TECHNOLOGY

Our technology sets us apart.

Through proprietary innovations like PolyCeramic Barrier Technology and S.L.I.D.E., our TL-rated safes are up to 40% lighter than traditional composite models — without surrendering a single rating. Lighter to install and quieter to operate.

POLYCERAMIC BARRIER TECHNOLOGY

40% lighter. Zero compromise.

Revolutionizing safe design. Our PolyCeramic Barrier Technology makes Legion safes up to 40% lighter than traditional composite models, easing installation in any setting — while maintaining the most rigorous UL security standards.

Rated to UL TL-30 / TL-30×6

Robust resistance against drilling, cutting and tampering — exceeding standard composite construction.

Lightweight by function

Installable in historical buildings, upper floors and load-restricted rooms without structural reinforcement.

Environmental sustainability

Less material, lower transport energy.

Composite fire performance

Engineered to maintain certified fire ratings alongside burglary resistance.

Our signature Polyceramic Barrier Technology makes our safes 40% lighter than traditional models while maintaining the highest security standards.

The technology integrates the locking mechanism directly into the door of the safe, which automatically slides into the wall as it closes.

S.L.I.D.E. TECHNOLOGY

Seamless protection. Superior fire resistance.

S.L.I.D.E. integrates the locking mechanism directly into the door of the safe, which automatically slides into the wall as it closes. The result is smoother, more secure operation than any traditional bolted system.

 

Integrated locking mechanism

Boltwork rides the door body itself — no external linkages, no exposed throw bolts to attack.

 

Solid locking across the safe

As the door slides into position it creates a continuous lock spanning the full height of the safe, with additional locking points at top and bottom.

 

Improved fire resistance

The sliding action produces a tighter seal — better closure performance at high temperatures than bolted systems.

 

Environmental benefits

Traditional safes rely on bolt coatings that can be harmful to the environment. S.L.I.D.E. eliminates the need for them.

BURGLARY RATINGS EXPLAINED

From UL RSC to TRTL-30×6: what the labels actually mean.

Underwriters Laboratories ratings define exactly what a safe must withstand and for how long. Insurance coverage is bound to these certifications. Use this guide to match a rating to what you intend to store.
