Diamond-Embedded Armor Plate™

Glass-Guard™ Relock System

Auto-Relock System

Door defense systems consist of devices that are designed to deter and prolong a break-in attempt. Some of the sophisticated systems that Champion Safe uses are:

 

Inner Door Steel: A quality safe will have a full layer of inner door steel.

 

Hardplate Lock Protection: Pieces of hardened steel plate are placed between the inside of the safe’s door and the lock. The goal is to protect the lock from drilling or punching. In the safe industry three types of hardplates are generally used: Case-hardened mild steel, Ball Bearing, and Diamond hardplate. Of these three types of hardplate, diamond provides the highest level of protection. Champion uses only diamond hardplate on all its models.

 

• Diamond-Embedded Armor Plate™–Industrial diamond is bonded to a tungsten steel alloy hardplate. Diamond is harder than either a cobalt or carbide drill. When drilling is attempted the diamond removes the cutting edge from a drill – thus dulling the drill bit to where it will not cut.

 

Relockers: A relocker is a device that locks up the safe’s boltworks when activated by heat, force to the lock or by drill attempts. Champion uses several types of relockers:

 

• Glass Relocker–Tempered glass is placed between the inner door steel and the lock. If broken, through drilling or punching. It releases a secondary mechanical system which prevents movement of the boltworks.
  
  
• Heat Relocker–S&G® locks have an insert that melts at a low temperature, preventing movement of the boltworks.
  
  
• Mechanical Relocker–This relocker is usually mounted on the back of the safe’s lock. If the back of the lock is forced off, it releases, locking up the boltworks.
  
  
• Remote Relocker–This system is usually attached to either a mechanical or glass relocker, but is located at random locations inside the safe’s door.
