The Hollon BHS-45E Black Hawk is the largest gun safe in the Black Hawk Series, built for the serious shooter who wants top-tier burglary and fire protection in a flagship full-size cabinet. Whether this is your first gun safe and you're buying ahead of a collection you know will grow, you've outgrown our current gun safe and you're ready to commit to one safe for the long haul, the BHS-45E delivers 10-gauge steel through the body and door, a 90-minute fire rating at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit, sixteen 1.5" solid steel locking bolts, and a built-in EMP-resistant Military Grade I S&G electronic lock in a 45-gun cabinet that fits a dedicated gun room or finished basement.
The BHS-45E carries Hollon's 45-gun Comfort Fit capacity rating. In practice, the number of rifles you'll actually fit depends on how many of yours have scopes, thick stocks, or other accessories mounted, so treat 45 as the target. The interior is 31.34 cubic feet, lined with a foam-backed, cushioned, deluxe plush liner, with adjustable corded trim shelving, a steel-reinforced top shelf rated to hold around 50 pounds, and a heavy canvas pocket door organizer for handguns, magazines, and documents.
The body and door are both 10-gauge steel, which is notably thicker than the 12-gauge construction common on safes in this size class and price range. Sixteen 1.5-inch solid steel locking bolts run around the door perimeter to resist pry attacks, and the lock mechanism sits behind a drill-resistant ballistic hard plate. The door swings on Hollon's Never Sag vault-style hinges, designed to resist sag over decades of use and provide full interior fire coverage.
The 90-minute fire rating at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit means the safe's interior stays below 350 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 90 minutes in a 1400-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 a sustained fire in the room around the safe. The 90-minute rating is meaningfully longer than the 30, 45, or 75-minute ratings on most safes in this price range, which matters most if you're storing irreplaceable documents, family records, or valuables that need more than half an hour of protection. An intumescent door seal runs around the door frame and expands when exposed to heat, blocking smoke and hot gases from reaching the interior during a fire.
The BHS-45E comes standard with a UL Listed Type 1, Military Grade I EMP-resistant Sargent & Greenleaf electronic keypad. The EMP rating means the lock's electronics are hardened against electromagnetic pulse events that would knock out a standard digital keypad, giving you a more durable lock for long-term reliability. If you need more advanced lock features, the BHS-45E 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 includes a UL-listed, fire-resistant 3-plug power outlet with dual USB ports. The included Vista LED motion-sensor light kit (a $150 value) plugs directly into the interior outlet and turns on automatically when you open the safe, so you can see what you're doing without flipping a switch. You can also use the outlet to power a dehumidifier rod, charge a battery-powered accessory, or run any other safe-rated device through the sealed power feed.
On the outside, the BHS-45E is 72 inches tall, 45 inches wide, and 28 inches deep, with 31.34 cubic feet of interior space. The 45-inch width and 28-inch depth make this a flagship dedicated-space safe, so plan placement in a gun room, against a basement wall, or in any space with a clear delivery path from outside to the final spot. At 1,050 lbs., this safe is too heavy for a typical appliance dolly with two people, and we strongly recommend professional safe movers for any delivery beyond a flat ground-floor placement. Give us a call before you order so we can talk through delivery options. Once the safe is in position, four pre-drilled mounting holes and the included hardware let you bolt it to a concrete slab or wood floor.
Every BHS-45E 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 BHS-45E is offered in Gray or Red textured finish. If you're trying to decide between the BHS-45E and the smaller BHS-39E, BHS-22E, or BHS-16E in the Black Hawk series, or you have questions about whether the 90-minute fire rating and EMP-resistant lock are the right level of protection for what you're storing, give us a call at 800-207-2259, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM PST. We'll walk you through it.
