Meet the AMSEC BFII7240 BFII Series Gun Safe, the only residential gun safe series on the market with a UL RSC Level II burglary rating. AMSEC built the BFII line for serious collectors who want commercial-grade security without paying for a TL-rated commercial safe. Half-inch solid steel plate doors, 4 way active locking with fourteen 1.5 inch chrome bolts, and an ETL-certified 2 hour fire rating put this series in a category of its own.
The BFII7240 is where the BFII series moves from residential to serious gun room territory. At 71.25 inches tall and 40 inches wide, it accommodates 38 long guns total (36 inside plus 2 on the door), or up to 58 if you configure for all long guns without the shelving system. The extra height matters for long-barrel hunting rifles and shotguns that don't fit comfortably in 59 inch interior safes. At 1991 pounds, this safe needs a slab floor, a basement, or a properly assessed first-floor location. Plan delivery carefully: at this size and weight, you're looking at professional white glove placement rather than curbside drop-off. Ideal for collectors with mixed long-gun and tactical inventory who've outgrown a 24-gun safe.
All six BFII safes share the same UL RSC Level II burglary rating, ETL 2-hour fire certification, and proprietary DryLight insulation. They differ in size, capacity, weight, and placement use case. Here's how the BFII7240 fits within the series:
If you're still deciding, the BFII6030 is the most popular size and a safe starting point for most collectors.
The BFII7240 holds 36 long guns (12-12-12-24-36 + 2 Gun (or 58 + 2)) and weighs 1991 lbs, with exterior dimensions of 71.25" H x 40" W x 26" D and an interior of 66.75" H x 35.5" W x 18.75" D. Inside, AMSEC's All-In-One interior provides a flexible mix of long gun racking, adjustable shelving, and a premium door organizer with padded handgun holsters. Built-in LED lighting with a mirrored back panel and a 3-outlet power strip with USB ports round out the package.
The entire BFII series is the only residential gun safe line on the market with a UL Residential Security Container Level II rating, and the BFII7240 is no exception. UL RSC Level II is a 10-minute attack test (twice the duration of standard Level I), conducted by two attackers using more sophisticated tools including pry bars, hammers, chisels, and electric drills. To pass, the safe must resist any 6-square-inch opening or full door access for the duration of the test. AMSEC's BFII passed it.
The construction backing that rating includes a half-inch solid steel plate door, an 11-gauge outer steel body with a 5/16 inch (0.3125") inner steel liner for nearly half an inch of combined steel barrier, an active drill and ballistic resistant hard plate over the lock, and an active spring-loaded re-locker that automatically deadbolts the safe if the lock is attacked or the glass plate trigger breaks during a drill attempt. The 4 way active locking system places fourteen 1.5 inch chrome plated locking bolts on all four sides of the door, with the hinge side bolted into the body so removing the hinges does not allow the door to come off.
The BFII7240 carries an ETL Verified fire rating of 120 minutes (2 hours) at 1200°F, with interior temperatures certified to remain below 350°F throughout the test. ETL (Intertek's Electrical Testing Labs) is one of the two recognized independent testing bodies in the safe industry, alongside UL. ETL Verified means the rating is independently tested and certified, not a manufacturer-claimed number. 2 hours is the highest fire-resistance certification ETL grants in this category, double what most residential gun safes offer.
The fire protection is built around AMSEC's proprietary DryLight insulation, a poured concrete-composite fire barrier that fills the space between the inner and outer steel walls, eliminating the gypsum board and seams that lower-end safes rely on. DryLight forms a continuous, gap-free thermal barrier that reinforces the steel structure while protecting the interior from heat. A dual fire seal system surrounds the door: a high-temperature silicone seal on the door jamb plus a Palusol heat-expanding seal that swells up to eight times its original thickness when temperatures rise, sealing the door against flames, smoke, and water from firefighting efforts.
Each BFII7240 ships with a UL Listed Group 2 S&G combination dial lock as standard. Lock upgrades are available at order time:
The BFII7240 is configurable in 15 finish options to match your style. Textured colors include Textured Black, Textured Granite, Textured White, and Textured Spa Blue. High Gloss colors include Onyx, Platinum, Charcoal Metallic, Pearl Essence, Sapphire Blue, Ironside Green, Reign Purple, and Thermal Blue. Two-Tone combinations include Black & Granite (texture/texture), Onyx Gloss & Black (gloss/texture), and Charcoal Metallic & Granite (gloss/texture).
Need a different combination? Custom 2-tone pairings are also available, mixing any high-gloss door with any textured body, or any two textured colors in door/body pairings. Decorative wrap doors with options like USA flag and other graphic designs are available as a special-order item. If you'd like a custom color combination or wrap door not shown in the variants, contact us before ordering and we'll arrange the build for you.
Hardware (handle and dial finish) is selectable in Black Nickel, Chrome, or Brass to match your finish choice.
The BFII7240 is made in the USA by American Security Products, in business since 1948 and one of the most respected names in the industry. AMSEC backs the BFII series with a 5-year parts and labor warranty plus a special lifetime warranty covering damage from burglary attempts and fire. Insurance companies recognize the UL RSC Level II rating for maximum premium discounts on covered firearm collections.
