If you want fire protection for important documents, cash, and a handgun or two without committing to a full-size gun safe, the HGS-6E is built for that exact need. It's the smallest safe in Hollon's Hunter Series, with 1.45 cubic feet of interior space behind 12-gauge steel and a 45-minute fire rating at 1400°F. The construction is the same Hollon build used on the larger HGS-11 and HGS-16, scaled down to a footprint that fits on a closet shelf, inside a bedroom cabinet, or under a desk.
At 22.75 inches tall, the HGS-6E is not a long gun safe. It's a fireproof safe for the items most people don't think about until they need them: birth certificates, passports, deeds, Social Security cards, wills, jewelry, cash, hard drives, and a handgun or two. Anything you'd be devastated to lose in a house fire fits here.
The body is 12-gauge steel. Plenty of safes in this price range are built with 14 or 16-gauge instead, which is actually thinner (a higher gauge number means thinner steel, which is one of the more confusing parts of safe shopping when you start out). The door is held shut by six 1.25" solid steel locking bolts with three active bolts and three deadbolts on the hinge side, and the lock mechanism sits behind a drill-resistant hard plate. Behind that, an auxiliary relocker is set to fire automatically if someone tries to punch or drill the lock out, freezing the bolts in place even if the primary lock is destroyed. At 115 lbs., the HGS-6E is light enough that a thief could pick it up and walk out, so bolting it down matters more on a safe this size than on a 400-pound model. Four pre-drilled mounting holes and the hardware to anchor it to a shelf, wall, or floor come standard.
The 45-minute fire rating at 1400°F means the safe's interior stays below 350°F for at least 45 minutes in a 1400-degree fire. That 350°F threshold is the temperature where paper starts to brown and become brittle, so the documents and valuables you store inside will come out intact even after the room around the safe is gutted.
The lock is a UL-listed Type 1 S&G electronic keypad from Sargent & Greenleaf, the same brand used on most commercial and government safes. It opens fast and lets you set and change your own code. If you'd rather have a mechanical S&G Group 2 spy-proof dial (no batteries, no electronics, built to last decades), it is available at no extra charge.
Inside, the HGS-6E offers 1.45 cubic feet of usable space (20 inches tall, 15 inches wide, 8.38 inches deep) with a multi-flex shelving system that lets you reconfigure for documents, jewelry trays, or a handgun and accessories. The door features deluxe pistol pockets for handguns, magazines, or other small items you want close at hand. On the outside, the safe is 22.75 inches tall, 17.75 inches wide, and 15 inches deep, making it suitable for most closet shelves, inside a bedroom cabinet, or under a desk without taking up too much space.
Every HGS-6E 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. If you're not sure whether the HGS-6E is the right size for your documents and valuables, or whether the keypad or dial lock is the right choice for you, give us a call at 800-207-2259, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM PST. We'll walk you through it.
