steel plate on the front door. 20 1-1/2 steel locking bars including one in each corner. S&G dial lock. Dry weight over 1,800 lbs. Certainly more protection than a beefed up filing cabinet.

Certainly is a beast! I use several Ft Knox pistol safes, and like them.Can probably get credit card in gap but door is about 4" thick and stepped. It's a Ft Knox Titan.

Yes, the door is steel plate as you say, but the rest is mild sheet steel according to what I can find. Still, all in all it is a high end RSC.Everything aside from door is 3/16 plate. It has 2 layers of fire protection and 10 ga inner steel liner. That's more than 1/4" of steel plate to get through. Sure it can be cut whether by Sawsall, grinder or torch. Any safe can be broken into given enough resources and time. All I'm saying is there are RSCs available that provide decent protection for what they are.
Ditto here.Yeah I've got one of their pistol "safes" (lockbox) in my truck.
