Anyone have any experience with this company's line of products, particularly the Agile series? I'm moving into a place where a conventional safe, at least one large enough for my needs, would be difficult to impossible to install. The idea of being able to build it in place is appealing, as is the loss of several hundreds of pounds of weight or more. I realize that there is no fire resistance, but am hearing that fire resistance is over-rated to a degree, pardon the pun.

Apologies in advance if I'm in the wrong forum.

Interesting, I can't help you with a review but I'll be watching.
The weight is usually an asset so I am sure this would need to be secured otherwise they could just carry the whole thing off.
However, something is better than nothing and there certainly scenarios where an easier installation would be an asset.
We have safe guys here on the forum so I'll sit back and watch.
Good Luck

They make a big deal out of how light their safes are.

Better make sure you bolt it down securely or it'll be easy to steal.

You are not getting much security for your money. If you have any guns at all, I'd pass on these.

The terminology is misleading. They sell cabinets, not safes. I bought a similar cabinet from Tractor Supply for 89 bucks. Theirs might be a bit more heavy duty, but probably not by much.

If you keep a quality axe in your home, and your safe is not at least 7/8 gauge steel or have some other layer of deterent, your guns and valuables are not really safe if the intruder(s) are motivated.

Even a 1000 pound safe will be supported by wooden framing with floor joists set 16” apart w/o extra support. And most safes of that size will fit thru new doorway code sizing.

I'd recommend looking at either Snap-Safe or Zanotti Armor -

https://zanottiarmor.com/

I have a Snap-Safe that I bought back in the late-2000's. Got it into the apartment by myself; built it in one of the closets by myself; and did it all over again when I moved.

The Snap-Safe works but when I get another modular safe it'll be a Zanotti or whatever SIGforum safe-guru a1abdj recommends just for a personal comparison.

I have an agilite gun cabinet. They are better than nothing but just barely. Im sure i could smash it with a large hammer. Mine is in a hidden space so first they would have to find it. I have so little confidence in it that I only put easily replaceable common firearms in it. I really don't consider it a safe its more of a stackable metal gun cabinet.

It’s not a safe, it’s a gun cabinet. As a gun cabinet, I like it. I bought one as a supplemental storage solution. You can fit lots of stuff in it for its size. Given it’s specifications, it appears well made and it can be bolted to the floor and wall. The unit was well packaged and easy to put together. If you move, you don’t need to bust a nut moving it or pay a mover etc. Would I keep a collection of expensive guns in it? Of course not. It’s fine for keeping unauthorized users out short term, holds a lot given its dimensions and is easy to place in a discreet spot. No regrets.
