About Us: Sturdy Gun Safe Manufacturing is a leading U.S. manufacturer of high-security commercial gun safes and vault doors, proudly serving clients nationwide. Established in 1959 and headquartered in Fresno, California, we have built a reputation for unmatched durability, precision craftsmanship, and responsive customer support. As a trusted repair station for all major safe brands, Sturdy continues to set industry standards in both product innovation and service.

With over six decades of experience, Sturdy Gun Safe Manufacturing has earned the confidence of numerous law enforcement and government agencies across the country. Approximately 30% of our sales are to the Department of Justice, police departments, sheriff’s offices, police academies, Homeland Security personnel, and other security-focused entities.

Now operated by the fourth generation of the founding family, our company remains committed to the same core values that shaped its beginning—strength, reliability, and American-made quality.

American Made: At Sturdy Gun Safe Manufacturing, we are proud to manufacture 100% of our safes using American-assembled components and U.S.-sourced steel. We prioritize American-made materials whenever possible and are committed to supporting domestic industries at every stage of our production process. Our team is made up entirely of skilled American workers who uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship and integrity.

Because we fully control our manufacturing process right here in the United States, we offer a level of customization that most gun safe manufacturers simply can’t match. From tailored dimensions to specialized security features, our in-house capabilities allow us to deliver solutions that meet the unique needs of our customers—without compromise.

Value-Driven Manufacturing: Sturdy Gun Safe Inc. is recognized for delivering exceptional value by offering high-security safes with heavy-duty steel construction—without the inflated price tags. Our competitive pricing is a direct result of strategic, long-term investments in our own facilities and equipment, allowing us to operate efficiently with minimal overhead. By owning our manufacturing infrastructure, we eliminate unnecessary markups and pass those savings directly to our customers.

At Sturdy, we believe in honest business. We're not here to chase luxury lifestyles—we're here to build the strongest safes possible and provide a sustainable living for our team. Rather than investing heavily in advertising, we rely on our reputation. For decades, word-of-mouth has been our most powerful marketing tool. When you choose a Sturdy Safe, you're joining a community that values integrity, performance, and American craftsmanship.

At Sturdy Gun Safe Inc., our mission is guided by a set of foundational principles that shape every product we build and every relationship we cultivate:

• We believe our safes should be built to a true commercial standard—engineered to endure the toughest conditions and last for generations.

• We believe in exceeding expectations. The best way to earn trust is by delivering exactly what our customers expect—or better.

• We believe in operating with integrity, guided by Christian principles that influence the way we treat our customers, our team, and our business partners.

• We believe in earning every dollar through hard, honest work. We're hands-on, deeply involved, and dedicated to our craft—often too busy building to take much time off.

• We believe every Sturdy Safe owner becomes part of our extended family. That’s why we stand behind our products with lifetime customer support and an unwavering commitment to service.

These values aren't just words—they're the foundation of a company that's been trusted by families, professionals, and government agencies for over six decades.
