"Nothing Protects Like a Cannon" is the motto of Cannon Safes, one of America's leading manufacturers of safes. For over 40 years Cannon has been a pioneer in secure storage product design, manufacturing and technological advancement in the safe industry. Part of the promise to their customers is ULTIMATE security FOR LIFE. Cannon is the only company to have a warranty that offers parts, labor and freight (all free) for repair of your safe after attempted burglary, flood or fire.

There are five main series of Cannon safes. They are:

1. Traditional Series
2. Cannon Series
3. Patriot Series
4. American Eagle Series
5. Safari Series

Lets take a look at each of these series of Cannon safes, to see how they differ or are similar and what each one has to offer.

Let's start with the best! Top of the line is the Traditional Series (Rounded Body) of Cannon safes. The Traditional safes set the world standard of how safes should look and protect. Elegant inside and out, the Traditional safes have rounded edges outside, which besides looking good, gives the safe added strength and rigidity to the body. The inside features plush upholstery and oak faced shelving. The safe itself is made of high quality materials and the best security design. In fact, it is rated best-in-class for fire protection. It is verified to protect your valuables for 90 minutes against temperatures up to 1200°F. Door is a 2-1/4" double steel composite with 1-1/2" active locking bolts on the top, side and bottom. The Traditional Series comes standard with a high security commercial grade Type 1 electronic lock and is secured with surefire multiple re-lockers. Deluxe handle is 5-spokes. If you want the best, and price is not an issue, then a Cannon Traditional safe is for you.

The Cannon Series (Security You Can Depend On) of Cannon safes is a safe without compromise offering the same protection and advantages of other safes costing hundreds more. It is verified and ranked to protect for 60 minutes in heats up to 1200°F. The Cannon Series features a nice beveled edge body with titanium plated locking bolts and a 3-spoked handle (gives you that 'opening a bank vault' feeling seen in the movies!), and a 1-1/2" thick steel door. It comes with a Commercial grade Group 2 lock with key-locking dial, and the security of surefire multiple re-lockers to protect from burglary. Safes are pre-drilled for bolting to the floor and a pre-drilled dehumidifier hole. Inside also has plush upholstery on the shelf, inside walls and door panels. The Cannon logo is silk-screened on to the door, and the classic look is finished off with the detailed pin striping. Inside is adjustable shelving with multi-use features to help protect a variety of important items.

The Patriot Series (The Ultimate Value in Security) of Cannon safes is a full-featured safe in a more affordable price range. It is Cannon quality with 1" steel composite door, 1" active locking bolts, and 12-gauge uni-body construction. It is fire resistant for 30 minutes at 1200°F. Also pre-drilled for bolting to the floor and a dehumidifier hole. The Patriot safe is finished in a durable matte paint with the Patriot logo silk screened on the front. Comes in 3 sizes with the three spoked handle.

The next series, and most affordable, is the American Eagle (Strength and Security). This series offers Cannon quality and security with 1" steel composite door and 12-gauge uni-body construction, just like the Patriot Series. It is verified fire resistant and is the ultimate value in safes for protecting your valuable possessions. These Cannon safes are finished in a durable matte paint with a silk-screened American Eagle logo. Available in three sizes, it is pre-drilled in the bottom for bolting to the floor and has a pre-drilled dehumidifier hole. Comes standard with a Mechanical Group 2 lock with key-locking dial.

Finally, there is the Safari Safe Series (The Ultimate Security Solution), which is further broken down into the Dangerous Game Series and the Serengeti Series. The Safari Series was designed to capture "the spirit and intrigue of the Safari. The Safari Series will dare to stir the mind and soul of those that seek adventurous travel to far away, exotic and mysterious locations." The Dangerous Game safes have 2-1/4" double steel composite doors, 1-1/2" active locking bolts and a 5-spoke handle. Rated fire protection for 90 minutes at 1200°F. The Serengeti comes with a 1-1/2" steel composite door, top and sides and a 3-spoke handle. Rated fire protection for 60 minutes at 1200°F. Both series are pre-drilled to bolt to the floor and have a pre-drilled dehumidifier hole They come with a Commercial grade Type 1 electronic lock and multiple re-lockers, and a cool Safari logo silk-screened on the front (varies according to sub-series )and decorative pin-striping.
