When you buy a Pendleton, you get more than just a secure place to store your valuables–you get a state-of-the-art system for managing your most prized firearms and possessions. Each Pendleton is host to an array of practical and unique features that distinguish them from the competition and make organizing, accessing and protecting your collection easier than ever.

REVOLUTION TECHNOLOGY ^TM

At the heart of each Pendleton Safe, a unique circular design with modular shelving system rotates 360° at the touch of a button (on motorized models) to bring your guns directly to you. Non-motorized models are just as easy. Pendleton's shelving system comes equipped with handles that allow smooth manual rotation of the shelving unit. No more bangs, scratches or dents—just hassel-free access to your entire collection.

HIGH CAPACITY / SMALL FOOTPRINT

Don't be fooled by a Pendleton's small footprint. It's unique rounded design enables the safe to fit easily into corners or tight spaces without sacrificing storage capacity. With a fully-customizable modular shelving system, Pendleton safes are capable of comfortably storing up to 40 long guns and 54 pistols, for a total of 94 guns in a 72" tall, 32" diameter configuration! The rounded design also makes it extremely difficult for a thief to gain unauthorized access by laying the safe down and prying open the door. Since there are no flat surfaces, the safe will simply roll as force is applied, making it nearly impossible to acquire leverage!

SMARTER STORAGE BY DESIGN

We want you to take pride in your firearms. That's why Pendleton safes are designed with the innovative features you need to keep your collection organized, accessible and presentable. With a Pendleton, you'll be proud to show off your collection!

Innovative Pistol Shelving

Our specially designed pistol shelves comfortably house up to 18 pistols each, without touching! Their soft-to-the-touch rubberized grommets protect your pistols from abrasion.

Oversized Long Gun Barrel Ports

Our modular shelving system lets you choose the configuration that best suits your needs. Specially designed shelving units with barrel ports make it easy to store long guns with longer or oversized barrel lengths.

Brilliant Interior LED Lighting

Over 400 pure white LED lights illuminate the King Series interior, providing a crystal-clear view of your entire collection, even if the room is dark. A painted white interior reflects light to maximize brightness and visibility.

Electronic Moisture Control

An electronically-controlled moisture unit ensures that your safe stays free of unwanted moisture that can severely damage firearms and other valuables over time. A green LED light on the outside of the safe indicates that the unit is activated and circulating air.

Security is our priority at Pendleton. That's why all Pendleton safes are equipped with an array of advanced, industry-leading security features, created by accomplished engineers with extensive experience designing safes and ATM systems in the banking industry. Pendleton's security features reinforce all points of potential vulnerability – areas that professional safe-crackers can often exploit on other, lesser safes.

SOLID HIGH-STRENGTH, LOW-ALLOY THICK STEEL EXTERIOR

We don't mess around when it comes to steel thickness. Measured in inches, not gauges, our King Series safes are clad in 1/4" steel all around, while our Bishop and Knight Series feature 3/16" steel sides with 1/4" steel tops and bottoms. Our high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel is stronger per pound and more resistant to corrosion than typical carbon steel. From Wikipedia, "HSLA steel is commonly used in cars, trucks, cranes, bridges, roller coasters and other structures that are designed to handle large amounts of stress or need a good strength-to-weight ratio."

PLATE BOLT DESIGN PROVIDES 4X THE PROTECTION

Our unique plate-bolt design provides over 40 inches of solid steel surface area. That's approximately 4X more surface area needed to cut during a break-in, compared to the typical round-bolt design used by most other safe companies.

MACHINED FAIL-SAFE DOOR HANDLES

Pendleton safes employ a special fail-safe system to prevent forced entry. If excessive rotational force is applied, as in the event of a break-in attempt, the handle will shear off, preventing further tampering and disabling the handle mechanism.

100% FULLY WELDED SEAMS

Where other safe manufacturers use "chain-welding" to secure certain seams, leaving areas vulnerable to attack, we fully weld and grind smooth every square inch of seam on each safe body for a virtually seamless finished product.

LASER-CUT FOR PRECISE DOOR FIT

Our precision manufacturing facilities use laser cutting technology to achieve the tightest tolerances for all parts and mechanisms. With less than 90/1000" gap between the door and its frame, Pendleton safes are extremely resistant to pry-bar attacks.

LOCK-BOLT INDICATOR LED

A red LED indicator light on the safe exterior alerts you when the safe door has been left ajar, providing added security and peace of mind.

It's what's inside a Pendleton safe that places it among the finest in the industry when it comes to theft prevention and security. The following security features work behind the scenes to ensure the safety of your valuables.

SOLID 1/4" STEEL TOP AND BOTTOM

Burglars will often turn a safe upside down, exposing a vulnerable area on the bottom of a safe. All Pendleton safes are fully reinforced on the tops and bottoms with solid, 1/4" HSLA (High-Strength, Low-Alloy) steel.

CAM SYSTEM PREVENTS BOLT TAMPERING

All bolts operate on an innovative cam system that prevents tampering. If pushed on, our bolts push back proportionally, making it impossible to retract the bolts by force.

SPECIALLY DESIGNED BALL-BEARING HARD PLATE

Our specially designed hard-plate prevents drilling out of the lock, and protects the relocking mechanism from tampering. Our hard plates have been tested to resist a two-man break-in for at least 30 minutes.

FULLY REINFORCED DOOR FRAME

Depending on the model, Pendleton safe door frames are fully surrounded by a solid, 1/4" steel striker plate making the face of the safe between 9/16" to 3/4" thick for unrivaled security.

ADJUSTABLE HINGES FOR PRECISE FIT

Our hinges are adjustable up, down, left and right for the most precise door fit available. They are protected by over 20 inches of locking bar directly behind them. Cutting or tampering with the hinges is a waste of time.

BUILT TO BE BOLTED

All of our safes are pre-drilled for floor bolts, adding an extra layer of security and peace of mind.

Most mid to upper level safe companies boast impressive-sounding fire ratings that ensure protection for (X) amount of time with (Y) outside temperature, not to exceed 350 degrees inside the safe. However, these ratings are often deceiving due to the methods by which the safes are tested. As it stands, there is no standard set of tests specifically for evaluating the fire resistance of a gun safe. In fact, most companies use different private testing organizations to evaluate and assign fire ratings to their safes. These testing procedures often vary, and are exclusively based on how well paper documents resist damage as ambient temperatures rise. The problem with this approach is that most people incorrectly assume that paper in a safe will burn before a gun. This is not true. Since steel and other metals "gather heat" much more easily than paper, guns and other valuables will heat up more quickly and reach higher temperatures than documents in the same amount of time. You might notice this principle the next time you go outside to pickup the newspaper from your driveway on a hot summer day. While the hood of your car is too hot to touch, you can easily pick up the paper and carry it inside without any discomfort. It seems to go against logic, but it can all be explained by the scientific principle of Specific Heat Capacity.

When a safe is in a house fire, it acts like a huge convection oven – the fire outside the safe heats up the air inside the safe which, by convection, transfers heat to the firearms and valuables stored in the safe. How quickly your valuables become damaged by the fire depends on three things – the temperature inside the safe, the burning or melting point of the various materials that make up your valuables, and the specific heat capacity of those materials. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree. In other words, the higher a material's specific heat capacity, the more heat energy is required to raise the temperature of that material. Specific heat capacity is extremely important when taking into consideration the fire-rating of a safe. The paper document used in a typical fire-testing procedure has a specific heat capacity of 1.4 (Kcal/Kg °C) and an ignition point of 451°F. By comparison, aluminum, steel, gold and silver have much lower specific heat capacities of 0.91, 0.49, 0.13 and 0.23 respectively. This means that the steel barrel of your rifle or aluminum casing of your scope will heat up a lot more quickly and easily than any paper document in the safe. With an ABS plastic gun stock melting at 221°F and wood solids starting to break down at around 575°F, you can image how quickly a gun can become ruined under heat conditions that would cause little, if any damage to a paper document in the same safe. If companies began fire-testing their safes using guns and other valuables as the standard, rather than documents, they would find that conventional fireproofing does little to prevent the safe's contents from being quickly destroyed by a typical house fire.

We are so confident in our safes that every unit comes standard with a non-transferable limited lifetime warranty guaranteeing its structural integrity.
