American Security - CE Series

CE1814 - 25" x 21" x 21.5" (H x W x D) / Textured Charcoal Gray / Mechanical - Standard

Current Price $4,188.00
The CE Series sits at the entry point of our certified TL commercial lineup, positioned below the TL-30 and TL-30x6 vaults we also carry. Each model pairs a 6-inch composite door with a 3 1/2-inch reinforced composite wall, backed by steel hardplates and a spring-loaded relocking device that guard the lock and boltwork from direct attack. A UL Listed Group 2M mechanical combination lock comes standard, with electronic lock and three-way boltwork upgrades available for operations that want them. The real decision with a TL-15 safe is not whether it is strong, but whether TL-15 is the certified level your operation actually needs, which is the question we help answer before you buy.

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

Choose this model if:

Choose the CE Series if your cash, jewelry, or document exposure genuinely calls for independently tested tool-attack resistance, and TL-15 matches your insurer's or industry's actual requirement rather than a rating you are reaching for just to feel secure.

Best For:

Choose the CE Series if your business holds enough cash, jewelry, or documents that uncertified commercial construction no longer feels adequate, and an independently tested UL TL-15 rating matches what your risk profile and insurance review actually call for. It fits jewelers, pawn shops, and similar operations stepping into certified protection for the first time.

Not Ideal For:

The CE Series is not the right fit if your insurer or industry specifically requires a TL-30 or higher rating, or if your inventory value has grown to a point where TL-15's certified limits no longer match your exposure. It is also not built for DEA, pharmacy, or bank vault compliance requirements.

What Makes the CE TL-15 Different

A UL Listed Group 2M mechanical combination lock is standard, with a key-locking spy-proof dial, a plain spy-proof dial, or electronic ESL5 or ESL10 locks available if your operation prefers keypad access. Multiple large locking bolts secure the door on at least two sides, and a three-way boltwork upgrade adds coverage for operations that want it.
The CE Series door is 6 inches of composite construction, layering steel with a proprietary composite fill the same way our TL-30 models do, engineered specifically to pass UL's TL-15 forced-entry testing. The 3 1/2-inch body walls carry that same multi-layer construction around the sides. That is genuine tested defense, not a thickness number chosen for its own sake.
Steel hardplates sit behind the lock and boltwork, engineered to resist drilling attempts aimed directly at those components. A spring-loaded internal relocking device deadlocks the safe automatically if someone manages to defeat the primary lock, so a single point of failure does not open the door. Optional electronic locks and a three-way boltwork upgrade let you add convenience or coverage on top of the certified base build.

Adjustable shelving comes standard, with shelf count scaling from one shelf on the smallest CE1814 up to four shelves on the CE6528 and CE7236. Custom interior configurations are available if your cash, jewelry, or document storage needs a specific layout.
Every CE Series safe wears the same textured charcoal gray finish and chrome hardware across all seven sizes, and every unit is built in the USA.

Security Construction & Burglary Protection

UL TL-15 certification means an independent lab attacked the safe with a standardized set of tools for a defined test period, and the safe resisted entry through the door. The CE Series earns that certification with a 6-inch composite door, 3 1/2-inch composite walls, and hardplates and a relocking device that protect the lock and boltwork specifically. That is a materially different claim than an uncertified heavy-duty construction description, since it has actually been tested rather than described.

Highlight

UL TL-15 certification means an independent lab tested this safe's resistance to forced entry, not just its construction specifications on paper.

Certified Fire Protection & What It Means

The CE Series is rated for 120 minutes of protection at 1850 degrees Fahrenheit under standardized fire test conditions. That rating reduces, rather than eliminates, fire risk to contents, and we can confirm the specific certifying body behind this rating before your order ships.

Highlight

Rated for 120 minutes of protection at 1850 degrees Fahrenheit under standardized test conditions, which reduces but does not eliminate fire risk to contents.

Lock Type & Access Options

Day-to-day access runs through a UL Listed Group 2M mechanical combination lock, with electronic ESL5 or ESL10 options available if your operation prefers keypad entry. Our team walks through combination changes, access procedures, and lock options during installation so your staff has a clear process from day one.

Highlight

Adjustable shelving scales with the size you choose, from one shelf on the smallest model to four shelves on the largest, with custom configurations available.

Interior Storage, Shelving & Organization

Once your shelves are configured around your cash trays, jewelry cases, or document storage, day-to-day use is straightforward: dial or key in your combination, open the door, and close it behind you. The interior layout stays flexible enough to adjust as your inventory or storage needs change.
Adjustable shelving comes standard, with shelf count scaling from one shelf on the smallest CE1814 up to four shelves on the CE6528 and CE7236. Custom interior configurations are available if your cash, jewelry, or document storage needs a specific layout.

Installation, Placement & Bolting Down

Installation planning often determines long-term satisfaction. A CE Series safe can weigh close to 5,000 pounds on the largest models, so we confirm floor load capacity, doorway clearance, and freight access before delivery day. We coordinate after-hours delivery for retail and jewelry locations that cannot have a safe move through customer-facing space during business hours, and we anchor every commercial installation before we leave the property.

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

Highlight

Our team plans delivery and placement around your building and your schedule, so a safe weighing up to nearly 5,000 pounds arrives and sets in place without surprises.

Is This Protection Level Enough for Your Situation?

TL-15 Certified Protection Sized to Match Your Actual Risk


The CE Series sits at the entry point of our certified TL commercial lineup, positioned below the TL-30 and TL-30x6 vaults we also carry. Each model pairs a 6-inch composite door with a 3 1/2-inch reinforced composite wall, backed by steel hardplates and a spring-loaded relocking device that guard the lock and boltwork from direct attack. A UL Listed Group 2M mechanical combination lock comes standard, with electronic lock and three-way boltwork upgrades available for operations that want them. The real decision with a TL-15 safe is not whether it is strong, but whether TL-15 is the certified level your operation actually needs, which is the question we help answer before you buy.
Step Up If:Consider stepping up to our CF or CFX Series if your inventory value grows, if your insurer specifically calls for a TL-30 or TL-30x6 classification, or if your risk profile changes enough that TL-15's certified limits no longer match your exposure.
More Than Needed If:If your operation is still working with modest cash or inventory exposure, a C-Rate or UL RSC rated commercial safe may cover your risk at a lower cost, and the step up to certified TL-15 protection can wait until your exposure actually justifies it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does UL TL-15 certification translate to real-world commercial burglary resistance?
UL TL-15 certification means an independent lab attacked the safe with a standardized tool set for a defined test period, and the door resisted entry. The CE Series earns that rating with a 6-inch composite door and 3 1/2-inch composite walls. It is a tested claim, not a marketing description of how strong a safe sounds.
Does TL-15 mean only 15 minutes of protection against any attack?
No. TL-15 refers to a standardized UL test using a specific tool set for a defined period, not a countdown against every possible attack method. It measures resistance under controlled testing conditions. A safe that passes TL-15 has already proven something an uncertified heavy-duty safe has not: independent verification of its construction claims.
What is the difference between the CE Series and AMSEC's TL-30 rated safes?
The CE Series is UL TL-15 certified with a 6-inch composite door and 3 1/2-inch walls, while TL-30 models like our CF Series undergo a longer, more demanding UL test. TL-15 fits operations whose cash or inventory exposure calls for certified protection without the cost of the higher TL-30 classification.
What does it take to install a CE Series safe in a commercial space?
CE Series safes range from about 710 pounds on the smallest model to nearly 4,900 pounds on the largest, so floor load and doorway clearance matter. We confirm those details, plus freight access and after-hours delivery timing, before your delivery date, and anchor every unit once it reaches its final placement.
Will UL TL-15 certification satisfy my commercial insurance requirements?
Commercial insurance carriers commonly reference UL TL-15 in their coverage evaluations for jewelers, pawn shops, and similar cash- or inventory-heavy operations, but requirements vary by carrier and risk class. Confirm your specific policy terms with your insurance agent or broker. If your policy requires TL-30, our CF Series is the closer fit.
