Liberty Safe · Gun Safe · Balanced Protection

45 Guns Rated. 42-Inch Wide Body. 75-Minute Certified Fire. Level 4 Balanced. 24-Inch Doorway.

The Liberty Fatboy Jr. brings the 42-inch wide-body format to Level 4 Balanced protection. Twelve-gauge steel body, 75 minutes of certified fire at 1,200 degrees, and 8 locking bars at 1/4-inch thick and 4 inches wide. At 60.5 inches tall, 42 inches wide, and 22 inches deep, the Fatboy Jr. delivers the wide-body interior layout in a 754-pound package with a 24-inch minimum doorway — one that fits through standard residential doors where the Fatboy's 30-inch requirement does not. Forty-five long guns rated, 27 to 34 at honest mixed load. If the wide-body format is right for your collection and the Fatboy's weight or doorway requirement is more than your installation handles, the Fatboy Jr. covers the ground it's designed for.

Fatboy Jr. vs. Fatboy: The Trade You Are Making

The Fatboy Jr. and the Fatboy share the same 42-inch wide body and 12-gauge steel. What the Jr. gives up: 35 minutes of fire protection (75 vs 110), four locking bars (8 vs 12), five inches of interior depth (14 vs 19), and the included Clearview lighting. What you gain: 222 pounds less weight (754 vs 976), a 24-inch doorway requirement instead of 30, and 15 fewer rated guns. If your installation works at 24 inches and 754 pounds, and 75-minute fire covers your property's exposure, the Jr. is the more practical choice. If you need the additional fire margin or interior depth, the Fatboy is the next step.

Buyer Profile

Who the Fatboy Jr. Is Built For

The Fatboy Jr. fits when you want the wide-body interior layout, your collection sits in the 20 to 34 long-gun range at realistic load, and your installation works at 754 pounds with a 24-inch doorway. It is not a step down from the Fatboy in body width — the 42-inch wide format is identical. It is a step down in fire rating, bar count, and interior depth. How to evaluate which protection level fits your collection and property.

Protection Profile

Level 4 Balanced, matching the Colonial at this tier. Same 12-gauge steel and UL Listed safe body as the Fatboy, with 75-minute fire and 8 locking bars rather than 110 minutes and 12. The wide-body format is the same at both levels. How Level 4 and Level 5 Balanced compare.

Capacity Reality

Forty-five long guns rated assumes standard firearms without scopes or accessories. At honest mixed load, expect 27 to 34 long guns. The 14-inch interior depth is shallower than the Fatboy's 19 inches — both are wide-body safes, but the Jr.'s interior is less deep. Size for your real collection. How to size a safe for your actual collection.

Placement Planning

At 754 lbs with a 24-inch minimum doorway, the Fatboy Jr. fits through most standard residential doors. The safe is still 42 inches wide — the full width has to navigate your entry route, not just clear the final door opening. Floor loading on wood-frame surfaces still needs a check. Call 208-454-8038 if your route or floor surface has any complications.

Deciding between the Fatboy Jr. and the Fatboy?

Both are on the Caldwell floor. The 5-inch difference in interior depth is easy to see in person once you open both doors side by side.

Construction Detail

Fire, Steel, and Wide-Body Interior: What Each Specification Means

Fire Protection

75 minutes certified at 1,200°F · Palusol heat-activated door seal

75 minutes — same fire rating as the Colonial at Level 4 Balanced

Seventy-five minutes at 1,200 degrees covers the typical residential fire scenario for valley-floor properties in Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon. It is 35 minutes less than the Fatboy's 110-minute rating — a real difference for properties in wildland-interface zones where structure fire exposure events have been documented at 60 to 90 minutes in recent regional seasons. For standard residential properties with fast fire department response, 75 minutes is more than enough. For wildland-interface properties, that margin tightens. The Palusol heat-activated door seal expands to block smoke and gases independent of the fire rating duration. What 75-minute fire protection means for your specific property.

Steel and Security

12-gauge steel · 8 locking bars at 1/4" thick × 4" wide · 3 hardened steel plates · dual relocker · UL Listed

The 12-gauge folded steel body matches the Fatboy's construction gauge. Three hardened steel plates protect the lock from drill attacks on all three approach axes. A dual relocker engages automatically if the locking mechanism is defeated by forced entry. The slip-clutch handle prevents torque from forced turning reaching the bolt work. Eight locking bars at 1/4-inch thick and 4 inches wide on 4 sides — four fewer than the Fatboy but the same thickness and width per bar. UL Listed safe body. California DOJ firearm safety device approved. UL-listed electronic lock standard, mechanical dial available.

Wide-Body Interior

56.5" × 38" × 14" interior · fully upholstered · single outlet kit · door organizer included

The 38-inch interior width is the same wide-body format as the Fatboy. What changes is depth: 14 inches versus the Fatboy's 19 inches. That 5-inch difference matters for how rifles lay out and how much room is left for handguns and documents alongside the main gun rack. A 14-inch interior depth works well for a collection organized primarily around long guns in a standard rack layout. It is less suited to a deep mixed-asset arrangement where ammunition, handguns, and documents all need dedicated space alongside the firearms. The interior is fully upholstered and adjustable. A single outlet kit and door organizer are included. Lighting is not included with the Jr. — it is available as an optional add-on; ask about it when you call to set up delivery. How wide-body interior depth affects collection organization.

Common Mistakes

Four Things to Get Straight Before You Buy

Misconception:

"Same 42-inch wide body as the Fatboy means it's basically the same safe."

Reality:

Same exterior width and steel gauge, but the Jr. has 75-minute fire versus 110, 8 locking bars versus 12, and 14-inch interior depth versus 19. The wide-body format is shared. The protection specifications are not identical. How the Fatboy Jr. and Fatboy compare spec for spec.

Misconception:

"45 guns means I can store all 45 of my rifles."

Reality:

Rated capacity assumes standard firearms without scopes, suppressors, or accessories. At honest mixed load, expect 27 to 34 long guns. The 14-inch interior depth is shallower than the Fatboy's 19 inches, which affects how a mixed collection organizes. Size for your real collection. How rated capacity and realistic capacity differ.

Misconception:

"24-inch doorway means it fits through any standard door without checking."

Reality:

The 24-inch doorway clears most standard interior doors. The safe is still 42 inches wide, which has to navigate your full entry route. Measure every corridor and turn on the way to the placement location, not just the final doorway. A tight hallway corner at 42 inches wide can stop an installation that a 24-inch doorway cleared with room to spare. How to measure your full entry route.

Misconception:

"The Jr. is the right step up from a Colonial because it holds more guns."

Reality:

The Colonial 50 holds 64 guns rated at Level 4 Balanced — more than the Fatboy Jr.'s 45 — in a taller 72.5-inch frame at similar fire protection. If maximum rated capacity at Level 4 Balanced is the priority, the Colonial 50 holds more. The Fatboy Jr. is the right choice when the 42-inch wide-body interior layout is specifically what you need for how your collection organizes. How the Fatboy Jr. and Colonial compare at Level 4 Balanced.

Honest Limits

What Level 4 Balanced Covers and What It Does Not

Level 4 Balanced is a residential classification. The Fatboy Jr. addresses common residential fire and forced-entry scenarios at the mid-range of what Balanced tier delivers. The 75-minute fire rating is a controlled test result — not a guarantee in an extreme exposure scenario. For wildland-interface properties where documented regional fire events have run beyond 60 minutes, 75 minutes gives you less margin than the Fatboy's 110 minutes. Eight locking bars and three hardened plates are meaningful deterrents against opportunistic forced entry, not barriers against a sustained professional attack.

If your property's fire exposure or your collection's value has moved past what Level 4 Balanced was designed for, the Fatboy at Level 5 is the immediate step up within the wide-body format — adding 35 minutes of fire protection and four locking bars at a 222-pound weight and 6-inch doorway difference. If you need Enhanced tier protection regardless of format, the Lincoln and Classic Plus add 10-gauge steel and 3/8-inch bars at 90 to 120 minutes of fire. How to evaluate which level your collection and property call for.

Protection Scale

Where the Fatboy Jr. Sits on the Protection Scale

The Fatboy Jr. sits at Level 4 Balanced, sharing that position with the Colonial Series. The Fatboy at Level 5 is the direct step up within the wide-body format. How all four protection levels compare in full detail.

Enhanced

Lincoln, Classic Plus, Classic Select, Magnum, Presidential. 10-gauge and 7-gauge steel. 90 to 150-minute fire. 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch locking bars.

Balanced Level 5

Fatboy, Franklin, Collector. 12-gauge steel. 110-minute fire. 12 locking bars. 42-inch wide body (Fatboy) or standard width. Direct step up from the Jr. within the wide-body format.

Balanced Level 4 You are here

Fatboy Jr., Colonial. 12-gauge steel body. 75-minute certified fire. 8 locking bars at 1/4-inch. 42-inch wide body (Fatboy Jr.) or standard width (Colonial). 754 lbs. 24-inch minimum doorway. Security Level 4.

Essential

Centurion. 14-gauge steel. 30 to 40-minute fire. Entry safe tier.

Western Idaho & Eastern Oregon

The Fatboy Jr. for Wide-Body Capacity Where the Fatboy Does Not Fit

Idaho Safe & Vault has installed Liberty safes across Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon for 32 years, with over 3,500 installations. The Fatboy Jr. comes up when a collection has grown into wide-body territory but the installation cannot handle the Fatboy's 30-inch doorway or 976-pound weight. At 24 inches and 754 pounds, the Jr. fits through most standard residential door openings and lands on more floor surfaces without requiring structural assessment. Why buying from a factory-authorized local dealer matters for installation at this weight class.

We deliver and install in-house across the service area, anchor to the floor before we leave, and walk you through the lighting options at delivery since lighting is not included with the Jr. If you want lighting installed on delivery day, call 208-454-8038 before your order is placed so we can bring the right kit. For any placement involving a non-standard entry route or a wood-frame floor, call ahead and we will walk through the logistics before anything is scheduled.

Installation and Delivery

24-Inch Doorway Clears Most Standard Doors. Still 42 Inches Wide — Measure the Full Route.

The Fatboy Jr.'s 24-inch minimum doorway clears most standard residential interior doors without the tight margin the Fatboy's 30-inch requirement creates. What does not change: the safe is 42 inches wide, and that full width has to navigate through every corridor, turn, and threshold on the route to the placement location. A hallway that is 44 inches wide at the straight section may narrow to 36 inches at a corner. Measure the full route. How to walk your entry route before ordering a wide-body safe.

We handle delivery and installation in-house across Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon, anchor the safe before we leave, and walk through lighting options on delivery day since the Fatboy Jr. does not include lighting. For wood-frame floor placements or any route that needs pre-delivery assessment, call 208-454-8038 before placing the order so logistics are worked out in advance. Why in-house installation matters at this weight class.

Caldwell Showroom

See the Fatboy Jr. and Fatboy Side by Side

Both safes are at the Caldwell showroom with both doors open. The 5-inch difference in interior depth between the Jr.'s 14 inches and the Fatboy's 19 inches becomes clear when you look inside each one and think about how your collection would lay out. Most people who come in uncertain between the two resolve it quickly once they see the difference in depth with their collection in mind.

"The Jr. is where a lot of people land when they want the wide-body layout but the Fatboy's 30-inch doorway is more than their installation handles. At 24 inches and 754 pounds, it fits through doors the Fatboy cannot get through, and it goes on more floor surfaces without requiring a structural conversation. The trade is real — 75 minutes versus 110, 8 bars versus 12 — and worth understanding before you decide. Most of the time, once someone sees both open side by side, the choice is clear for their situation."

Decision Guide

Is the Fatboy Jr. the Right Safe for Your Situation?

The Fatboy Jr. Is Right If:

Level 4 Balanced covers your property's fire exposure and your collection's security needs, and your collection sits in the 20 to 34 long-gun range at realistic load.
The wide-body interior format is specifically what you need — 38 inches of interior width in a 42-inch exterior — and a standard-width safe does not work for how your collection organizes.
Your installation has a 24-inch clear doorway but cannot handle the Fatboy's 30-inch requirement or 976-pound weight.
You are comfortable with lighting as an optional addition at delivery rather than an included feature.

Consider the Fatboy (Level 5 Balanced) Instead If:

Your installation handles 30-inch doorway clearance and 976 pounds, and you want 110-minute fire protection, 12 locking bars, the deeper 19-inch interior, and Clearview lighting included.
Your collection has grown to 25 or more long guns at realistic load and the extra interior depth is useful for organization.

How to decide between the Fatboy Jr. and Fatboy for your collection and installation.

Consider the Colonial Instead If:

You need maximum rated capacity at Level 4 Balanced and a wide-body interior layout is not specifically required. The Colonial 50 holds 64 guns rated at the same fire protection level in a taller standard-width body.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Fatboy Jr. compare to the Fatboy?

Same 42-inch wide body and 12-gauge steel. The Jr. has 75-minute fire versus 110, 8 locking bars versus 12, and 14-inch interior depth versus 19. It weighs 754 pounds versus 976 and needs a 24-inch doorway versus 30. Lighting is not included with the Jr. — it is an optional add-on. If your installation handles the Fatboy's requirements and the additional fire rating is warranted for your property, the Fatboy is the better product. If the Jr.'s specs fit your situation, the lighter weight and smaller doorway requirement are real practical advantages. Full Fatboy vs. Fatboy Jr. comparison.

Why does the Fatboy Jr. hold fewer guns than the Colonial 50 at the same fire rating?

The Colonial 50 is taller (72.5 inches vs 60.5 inches) and holds 64 guns rated in a standard-width interior. The Fatboy Jr. is shorter and wider — the 42-inch wide-body format gives you accessible interior width rather than additional height. If maximum rated capacity at Level 4 Balanced is the priority and the wide-body layout is not a specific requirement, the Colonial 50 holds more. The Fatboy Jr. earns its place when the wide-body interior layout is the reason for the purchase.

Does the Fatboy Jr. come with lighting?

No. Lighting is not included with the Fatboy Jr. — it is available as an optional add-on. The Fatboy includes Clearview lighting; the Jr. does not. If you want lighting installed at delivery, call 208-454-8038 before placing the order so we can bring the right kit on delivery day rather than scheduling a return trip.

Is 27 to 34 guns really the realistic capacity?

Yes. The rated 45 assumes standard firearms without scopes, suppressors, or accessories in a full long-gun configuration. At honest mixed load with scoped rifles, handguns, and other valuables alongside, 27 to 34 long guns is what a real collection fills. The 14-inch interior depth is shallower than larger safes, which affects how mixed contents organize. Size for your actual collection contents, not the rated number.
