Zanotti Armor
Zanotti Armor safes stand apart as industry leaders due to their advanced security features, simple assembly, and enhanced portability. At Zanotti, we're proud to offer an ultra-secure, enduring, and easily movable standard safe, as well as many lock, interior and color options so our customers can make their safes their own.

We don't mass-manufacture; only one size fits you. To create a more durable, secure, and functional safe, Zanotti does things differently, from manufacturing to shipping to assembly. We encourage our customers to visit our FAQs page below to become more acquainted with our unique, quality-focused process.

Unlike many other safe manufacturers, Zanotti Armor of Waterloo, Iowa handcrafts each of its safes right here in the U.S., focusing on precision details to provide a higher level of security, a more vibrant appearance, and a greater durability. Watch our assembly to learn more! I can testify to the ease of moving the ZA-2 into my basement and its simple assembly; further to the challenge of getting the much smaller old safe it replaced out.
Services
All Zanotti Armor safes feature a number of standard components for enhanced security and usability, including 3/16" recessed-plate steel doors with a 3/8" drill-resistant hardened lock plate, a triple relocking system, and raised floor platforms. We pride ourselves on offering customized options so you can create the safe that works best for you.
Zanotti Armor gun safes are manufactured to provide a higher level of craftsmanship, security and durability, while still providing easy assemble and portability. Based in Waterloo, Iowa, we're gun safe experts that offer American-made quality and smart design with every safe! Keep reading to learn the unique features that help Zanotti safes stand apart.
At Zanotti Armor, we build gun safes that are easy to assemble and disassemble and that offer sturdy, multi-layer security components so you can place your safe almost anywhere with confidence that it will keep your valued possessions protected. Because we're focused on quality products that are easy to use, we've created a series of videos that address common topics so you can get the most out of your Zanotti Armor safe!
Each safe is shipped in three-to-four boxes, and no lift gate or fork truck is needed. A two-wheel hand dolly is often used for transporting the unloaded boxes from the truck to your home or business for safe assembly. This process ensures simple shipping, delivery, and assembly of your fine-crafted, durable Zanotti safe.
With all potential safe orders, the Zanotti Armor staff prefer to communicate directly with customers; it helps us best understand the type of safe you're looking for, and it allows you to see our commitment to quality products and craftsmanship! If you are looking for more information on Zanotti Armor gun safes, or if you would like to place an order, please feel free to give us a call or visit our store.

My son bought me a safe at an estate sale. It needed a new lock. They invited my son and I too there factory. Gave us a tour and put a new lock in. Incredible craftsmanship! This safe is 10 years old and looks brand new. Everyone there was very helpful. These safes are built too last a lifetime. Thank you!

Great business making a great product! Unbeatable customer service! Military friendly, they worked with me when my orders were changed so I was able to my safe delivery changed to my new location. Getting a safe flat packed also allowed me take delivery by myself without heavy lifting equipment!

Dont own a gun safe (yet) but stopped by while in the area to check them out. They are very impressive! They have one in their show room that was rolled down a ravine and beat with a sledge hammer to show the durability of their modular design. It's pretty beat up but still opens and closes. Also, the staff is very nice and offered us a tour through the shop. Everybody there has been with the company a long time and has pride in their craftsmanship. I will definitely be ordering one.

Ordered the Z2, 6' model. Zanotti only makes their safes to order, they do not stock any. I am 1.5 hours from Waterloo so I picked the unit up and brought it home. I got the components in the house, put the cabinet together which is all straightforward and simple. The part I needed help with was the door, at 175 pounds was a bit much for me these days but I decided to try it anyway. Long story short, I got the top pin in and the bottom one missed, the door swung and I bent the top pin. I called Zanotti and was told to bring the door in along with the top that I scratched the paint on. Travis took

Awesome company that makes a quality product!
I opted to pick up my safe in person since I was only a few hours away from the factory. Mike took time out of his day to give me a personal tour of their new factory and walk me through the entire production process.
Needless to say, I left impressed and could easily tell that they take pride in their product and everything they do.
As for the safe itself, it's extremely well built and assembly was a breeze. Comparing it to the Browning safe I already had you it's quickly evident that the Zanotti safe is of much higher quality and craftsmanship

Makers of a first rate safe. Outstanding customer service.

Each safe is made to order, the wait to get your safe will be months, not days or even weeks. Each safe is made in Iowa so you are supporting American jobs.

The biggest benefit to their products is you can take the safe apart. Very key for those who move often, need to fit the safe in an unconventional space or for those who do not want people to know they have a safe.

Business here is old fashioned. You call in, place your order and send a check. They do not have a method of ordering online and they do not accept credit cards.
