Five criteria weighted by importance for precious metals storage.
Key technical data for the Hollon MJ-1014E.
The Editorial Verdict
The Hollon MJ-1014E is a TL-30-rated home safe from Hollon Safe. UL rating designations are independently verified — TL stands for "Tool-Resistant Locked," and the number reflects the minimum minutes of net working time a team of attackers using common burglary tools could not breach the door.
For precious metals investors, the key question is whether the safe's rating matches the value of what's inside. Our scoring weights attack resistance (30%) most heavily, followed by fire protection and build quality. The specifications table above reflects verified manufacturer data for this model.
Bottom Line
The Hollon MJ-1014E is where most serious home storage investors should start. TL-30 certification is the meaningful threshold — tested to resist 30 minutes of sustained attack with common burglary tools. The price-to-protection ratio here is genuinely excellent.
