When only the highest level of firearm protection will do, the Steelwater MAX Series 43 Long Gun Safe (MAX723928) stands in a class of its own. Designed for serious collectors, professionals, and homeowners who refuse to compromise on security, this extreme-duty safe delivers unmatched fire resistance, advanced burglary protection, and cutting-edge access control — all wrapped in Steelwater’s most robust construction to date.

With the capacity to store up to 43 long guns and engineered using 3-gauge (¼”) solid steel, the MAX723928 is built to defend firearms, optics, documents, and valuables against theft, fire, and forced entry — even under the most extreme conditions.

Built for Maximum Fire & Burglary Protection

At the heart of the MAX Series is its extraordinary fire resistance. This safe provides 150 minutes of fire protection at 1875°F, thanks to five layers of fireboard combined with an additional fire-barrier layer throughout the walls, ceiling, floor, and door jambs. A heat-activated expandable door seal expands up to eight times its size in a fire, sealing out smoke, heat, and water damage.

Security doesn’t stop at fire protection. The MAX723928 features (20) oversized 1½” solid steel locking bolts, now 25% longer for superior pry resistance. Thirteen active chrome-plated bolts and seven inactive bolts secure all four sides of the door, eliminating vulnerable attack points — even if the hinges are compromised.

Extreme Steel Construction You Can Trust

Unlike standard gun safes, the MAX Series uses 3-gauge steel construction — among the thickest available in residential safes. The 5⅛” composite door includes a ¼” solid steel plate, reinforced by a gear-driven locking system, a massive drill- and ballistic-resistant hard plate, and an internal spring-loaded relocker that secures the safe if the lock is attacked.

This safe doesn’t just meet standards — it exceeds them, offering the confidence serious firearm owners demand.

Advanced Access Control with EMP Protection

The EMP-proof digital keypad ensures access even in extreme electromagnetic conditions, while LED backlighting allows for effortless operation in low light. Two reprogrammable user codes provide flexible access control, and the double-bitted emergency bypass key ensures you are never locked out.

For ultimate versatility, the MAX723928 offers an optional X3 Biometric EMP-Proof Lock, allowing entry via fingerprint, digital code, or mechanical key, with support for up to 200 fingerprints — ideal for families, teams, or secured facilities.

Interior Designed for Organization & Convenience
