About Mesa Safe
About Mesa Safe
Mesa Safe Company was founded in 1981 by George L. Vicente, who entered the security industry at sixteen working for a local locksmith before eventually starting his own locksmith company and then Mesa Safe. That early hands-on locksmith experience shaped the practical, security-focused approach the company has applied to safe manufacturing ever since.
Mesa Safe became the first company to introduce the depository safe to mass retailers, recognizing a gap in the market for accessible, affordably priced depository safes aimed at small business owners who previously had limited options. The company's catalog has since expanded to include fire safes, high security safes, gun safes, burglary safes, wall safes, hotel safes, and travel safes, all built to resist fire, water, and theft.
Operating from Orange, California, Mesa Safe remains founder-operated and continues to manufacture steel-constructed safes for both commercial and residential security needs. ChatMRO indexes the Mesa Safe catalog so buyers can search by safe type, fire rating, or locking mechanism to find matching products.
