Compact listed composite home safe
Checked 6 days agoOur synthesis2 evidence items

Exact dimensions and usable geometry

The official exact dimensions are 24.5 by 18 by 19.875 inches outside and 19 by 12.375 by 12 inches inside; the door, handle and shelving further shape usable binder and tray geometry
Checked 6 days agoDirect source3 evidence items

Weight and delivery route

The safe weighs 318 pounds and ships by freight; confirm liftgate, curbside or inside service, stair limits, cart or cabinet clearances and final bolt-down before purchase
Checked 6 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence items

Lock, keys and access service

The retained E1 configuration includes AMSEC's UL-listed Type 1 ESL10 electronic lock; record the battery and code procedure, serial, lock warranty, service authorization and emergency power behavior
Checked 6 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence items

Burglary-listing boundary

The exact CSC1913 is listed UL RSC Level I; that defined rating does not make it a TL safe, stop all tools or promise that a theft attempt will fail
Checked 6 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence items

Fire-test boundary

AMSEC describes a 120-minute factory test at 1,200°F rather than a UL 72 listing; the claim must remain tied to paper-oriented conditions and the exact safe label
Checked 6 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence items

Construction claims

The maker specifies a cement-based composite barrier, thick plate-style door, 1.5-inch bolts, tempered-glass relocker and heavy hinges; construction names do not extend the certified rating
Checked 6 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence items

Water and flood boundary

The intumescent seal is a fire and smoke component, not evidence of flood resistance; use separate moisture protection for irreplaceable papers or electronic media
Checked 6 days agoOur synthesis2 evidence items

Anchoring and floor boundary

Its compact size and 318-pound weight still permit tip and removal risks; use the manufacturer's bolt provision with substrate-specific professional judgment and no unverified cabinet mounting
Checked 6 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence items

Usable interior and contents

Two adjustable powder-coated shelves make a small document or jewelry layout; measure binders and boxes, maintain humidity appropriate to contents and do not treat the safe as a charger enclosure without a listed power path
Checked 6 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence items

Warranty, service and relocation

Lock Depot identifies authorized distribution and same-day freight availability, while AMSEC controls the product warranty; confirm lock labor, shipping, fire replacement, transfer and resale paperwork
Checked 6 days agoOur synthesis3 evidence items

No protection-outcome guarantee

No product can guarantee prevention of theft, unauthorized access, fire, smoke, water, corrosion, lockout, injury or content loss. Match the exact certified label and installation to the consequence, preserve insurance and inventory records, follow secure-storage practices and use qualified movers, installers and locksmiths.

Current verdict

Defended Compact listed composite home safe

CSC1913 is the defended compact composite choice when 19 by 12.375 by 12 inches of interior space is enough and a 318-pound anchored cabinet fits better than a full-height gun safe.

Owner experience

What repeats after the purchase

Owner discussion returns to esl10 service, 12-inch interior depth, freight handoff, shelving and bolt-down access rather than advertised capacity or protection language alone.

These are self-reported experiences from different homes, floors, installers, locks, model years, collections, climates, attacks and events. They identify checks to run and do not establish burglary resistance, fire survival, flood resistance, unauthorized-access prevention, reliability, failure rates, safety or insurance outcomes.
SignalWhat owners reportOur readEvidence

ESL10 service, 12-inch interior depth, freight handoff, shelving and bolt-down access

Owners discuss 318-pound placement, dial versus ESL10, shelf dimensions and delivery. These experiences do not establish fire or burglary outcomes.

Lay out every binder or tray within a 19 by 12.375 by 12-inch box and confirm the anchor plan before choosing this compact footprint.

Open Hollon Safe

Manufacturer identity, exact dimensions, current U.S. price or configurator, manuals or support, certification context, independent dealer or editorial context and bounded owner evidence were checked on August 18, 2026. This desk covers current complete residential burglary and fire secure-storage safes and serious full-size firearm cabinets available to U.S. buyers. It excludes portable lockboxes, cheap hotel-style boxes, vault doors, unsupported marketplace models, cosmetic colors and size-only duplicates unless a size materially changes construction, delivery, anchoring or usable layout. Preserve the exact model and lock, exterior, hardware and door-swing envelope, interior and door-clearance dimensions, empty and loaded weight, delivery path, floor capacity, anchor pattern, current certification plate, test agency, duration, temperature and media class, steel and barrier construction, water limitations, humidity plan, warranty and authorized service. A UL-listed lock, fireboard component, California DOJ approval, steel gauge, bolt count, maker security level or maker fire duration is not silently converted into a whole-container burglary tier or UL 72 media class. No safe is theft-proof, fireproof, flood-proof, child-proof or guaranteed to preserve access or contents. Use qualified safe movers and installers for heavy products. Follow manufacturer instructions and applicable property, firearm-storage, building and insurance requirements. Keep firearms unloaded when stored and ammunition locked separately where applicable, protect codes and keys, and never allow a person or animal inside a safe.
