The Hollon FB-450C is the entry point into Hollon's Oyster Series, a line of combined fire and burglary safes that sit between Hollon's HS office safes (fire-only) and their TL-15 commercial safes. If you want both a 2-hour fire rating and meaningfully heavier burglary construction than an HS-series office safe in the same footprint, plus the mechanical reliability of a UL-listed dial instead of an electronic keypad, the FB-450C is the smallest and most affordable step into that combined-protection tier. It delivers a 2-hour fire rating at 1,850 degrees Fahrenheit (JIS & GOST certified), two massive 1.5-inch moving front bolts, a 1-inch thick vertical locking bar on the hinge side, a heavy-duty vault-style hinge, a UL Listed Sargent & Greenleaf Group 2 dial, and a 215-pound cabinet on a 17.71 by 20-inch footprint.
Where the Oyster Series stands out from a standard fire-only office safe is its construction, which is designed to resist a burglary attempt. Two massive 1.5-inch moving front bolts extend into the door frame when the safe is locked, and a full 1-inch-thick vertical locking bar runs along the hinge side of the door from top to bottom. On the FB-450C, even if the hinges are cut off, the door still can't be removed because the locking bar holds it in place from the inside. The heavy-duty vault-style hinges are the same class used on much larger commercial safes, and a high-intensity internal auxiliary relock device engages if the lock is punched or drilled in a forced-entry attempt. Note that the FB-450C carries Hollon's own manufacturer burglary construction designation rather than a UL burglary rating, so if your insurance requires a UL-rated burglary safe for high-value contents, you would need to step up to Hollon's TL-15 line.
The 2-hour fire rating at 1,850 degrees Fahrenheit is a real step up in fire protection over most consumer safes. Most residential fireproof safes are rated for 30 to 45 minutes at 1,400 or 1,550 degrees Fahrenheit. A 2-hour rating at 1,850 degrees Fahrenheit is meaningfully more conservative than the typical residential or commercial fire (which peaks around 1,100 to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit and is usually suppressed by the fire department within 20 to 30 minutes). That extra margin matters if you're storing genuinely irreplaceable documents, if your building has slower fire response times, or if you want your files to come out of a worst-case fire intact. The safe is independently certified to both Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) and GOST fire testing standards. Construction uses a Portland-cement-based insulation between the inner and outer steel walls, and an intumescent door seal expands to 8 times its original size when exposed to heat, sealing the door against smoke and superheated air infiltration. The FB-450C is also 30-foot impact-rated, simulating the safe survival of a second-story floor collapse onto concrete during a building fire.
The FB-450C comes standard with a UL Listed Sargent & Greenleaf Group 2 mechanical dial combination lock, factory-set with a combination that ships to you with the safe. S&G is the industry-standard lock brand used across banking, government, and commercial safe applications, and Group 2 is a UL-tested lock certification class trusted in commercial vault applications. There are no batteries to replace, no keypad electronics to fail, and no firmware to worry about, which is why many long-term owners specifically choose a dial over an electronic lock. If you'd prefer a digital keypad for faster access and the ability to reset your own code, this same safe is available as the FB-450E with an S&G electronic keypad.
The interior measures 11.67 inches tall, 14 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, for a total of 1.23 cubic feet of usable space. That's compact by Oyster Series standards and sized for high-value documents, jewelry, small cash bags, a handgun, or a limited number of file folders rather than a full office archive. One adjustable interior shelf lets you divide the compartment into two levels for smaller items on top and larger items below. If you need more interior space with the same burglary construction, Hollon's FB-685C, FB-845C, FB-1054C, and FB-1505C step up in capacity and weight from here while sharing the same locking bar, vault hinge, and 2-hour fire rating.
On the outside, the safe is 17.71 inches tall, 20 inches wide, and 20.50 inches deep (add 3 inches for the handle and hinges). At 215 pounds, the FB-450C is heavy for its size but not in the weight class where the safe alone will stop a determined burglar. One pre-drilled bottom anchor hole is included along with the mounting hardware, and Hollon strongly recommends bolting the safe to a concrete or solid floor so a thief has to attempt entry in place rather than removing the safe and cracking it open later at their leisure. The grey-white finish gives it a clean look that fits in an office or closet without standing out as an obvious "safe." Every FB-450C is backed by Hollon's Lifetime Fire Warranty: if the safe is damaged in a documented fire, Hollon will replace it. If you have questions about whether the FB-450C is the right fit for your protection needs, or if you should step up to a larger Oyster Series safe or a TL-15 for insurance-rated burglary protection, give us a call at 800-207-2259, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM PST. We'll walk you through it.
