AMSEC AMVAULT CF2518 TL-30 High Security Composite Safe

The AMSEC AMVAULT CF2518 is one of the most trusted high-security safes in the country. Backed by a UL TL-30 burglar rating and a 2-hour fire certification, it's built for businesses and homeowners who need real protection, not just heavy steel.

During independent UL testing, the AMVAULT withstood a full 30 minutes of attacks with professional-grade tools, including power saws, carbide disc cutters, drills, and sledgehammers. In every test, it earned the TL-30 label without compromise. 

This safe also passed a 2-hour / 1850°F fire endurance test, keeping internal temperatures below 350°F to protect documents, cash, jewelry, records, and sensitive valuables.

Frequently Asked Questions – AMSEC AMVAULT CF2518 TL-30 Safe

What does a TL-30 rating mean?

A TL-30 rating means the safe has passed a rigorous UL (Underwriters Laboratories) burglary test, withstanding 30 minutes of continuous attack using high-power tools such as drills, electric saws, carbide cutters, grinders, and pressure tools. This is one of the highest commercial ratings available.

Is the CF2518 suitable for business use?

Yes. The CF2518 meets Mercantile & Broadform Insurance Class TL-30 requirements and carries a Bank Rating of G (TL-30). It’s commonly used by jewelers, pharmacies, dispensaries, pawn shops, and retail stores, as well as any business handling high-value inventory or cash.

How fire-resistant is the CF2518?

The safe is factory tested for 2 hours at 1850°F, keeping the interior below 350°F, which protects paper records and most heat-sensitive valuables during a severe fire.

What can I store in this safe?

The CF2518 is ideal for storing:

  • Cash drawers and till drops
  • Jewelry and precious metals
  • Documents and legal records
  • Pharmaceuticals or controlled substances
  • Hard drives and small electronics
  • Collectibles and high-value personal items

Can I upgrade the lock to an electronic keypad?

Yes. The CF2518 comes standard with a UL Group II mechanical combination lock, but you can upgrade to an electronic keypad or a UL Listed Group 1R Lock. Electronic locks offer faster access and easier code changes.

How heavy is the CF2518, and can it be bolted down?

The safe weighs 1,195 pounds and comes with two recessed anchor holes plus an anchor bolt kit. Anchoring it to the floor is recommended for maximum theft resistance.

What makes this safe different from a regular home or office safe?

Most home safes rely on basic steel panels or light fire insulation. The CF2518 uses a multi-layer composite barrier with steel fibers, nuggets, and proprietary materials that resist advanced tools and severe attacks. It’s designed for professional-grade security, not just casual theft.

Is the door difficult to open because it’s so heavy?

Despite the door’s high mass, it opens smoothly thanks to oil-impregnated bearings and a fully adjustable hinge system designed for long-term use.

Can this safe be customized?

Yes. Available upgrades include interior configurations, extra shelves, electronic locks, glass relockers, and more. For custom options, contact our Safe Experts at 800-207-2259.

Does this safe qualify me for lower business insurance?

Many insurers require a TL-30-rated safe for storing cash, jewelry, or high-value goods. In many cases, the CF2518 meets or exceeds insurance requirements and may help you qualify for lower premiums. Always check with your insurance provider for their specific guidelines.

How does this compare to a TL-15 safe?

The TL-30 offers more than double the burglary protection of a TL-15 safe. TL-15 safes must resist 15 minutes of tool attack, while TL-30 safes must resist 30 minutes using more advanced and powerful tools. If the budget allows, stepping up to TL-30 significantly increases your security.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is shipping really free?

Yes. Free delivery is included on every safe we sell, anywhere in the lower 48 states. The specific delivery method depends on the safe's weight: small package delivery for under 150 lbs, curbside, or garage delivery for heavier safes. See full shipping details →

How long will this take to arrive?

Shipping timelines vary by product. Check the availability status at the top of this page for the estimated ship date. Once shipped, transit time typically runs 5–10 business days, depending on your location. You'll receive tracking when the safe leaves the warehouse. Safes under 150 lbs ship via UPS or FedEx Ground, no appointment needed. Safes weighing 150 lbs or more ship via freight (LTL); the freight carrier will contact you directly to schedule a delivery appointment once the safe reaches your local terminal.

Can you deliver it inside my house and bolt it down?

We don't provide inside delivery directly, but we work with third-party installers across the country who do. Here's how it works: call us at 800-207-2259 for a recommendation in your area, and we'll provide the names and phone numbers of installers we've worked with. You contact the installer directly to arrange pricing for delivery and installation. Once you've agreed on a price, place your order with us using the installer's address as the shipping destination. The installer receives the safe, inspects it, and schedules your final delivery appointment. Some installers prefer to pick the safe up directly from the freight terminal. See inside delivery details →

Will this fit through my doorway?

Check the product's exterior dimensions (listed above) against your narrowest passage, interior doorways, stair landings, and tight turns. Most people remove the safe from the pallet before moving it indoors, so the safe's actual dimensions are what matter for doorways. Standard interior doorways (30–32" clear) accommodate most residential safes, but measure before ordering. Call us if you're uncertain. See where to locate your safe →


Can I change the combination myself?

Electronic locks: yes; it takes about 30 seconds. Instructions are included with your safe. Mechanical dial locks: no, changing a dial combination requires a licensed safe technician. Important: attempting to change a dial combination yourself (or having an unlicensed locksmith do it) voids the lock warranty. A licensed safe tech maintains the warranty. See lock operating instructions →


What if it arrives damaged?

Call us immediately — while you have 24 hours to report damage, calling right away gets the claim filed faster. Take photos of the damage and packaging before moving anything. For minor cosmetic damage, we typically send touch-up paint plus a partial refund. For significant damage, we send replacement parts or arrange a full replacement. Order Protection (optional at checkout) speeds refund payouts to 48–72 hours vs. 30–60 days through standard freight claims; replacement safes ship on the manufacturer's normal timeline regardless. See receiving your safe →

What's your return policy?

We offer a 30-day return policy on unused, in-original-condition products. The return freight for a heavy safe is substantial, so we strongly encourage you to call us before ordering if you're unsure about fit or configuration. See full return policy →

Can I place my order by phone?

Yes. Call us Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm Pacific at 800-207-2259. You have two options: we can take the full order by phone (we pause the call recording before you read your card number, so payment info is never stored), or we can build your order and email you a payable invoice link so you can enter your own payment details securely.
