Frequently Asked Questions

How are Cannon safes made from start to finish?

Cannon safes begin as sheets of steel, which are bent and cut. They are then welded for structural integrity, followed by the addition of internal components for the body and door. The safes undergo pre-paint preparation, receive a hammer tone paint finish, have logos applied, and are then moved to final assembly where locks, keypads, and interior organizers are installed. Finally, they are cleaned, boxed, and prepared for shipping.

What is the role of welding in Cannon safe manufacturing?

Welding is a crucial step in Cannon safe manufacturing. It is used to join the bent and cut steel pieces together, forming the basic shell of the safe. This process is essential for building the structural integrity of the safe, ensuring it is robust and secure before further components are added.

How does Cannon Safes ensure the quality of its locks?

Cannon Safes implements rigorous quality control for its locks. During the manufacturing process, each lock is checked a total of eight times to guarantee its functionality and reliability before the safe is completed and shipped to the customer.

What types of interior storage are available in Cannon safes?

Cannon safes feature a variety of interior storage solutions built in-house. These include organizer kits for the door panel, gun racks, top shelves, and center dividers, all designed to maximize storage space and provide a finished look within the safe.
