The Shelter
The FamilySAFE is an all welded steel unit engineered to exceed FEMA’s performance criteria. This is accomplished by building a “NASCAR Type” safety cage and surrounding the occupants with class-three bullet resistant steel on the roof and all sides.
The unit can support over 100,000 lbs. stacked on top of it. That’s about 25 mid-sized cars. The unit has a very low threshold, allowing for easy entry by any person in a wheelchair or walker.
The Unit has one of the strongest doors available in the industry, and incorporates FamilySAFE’s patent pending SAFE-T Door. This unique system allows the door to be opened several different ways, ensuring that getting trapped inside is next to impossible. The original unit door is held closed using three matching stainless steel class-one deadbolts that are all keyed alike. These deadbolts allow the unit to be used as a vault or gun safe and in some instances qualifies as a tax deduction.
Certified
“I got a sense of FamilySAFE’s integrity early on when we first discussed proper selection, sizing, and spacing of anchors.”
~HILTI Corp.
“Your willingness to be inside the shelter during some of the test illustrates your confidence in the shelter you are producing.”
~Texas Tech
Convenient
Because the FamilySAFE is prefabricated in a controlled environment, there is no need for extra digging, cement forming, plywood working, panalized construction, or valuable downtime.
Installation can take as little as one hour, and will meet all government safety regulations and building codes.
Efficient
Today, it is possible for almost any home to allow the occupants to be above ground, high and dry. There is no need to go out into the weather to escape the weather.
The appearance and space efficiency of a FamilySAFE make it a great addition to any home, garage or shop.
