Short answer: Liberty Centurion 24 wins this one, 8.7/10 against 8.1/10, mainly on price and steel thickness. SecureIt Agile 52 answers with lock and ways in and warranty and returns.
What really separates them?
$130 apart, and they answer different questions. The Centurion is a real safe: 375 lb, a 40 minutes fire claim, a UL-listed lock, a lifetime warranty that covers fire and break-ins. The Agile 52 is a 115 lb cabinet with a fingerprint lock that two people carry upstairs and take along when they move, with no fire rating and no stated steel gauge. If the safe can live on a ground floor, the Liberty protects far more for a little more money. If it can't, the comparison is over and the SecureIt is your answer.

✓ marks the better figure. "Not stated" means the seller's page doesn't publish it. Fire ratings and capacities are the brands' own claims. Prices checked November 13, 2026 at the seller named in the table.
Which one is built stronger?
Liberty Centurion 24: 14-gauge steel body; folded steel frame ("Dual Fusion"), per Liberty; 7 locking bars, 3/16 in thick; 375 lb. SecureIt Agile 52: no steel thickness stated; 115 lb.
Gauge runs backwards: a lower number is thicker steel. The Centurion 24 is 260 lb heavier, which helps once it is bolted down and hurts on delivery day. Approvals stated on the pages: Liberty Centurion 24, CA DOJ; SecureIt Agile 52, no UL or California DOJ line on the page. A listing we can't read on the seller's page is one we can't count. Bolt down whichever you choose.
Which one protects better against fire?
Liberty Centurion 24: "40 Minutes Fire Protection at 1200°F", per Liberty (liberty's product text says 40 minutes for the Centurion 24; the comparison table lower on the same page still prints 30 minutes). SecureIt Agile 52: no fire rating claimed on the page.
These are the brands' own figures, quoted as written; no gun safe is fireproof. Only the Centurion 24 claims a rating. Our gun safe fire rating guide explains how to read these numbers.
Which lock is easier to live with?
Liberty Centurion 24: S&G Spartan electronic lock, UL-listed per Liberty. SecureIt Agile 52: six-button keypad with a fingerprint scanner (30 fingerprints, 3 codes) and 2 override keys. Power: batteries, or USB-C external power.
More ways in means fewer bad surprises: a key or a mechanical lock still works when a battery is flat. Whichever lock you choose, the code and the keys stay with the adults; the guide to California DOJ approved gun safes links the official child-safety advice, and storage laws differ by state.
What do they cost, and what cover do you get?
On November 13, 2026: Liberty Centurion 24 $829 at Liberty Safe, SecureIt Agile 52 $699 at SecureIt ($799 regular). That is $130 between them.
Warranty: Liberty Centurion 24, transferable lifetime warranty that covers fire damage and attempted break-ins; the lock is covered for 5 years (10 years for $99 or life for $159), per Liberty's warranty page; SecureIt Agile 52, lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship; electronic locks are covered for 2 years, per SecureIt's warranty page. Returns: Liberty Centurion 24, 30 days from purchase, per Liberty's refund policy; SecureIt Agile 52, 90-day "Buy-It-Back" guarantee; you pay the return shipping, per SecureIt. Delivery: Liberty Centurion 24, priced at checkout: curbside, in-home or in-home with bolt-down, per Liberty; SecureIt Agile 52, free shipping, per the product page.
