UTAH VALLEY: HEART<br />

262<br />

Liberty Safe and Security Products, Inc.,<br />

may have modest roots, but there is nothing<br />

modest about the largest gun, fire, and home<br />

safe manufacturer in the world. And certainly<br />

nothing is modest about its two million<br />

satisfied customers.<br />

What began in 1988 with a couple <strong>of</strong> business<br />

partners producing five or six gun safes<br />

a day from three storage sheds, the security<br />

business has grown into an expansive enterprise<br />

with a 300,000 square foot production<br />

and distribution facility in Payson, <strong>Utah</strong>, that<br />

employs 350 workers who produce between<br />

350 and 750 safes daily.<br />

From the beginning the owners have used<br />

the latest state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art procedures and<br />

recruited highly skilled and trained employees<br />

who are comfortable and capable in a<br />

high tech world. Equally important, however,<br />

is that Liberty Safe is an American company,<br />

and the overwhelming majority <strong>of</strong> its parts<br />

and services come from the United States.<br />

(The company recently invested in a $10<br />

million high end production line to bring<br />

all <strong>of</strong> their entry-level safes back to the U.S.)<br />

Twenty-five years ago, people typically<br />

kept their guns in wood cabinets that usually<br />

<strong>of</strong> UTAH<br />

featured a glass door with a simple lock that<br />

would only deter a toddler. Liberty saw the<br />

need for security with built-in measures<br />

against fire, theft and the danger <strong>of</strong> easy gun<br />

access. The company launched with the idea<br />

<strong>of</strong> promoting a high-quality safe to store and<br />

keep guns. Hunters and shooters remain a<br />

core audience—but the business quickly<br />

expanded to help all homeowners protect<br />

what they value most.<br />

Liberty Safes are designed for multiple<br />

purposes in a variety <strong>of</strong> styles, colors and<br />

finishes; plus options, such as a monitoring<br />

device that detects motion and sends you<br />

a text message, Biometric finger swipe<br />

technology, interior lighting and accessory<br />

door panels.<br />

At one end are small two-foot high and<br />

two-foot wide home and <strong>of</strong>fice safes to hold<br />

valuable documents and other treasures. At<br />

the other are large capacity safes that can<br />

hold up to seventy-two guns. In reality, there<br />

are as many uses as there are owners who<br />

want their valuables more secure, whether<br />

it is a valuable painting, camera equipment,<br />

computer hard drives, ammunition, baseball<br />

cards, laptop computers, jewelry, sentimental<br />

memorabilia or even gold and silver<br />

bullion stored as a hedge against<br />

the dollar.<br />

Designed especially to guard<br />

against fire and theft, Liberty Safe<br />

and Security is built on three prongs:<br />

• Quality,<br />

• Service, and<br />

• Reliability.<br />

And they have a proven reputation<br />

that reinforces these objectives.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> their safes, for example,<br />

survived San Diego wild fires and<br />

2,000 degree temperatures. Another<br />

flew 200 feet during an F4 tornado<br />

in Tennessee and landed upright and<br />

intact. In both instances the owners’<br />

valuables survived, and the owners<br />

received a new safe as part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

company’s lifetime guarantee.<br />

There is nothing like a real life<br />

situation to show the value <strong>of</strong> a<br />

steel-cased safe, but Liberty Safe also<br />

tests products aggressively on site.
