AMSEC Star C5 – Medium Size In-Floor Tube Safe

When looking for reliable discrete protection look the safe that has been the favorite of gas stations fast food chains, retail stores and homes for over 70 years. The C5 and other Star in-floor tube safes have filled that niche. These safes are an excellent choice for hidden security providing protection from burglar and fire (when properly installed).

Floor safes, including the model C5, are designed to provide discrete security. These safes are installed in the floor, out of sight of burglars and visitors of all kinds. With in-floor installation these safes are a space saving solution as well. No need to take up floor space just install in ground and cover with carpet or a rug and use the space as you desire.

The C5 is a step above most floor safes with its “C” rate door and “B” rate tubular body. Floor safes are typically security rated either Class B or Class C based on the thickness of steel with C-rate being a step above B-rate. Designation as C-rate requires a steel door of at least 1” and B-rate a steel door of less than 1”. The thicker the steel the longer it would take to get into the safe.

The locking mechanism on the C5 is a manipulation resistant, unitized key changeable mechanical lock that is protected by a revolving carburized hardplate. This lock has a removable dial allowing you to put the dial in a separate hidden location making it nearly impossible to defeat the lock. Add to that a drill and drive resistant spindle and three locking bolts each requiring over 25,000 pounds to shear.

The door of the C5 is securely held in place by three solid steel locking bolts each requiring over 25,000 pounds to shear. And, each bolt is backed up by a hardened steel positive relocking bolt. With all this security built into the safe you can rest and travel with complete peace of mind. With all this security built into the safe you can rest and travel with complete peace of mind.

For the commercial user the C5 and larger C7 Star tube safes offer an optional dual key inner compartment with a deposit slot. Dual key access means the manager can hold one key and employee or armored car driver holds the second. This enables effective cash handling systems to reduce or eliminate internal theft as well as burglary. See models CD5 and CD7.

Proper installation of floor safes involves encasing the safe in concrete below floor level. Once installed the C5 has a high impact plastic cover plate with a rubber ring that holds it snuggly in place and resists water. Still, we recommend moisture sensitive items be sealed in Ziplock bags or air tight plastic storage containers. This protects in the case of water coming in from above as well as any humidity that may build up when the safe is sealed for long periods of time.
