American Security - CSC Series

CSC1413 - 19.5″H x 18″W x 19.875″D

Current Price $1,623.00
The CSC Series packs UL RSC Level 1 burglary certification and a 120-minute ETL fire rating into a footprint small enough for a closet, bedroom, or home office. Double-wall steel filled with high-strength poured concrete and a 4 5/8-inch composite door create real resistance to pry bars and drills, while a tungsten-carbide hardplate protects the lock from direct drill attacks. This sits toward the upper end of AMSEC's residential lineup for its size class, positioned as premium compact protection rather than an entry-level safe. Our team at The SafeMarket sees this series chosen most often by homeowners who need real UL-certified security but don't have room for a full-size gun safe or vault-style unit.

Who This Safe Is Best For — and When to Consider More

Choose this model if:

Choose the CSC Series if you want genuine UL RSC Level 1 burglary certification and an extended fire rating in a footprint compact enough for a closet, bedroom, or home office.

Best For:

Homeowners who need genuine UL RSC Level 1 burglary protection and an extended fire rating but are working with limited space, such as a closet, bedroom, or home office. A strong fit for jewelry, documents, and cash where certified construction matters more than raw interior capacity.

Not Ideal For:

Households that need to store multiple long guns or a large volume of documents and valuables, since the CSC Series' compact footprint caps interior capacity well below a full-size home safe or gun safe.

What Makes the CSC Series Different

Access runs through an electronic keypad lock, so household members can set their own code without a physical key to track or lose. Four solid steel locking bolts engage across the door on every closure, and a glass relocker deadlocks the mechanism automatically if the lock is tampered with. The tungsten-carbide hardplate behind the lock adds a layer of drill resistance most compact home safes don't carry.
The CSC Series body is double-wall steel filled with high-strength poured concrete, backed by a 4 5/8-inch composite door with a concrete core. That construction is what earns the UL RSC Level 1 burglary certification, an independently tested rating rather than a manufacturer claim about steel gauge alone. A tungsten-carbide hardplate sits behind the lock specifically to stop drill bits from reaching the locking mechanism.
Every CSC Series safe includes a Lifetime Fire Replacement Warranty, so if the safe is ever involved in a qualifying fire, AMSEC replaces it. A glass relocker backs up the four solid steel locking bolts, engaging automatically if the primary lock mechanism is attacked. Between the warranty and the relocker, the CSC Series is built with the assumption that a real fire or a real attack attempt can happen, not just a theoretical one.

The CSC1413E1 holds 1.24 cubic feet. The CSC1913E1 holds 1.68, about 35 percent more, in a taller cabinet. Both sit on rubber feet that spare your floor, and both fit a closet or home office.
Both CSC Series sizes finish in Textured Charcoal Gray with a Brushed Aluminum handle, a look that reads as serious security hardware rather than a repurposed filing cabinet. The compact footprint is a real design feature here, not a limitation: it's built specifically to fit tight spaces like closets, bedrooms, and apartments where a full-size safe wouldn't work.

Security Construction & Burglary Protection

The CSC Series resists theft through UL-certified construction rather than steel thickness alone. Double-wall steel filled with high-strength poured concrete and a 4 5/8-inch composite door earn the safe its UL RSC Level 1 rating, an independently tested standard for resistance to pry bars, drills, and other forced-entry tools. Four solid steel locking bolts and a glass relocker keep the door secured even if the primary lock is attacked. This doesn't make the safe impossible to open given unlimited time and the right equipment, but RSC Level 1 certification means it has already been tested against a real, defined attack standard.

Highlight

UL RSC Level 1 certified, double-wall concrete-filled steel body, 4 5/8-inch composite door, and four solid steel locking bolts with a glass relocker.

Certified Fire Protection & What It Means

AMSEC rates the CSC Series at 120 minutes of fire resistance at 1200 degrees Fahrenheit through independent ETL testing. That two-hour window is well beyond what most standard home safes offer, giving jewelry, documents, and cash a meaningfully longer protection window during a real house fire. AMSEC backs every CSC Series safe with a Lifetime Fire Replacement Warranty, replacing the safe if it's ever involved in a qualifying fire.

Highlight

Lock Type & Access Options

Day-to-day access runs through an electronic keypad, so you can set a personal code and get in quickly without carrying a physical key. The glass relocker sits behind that convenience as a safeguard: if someone tries to force or manipulate the lock, the relocker deadlocks the bolts automatically rather than leaving the door vulnerable.

Highlight

Electronic keypad lock for quick daily access, with a glass relocker and tungsten-carbide hardplate protecting the mechanism.

Interior Storage, Shelving & Organization

Inside, the CSC1413E1 offers 1.24 cubic feet of storage, and the CSC1913E1 steps up to 1.68 cubic feet, about 35 percent more capacity in a taller cabinet. Both sizes ship with rubber feet already installed, so there's no separate step to protect your flooring on installation day.

Installation, Placement & Bolting Down

Installation planning often determines long-term satisfaction. At 256 to 318 pounds depending on size, the CSC Series is manageable for most doorways and hallways, but a final floor location and clear path still matter before delivery day. Our installers anchor the safe in place once it's positioned, which meaningfully improves its resistance to being tipped or moved during a burglary attempt. Confirming that placement in advance keeps delivery day simple.

One of the simplest ways to increase resistance is proper anchoring.

Highlight

Our team delivers and anchors every CSC Series safe, so you get the full benefit of its certified construction from day one.

Is This Protection Level Enough for Your Situation?

UL RSC Level 1 Protection in a Compact, Closet-Ready Footprint

The CSC Series packs UL RSC Level 1 burglary certification and a 120-minute ETL fire rating into a footprint small enough for a closet, bedroom, or home office. Double-wall steel filled with high-strength poured concrete and a 4 5/8-inch composite door create real resistance to pry bars and drills, while a tungsten-carbide hardplate protects the lock from direct drill attacks. This sits toward the upper end of AMSEC's residential lineup for its size class, positioned as premium compact protection rather than an entry-level safe. Our team at The SafeMarket sees this series chosen most often by homeowners who need real UL-certified security but don't have room for a full-size gun safe or vault-style unit.
Step Up If:Consider stepping up if you're planning to store a full gun collection, a large volume of documents, or you specifically want more interior capacity than the CSC Series' two available sizes provide. AMSEC's larger Enhanced Protection models add capacity along with heavier construction.
More Than Needed If:If you're only protecting a small stack of documents and everyday valuables without a specific need for UL RSC certification, an Essential Protection home safe will typically cover that risk at a lower cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a two-hour fire rating on a home safe actually protect the contents inside?
A two-hour fire rating means the CSC Series was independently tested to hold a safe interior temperature for 120 minutes at 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. It's not a guarantee that contents survive any fire, since real house fires vary widely. In our experience, that window covers most house fires before structural collapse.
Does a longer fire rating mean a home safe is also more resistant to burglary?
A fire rating and a burglary rating measure separate things. The CSC Series' 120-minute fire rating comes from its concrete-filled construction, while its UL RSC Level 1 rating comes from independent testing against pry bars and drills. We find buyers sometimes assume one certification covers both risks, but AMSEC tests and certifies each separately.
What does UL RSC Level 1 certification actually mean for the CSC Series' construction?
UL RSC Level 1 means the safe's body and door passed independent testing against forced-entry tools like pry bars and drills. The CSC Series earns that rating through double-wall steel filled with poured concrete and a composite door, not steel gauge alone. A tungsten-carbide hardplate behind the lock adds drill resistance at the safe's most vulnerable point.
How much room does a 256 to 318 pound safe actually need in a closet or home office?
The CSC Series is built for tight spaces, but delivery still needs planning. At 256 to 318 pounds depending on size, both models fit through most standard doorways, though the final closet or office location should be confirmed first. Our installers anchor the safe once it's placed, which most improves how it performs in an actual burglary attempt.
Is the CSC Series enough safe for a growing jewelry or document collection, or should I size up?
For jewelry, documents, and cash in a space-limited home, the CSC Series is enough protection to start with, and the larger CSC1913E1 adds about 35 percent more capacity for growth. It's worth sizing up once you're storing a full gun collection or a much larger volume of valuables. We recommend buying for your current collection plus reasonable growth.
