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.
