Are Liberty Safes warrantied in a flood event? What do you need to tell Liberty? I spoke with Mike Wards and Liberty factory. They both said no warranty and we had to purchase replacement felt and our own sheetrock. I didn't ask about future fire warranty, but I'd imagine it is now void since I had to gut the safe.

If Cannon includes as part of their warranty and Liberty does not, that probably changes my mind on my next safe.

I drained and dried my Fatboy within days. Don't plan on replacing the sheet rock, maybe the carpet. However, my shelves are sagging bad. I didn't expect anything free, but good to know that cannon gives freebies. My dad's cannon was 8' underwater and doesn't like to open now.

I do want to know why a flood should be considered part of warranty. Insurance? Yes. Warranty? No. Ford didn't give me a new truck even though my flooded one was within 36k miles. I mean it even ran like shite (with a motor and transmission full of water)!

Cannon does warranty flooding. Everyone is getting brand new safes.

Liberty replaces the safe in cases of burglary or fire. Liberty doesn't really build safes to resist floods so I don't see why they would "warranty" flood damage.

Me either. This should be an insurance thing as long as you have contents coverage on your flood policy

So, if you have a Cannon safe with flood warranty & no flood insurance on your home, you would tell them that you don't want a new safe, right?

That is Cannon's Warranty policy and that is awesome. All I'm saying is I can understand why a safe company wouldn't warranty a safe for floods. It is pretty much like a car manufacturer saying they would warranty a car after a flood. That is their warranty and that is awesome.

That's a cool policy for cannon and of course I would take a new one. I would not expect a company who has no expressed warranty on flooding to replace my flooded safe. Liberty has no flood warranty. I would not expect them to replace or warrant my flood damaged safe. This thread is about Liberty safes.

Highjack Liberty has the same warranty if anyone has that brand.


This was from the Cannon safe thread. Is this true or not?

It is not true. Would have to pay for them to fix it, then they would not honor fire warranty after they made repairs. $800 to fix my $2400 safe, and if its in a fire, sorry.

Thanks. That's the same story I got. I may just throw some Sheetrock in it and use for Ammo storage.
