Liberty Safe started out as an underdog. We had 8 employees who worked out of a storage unit, building just 6 safes a day. So how did we become America’s #1 safe manufacturer? With hard work and a focus on innovative technology and expert customer service.
Liberty Safe was founded in 1988 by Jay Crosby, an engineer and entrepreneur who had previously co-founded the Fort Knox safe company. When we began, we built our safes by hand and worried more about making high-quality gun safes than having a large output.
Customers appreciated our focus on quality, and before long Liberty was able to expand. Within a year, we moved into a 25,000 square-foot production facility in Provo, Utah. In 1995, Crosby sold Liberty Safe to an investor and the brand experienced huge growth, doubling its sales and profitability in less than 4 years.
Over the next few years, Liberty moved its main headquarters to Springville, Utah, while keeping its Provo facility running. We eventually added another facility in Provo, along with a 45,000-square foot distribution center in Spanish Fork, Utah. Throughout the years, we’ve invested in cutting-edge technology that has helped us produce consistently high-quality safes in larger numbers.
In 2001, we consolidated all of our operations to a 200,000 square foot facility in Payson, Utah. We have since expanded and now operate out of a 300,000 square foot facility, where we can produce up to 700 safes a day at peak capacity.
Liberty Safe currently employees nearly 400 Americans at our Payson, Utah facility. Plus, we support hundreds of independent Liberty Safe dealers throughout the U.S.A. Around 95% of the products we sell are American made, and we’re proud to be America’s top-producing safe manufacturer.
Our focus on innovation, technology, and American-made durability has helped us differentiate our company from the competition. These are just a few of the innovations that have helped us make the best gun safes in the U.S.:
Liberty’s locking bars were designed to overcome this weak point. They’re one solid piece of 4”-wide steel, and they’ve been proven to be virtually impossible to pry past. In fact, in a pull test designed to see how long Liberty’s locking bars could withstand direct force attempting to pull the locked door open, they were 120% stronger than a similarly priced competitor’s safe.
Go ahead and check all the online reviews you can find and talk to any friend who owns a Liberty. Unparalleled customer service is such a part of our culture that we’re sure you won’t find any safe manufacturer who offers better support.
In addition to constantly innovating our safe designs, we also focus on improving our manufacturing processes. Our million-dollar paint process is one of the most environmentally safe paint systems in the U.S., removing 95% of all VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). Even California would be impressed! We also recycle the overspray from our powder-coating booth so there’s very little waste, making it more environmentally friendly.
We use state-of-the-art water jets to cut our fire-board to exact specifications that produce extremely tight tolerances. This means Liberty is able to put fire-board into areas other manufacturers leave unprotected. The one downside to this is that it can make for soggy, heavy fire-board waste. To counteract this, we extract the water back out of our fire-board scrap before disposing of it, which helps reduce waste.
Manufacturing processes like this have reduced our waste footprint by 90%.
Liberty Safe also produces a variety of private-labeled safes for large corporations such as Bass Pro/Cabela’s, John Deere, and CASE Construction. We also sell our Liberty-branded safes through a number of well-established retail chains such as Scheel’s, Tractor Supply Company, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Ace Hardware, and many regional farm stores.
In addition to our retail partners, we have 350 independent Liberty Safe dealers throughout the United States. These privately owned stores are a great place to see a huge selection of Liberties (most of our dealers carry our full Liberty lineup). Most also deliver and install our safes, so they can take excellent care of you and make your safe-buying process simple and worry-free!

At Liberty Safe, we’re serious about the promises we make to our customers. Our commitment to technology, innovation, American-made durability, and legitimate fire testing are just a few of the things that have made us the #1 safe manufacturer in the United States. Thanks for choosing Liberty!
