The Hollon RG-42 Republic is the flagship of Hollon's Republic Series, built for the serious collector who wants top-tier fire protection in a 42-gun cabinet with the height and depth to handle full-length rifles, scoped guns, and stacked valuables. Whether you're outgrowing a mid-size 30 or 40-gun safe, you're consolidating multiple smaller safes into one large cabinet for a dedicated gun room, or you're committing to the last safe you'll ever buy, the RG-42 delivers a 2-hour fire rating at 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit, a 3-gauge steel door reinforced with a 1/4" solid steel plate, ten-gauge steel body, fourteen 1.5" chrome-plated solid steel locking bolts on all four sides of the door, and your choice of a UL Listed S&G electronic keypad or mechanical combination dial in a cabinet that's 72 inches tall and weighs 1,250 pounds.
The RG-42 carries Hollon's 42 long gun capacity rating. As with any gun safe, the number of rifles you'll actually fit depends on how many of yours have scopes, thick stocks, or other accessories mounted, so treat 42 as the target. The interior is 27.42 cubic feet (significantly more than the smaller RG-39 at 16.65), lined with an ultra-plush adjustable interior with full-length rifle racking, a steel-reinforced full-length top shelf rated to hold approximately 50 pounds, three smaller adjustable shelves you can position to organize handguns, ammo, and documents, plus a heavy pocket door organizer for magazines and accessories.
The body is 10-gauge steel, and the door is 3-gauge steel with a 1/4" solid steel plate welded to it for additional pry-bar resistance. That's a meaningfully thicker door than the 10 or 12-gauge construction on most gun safes in this size class. Fourteen 1.5-inch chrome-plated solid steel locking bolts run on all four sides of the door (4-way boltwork) to resist pry attacks from every angle. The lock mechanism sits behind a drill-resistant ballistic armored ball-bearing hard plate, and an active spring-loaded re-locker engages automatically if anyone tries to punch the lock through the door. The RG-42 is rated to the UL Residential Security Container (RSC) standard, which is the burglary-resistance benchmark most residential gun safes are measured against.
The 2-hour fire rating at 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit is the headline number on the Republic series and one of the longest fire ratings you'll find in this gun count and price range. Most gun safes in the residential market are rated for 30, 45, 60, or 75 minutes. 120 minutes means the safe's interior stays below 350 degrees Fahrenheit for at least two hours in a 1,400-degree fire. That 350-degree threshold is the temperature where paper starts to brown and become brittle, so deeds, passports, cash, ammunition, and the finishes on your guns will come out intact even after an extended fire in the room around the safe. The 2-hour rating matters most if your home is in a rural area with slower fire response times, if you're storing irreplaceable documents that need more than an hour of protection, or if you simply want the longest residential fire rating available in this size. A heat-activated expandable intumescent door seal runs around the door frame and swells when exposed to heat, blocking smoke, hot gases, and water from reaching the interior during a fire and the fire suppression that follows.
The RG-42 comes standard with your choice of a UL Listed Type 1 Sargent & Greenleaf electronic keypad or a Sargent & Greenleaf Group 2 mechanical combination dial at no extra cost. The electronic keypad opens faster and lets you change the combination yourself, while the mechanical dial doesn't rely on batteries and has the familiar feel many long-time gun owners grew up with. If you need more advanced lock features, the RG-42 supports upgrades to multi-user access, biometric fingerprint authentication, an audit trail, or redundant lock configurations at an additional cost. Give us a call to discuss which lock best fits your safe use.
The interior comes with an electric outlet and a UL-listed LED motion-sensor light kit installed standard. The light turns on automatically when you open the safe, so you can see what you're doing without flipping a switch, and the outlet lets you plug in a dehumidifier rod, charge a battery-powered accessory, or run any other safe-rated device through the sealed power feed. On most gun safes in this price range, these features are paid upgrades, so getting both standard on the RG-42 is a meaningful cost saving.
On the outside, the RG-42 is 72 inches tall, 42 inches wide, and 28 inches deep (add 3 inches for the handle), with 27.42 cubic feet of interior space. At 1,250 lbs., this safe is genuinely too heavy for DIY moving, and we strongly recommend professional safe movers for any delivery, especially anything involving stairs. Give us a call before you order so we can walk through your delivery path with you. Once the safe is in position, four pre-drilled mounting holes let you bolt it to a concrete slab or wood platform (mounting hardware sold separately).
Every RG-42 is backed by Hollon's lifetime warranty against fire and theft. If your safe is ever damaged in a documented house fire or break-in attempt, Hollon will replace it. The RG-42 is available in Gray or White textured finish, both with the upgraded chrome-plated hardware package. If you're trying to decide between the RG-42 and the smaller RG-39 or RG-22 in the Republic Series, or you want to compare the Republic's 2-hour fire rating to the 90-minute rating on the Hollon Black Hawk BHS-45E (similar footprint, different fire and construction spec at a lower price point), give us a call at 800-207-2259, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM PST. We'll walk you through it.
