The FamilySAFE is an all welded steel unit engineered to exceed FEMA’s performance criteria. This is accomplished by building a “NASCAR Type” safety cage and surrounding the occupants with class-three bullet resistant steel on the roof and all sides. The unit can support over 100,000 lbs. stacked on top of it. That’s about 25 mid-sized cars. The unit has a very low threshold, allowing for easy entry by any person in a wheelchair or walker. The Unit has one of the strongest doors available in the industry, and incorporates FamilySAFE’s patent pending SAFE-T Door. This unique system allows the door to be opened several different ways, ensuring that getting trapped inside is next to impossible. The original unit door is held closed using three matching stainless steel class-one deadbolts that are all keyed alike. These deadbolts allow the unit to be used as a vault or gun safe and in some instances qualifies as a tax deduction.
