At A Glance
At A Glance
The Dominator IQ-2 Category H Pistol Safe (IQ-2D) is the compact pistol safe in the Dominator IQ Series, built on the same body as the HS-2 home safe. Inside are 4 pistol hangers and 2 adjustable shelves, behind a 12mm solid steel door and a 6mm steel body lined with 12mm fireboard, which also gives it a 30-minute recommended fire rating for paper. It meets the Level 2 storage requirements of Western Australia's 2024 firearms regulations. It holds 42 litres inside a safe 510 mm high, 380 mm wide and 380 mm deep, and weighs 79 kg.
Storage rules for Category H pistols differ between states and territories, so check yours before you buy - our firearm storage checklist links every state's official rules. Most states and territories also require ammunition to be kept in a separate locked container or compartment: an internal lockable ammunition box sized for this safe is available to order.
We stock the IQ-2 with the Tecnosicurezza Pulse 2 digital keypad. A key lock or a combination dial is a special order - call us for pricing. Delivery and installation are priced by weight and access; see delivery and installation below, or browse all our pistol safes.

Storage Rules and Ratings
Category H pistols - check your state's storage rules
The IQ-2 meets the Level 2 storage requirements of Western Australia's firearms regulations (2024). Storage rules for Category H pistols are set by each state and territory and differ in the details - steel thickness, how the safe is fixed to the building and where ammunition is kept - so check your own state's rules before you buy: our firearm storage checklist and the official state links. Most states and territories require ammunition to be kept in a separate locked container or compartment, and an internal lockable ammunition box sized for this safe is available to order - contact us.

Fire: 30-minute recommended rating for paper
12mm fireboard lines the walls and the door, giving a 30-minute recommended fire rating for paper. It is a recommended rating, not a certified one. USB drives, hard drives, photos and film are damaged at much lower temperatures than paper, so keep them in a data storage safe. See choosing the right fire rating.

Burglary: solid steel plate, no third-party certificate
Like the HS-2 it is built on, the IQ-2 is made from solid steel plate - a 12mm door and a 6mm body - with multi-point bolting, a relocker and anti-drill plates. It is built to exceed the construction requirements typically associated with EN 1143-1 Grade I and AS/NZS 3809:1998 Grade I applications, but it does not hold a third-party burglary certificate. If your insurer asks for a certified safe, the DS Series is independently tested and certified to UL-RSC - what UL ratings measure.

Lock Options
We stock the IQ-2 with the Tecnosicurezza Pulse 2 digital keypad, and it is the lock we recommend. In our experience a combination dial is slow to use and unforgiving if you overshoot a number, and a key can be lost - a keypad is quicker every day and there is no key to keep track of.
- A manager code (factory set to 123456 - change it during setup) plus individual user codes you can add or delete.
- Four wrong codes in a row start a 4-minute delay, and every attempt during the delay restarts it.
- Programmable time delay of up to 99 minutes, with an opening window of 1 to 19 minutes.
- A long beep while opening warns that the battery is low - replace it with a new alkaline battery.
Full user steps are in the Pulse 2 user instructions (PDF).
Combination dial or key lock? Special order - call us for pricing.
We stock this safe with the digital lock. A 3-wheel combination dial or a Ross 700 key lock is built to order by the manufacturer in Perth, and we usually add it to our next stock order to keep the freight down, so allow extra lead time. Ask us about a left-hand hinged door too. Contact us for a price and an expected date.

Batteries - changed from outside the safe
A flat battery won't lock you out of your IQ-2. The Pulse 2 battery is changed from outside the safe - a long beep while opening is your cue - so fit a new alkaline battery and open the safe as normal. If the keypad ever misbehaves, try a fresh battery first.

IQ-2 Technical Specifications
*Cash and valuables ratings are insurer guidelines only - consult your insurer for application and approval.
Dimensions and Door Clearance
How the door figures are measured: door open width (door opened to 180 degrees) and door open depth (door opened to 90 degrees) on the left; the door clearance width and angle for complete access to the inside on the right. For the IQ-2: door open width 675 mm and door open depth 715 mm.
Measure the space where the safe will sit, the doorways and corridors on the way in, and the room in front for the door to swing: opened to 90 degrees the door reaches 715 mm from the back of the safe, and opened right back to 180 degrees it needs 675 mm from the side of the safe to the far edge of the door. Leave a little extra depth for the handle, lock and hinges, which the 380 mm depth does not include - ask us if the fit is tight. A4 sheets fit standing upright and lying flat.
Delivery and Installation
This safe weighs 79 kg. Delivery, unloading, carrying it into position and bolting it down are priced by weight and site access - stairs, steps, gutters and tight corners all matter. See our Delivery and Installation page for current rates, or pick it up free from our Burleigh Heads showroom. We strongly recommend having the safe bolted down: an anchored safe is far harder to remove, and insurers often expect it.
The IQ-2 has 4 internal recessed bolt-down holes in the base plus 2 rear or side fixing holes, and comes with fixing bolts suitable for the safe; most states require a pistol safe to be fixed to the building (some exempt very heavy safes), and some floors and walls need different fixings. You can install it yourself or have our technicians do it - read about installing a safe. If it has to go upstairs or through tight access, contact us first for a quote. Moving later? We also move safes.
Dominator IQ Series - Model Range
This product is the bold row. Every IQ model has the same construction, the same 30-minute recommended fire rating for paper, the same choice of lock and the same black finish, so choose by how many pistols you keep and the space you have. Each IQ model shares its body with an HS home safe - the HS-2 is this safe without the pistol hangers. Browse all our pistol safes.

Everything below is here to help you choose, install and live with your IQ-2. For the bigger picture, read the firearm safe storage rules by state, fire ratings for paper and data and safe cash ratings explained.
Firearm Storage Rules
Does the IQ-2 meet the storage rules in my state?
It meets the Level 2 storage requirements of Western Australia's 2024 firearms regulations. Each state and territory sets its own rules for Category H pistols - steel thickness, how the safe is fixed to the building and where ammunition goes - so check yours before you buy: our storage checklist and the official state links. If in doubt, ask your state's firearms registry.

Does a pistol safe have to be bolted down?
In most states, yes - it has to be fixed to the building so it cannot be carried away, though some exempt very heavy safes. The IQ-2 has 4 internal recessed bolt-down holes in the base and 2 rear or side fixing holes, and comes with fixing bolts suitable for the safe; some floors and walls need different fixings. You can install it yourself or have our technicians do it - installing a safe.

Fire Protection
What does a 30-minute recommended fire rating for paper mean?
The IQ-2 is lined with 12mm fireboard in the walls and the door, and is recommended to protect paper for about 30 minutes in a fire. It is a recommended rating, not a certified one. Fire minutes from different sources are not always comparable - why minutes are not apples-to-apples.

Will it protect USB drives, hard drives, photos or film?
No. Digital media, photos and film are damaged at temperatures well below what paper can take. Use a data storage safe for them, and keep paper in the IQ-2.

Burglary, Insurance and Cash Ratings
Is the IQ-2 burglary certified?
No. Like the HS-2 it is built on, the IQ-2 is made from solid steel plate - a 12mm door and a 6mm body - with multi-point bolting, a relocker and anti-drill plates. It is built to exceed the construction requirements typically associated with EN 1143-1 Grade I and AS/NZS 3809:1998 Grade I applications, but it does not hold a third-party burglary certificate. If your insurer asks for a certified safe, the DS Series is independently tested and certified to UL-RSC - what UL ratings measure.

How much cash can I keep in the IQ-2?
The insurable cash rating is $40,000, and the valuables rating is up to $400,000. Insurers treat these as starting guides and decide for themselves - always check your policy. What cash ratings mean.

How can I raise the amount my insurer will accept?
Bolting the safe down, a monitored alarm and where the safe sits all count with insurers - the supportive security stack and how to lift insurable limits.

What does the relocker do?
If the lock is punched or driven in, the relocker mounted on the lock case trips and holds the bolt work locked, so the safe stays shut even with the lock damaged. A safe that has relocked needs a qualified technician to open it - what relockers are and our safe opening service.

The Pulse 2 Digital Lock
How do I set my own code?
With the door open, change the manager code from the factory 123456 to a code of your own, then test it several times before you close the door. The manager code is also used to add and delete user codes. Avoid birthdays and other easy-to-find numbers. Step-by-step instructions are in the Pulse 2 user instructions (PDF).

The manager code is also used to add and delete user codes. Avoid birthdays and other easy-to-find numbers. Step-by-step instructions are in the Pulse 2 user instructions (PDF).
What happens if someone keeps entering the wrong code?
After four wrong codes the lock starts a 4-minute delay, and every attempt during the delay starts it again.
After four wrong codes the lock starts a 4-minute delay, and every attempt during the delay starts it again.
Can I set a time delay?
Yes. A delay of 0 to 99 minutes can be programmed, followed by an opening window of 1 to 19 minutes in which the code opens the safe. The delay can only be reduced during an opening window - after the delay has already run.

What if the battery goes flat - will I be locked out?
No. The Pulse 2 battery is changed from outside the safe, so a flat battery never locks you out - fit a new alkaline battery and open the safe as normal. A long beep while you open the safe warns you well before it gets that far.

How will I know the battery is low?
A long beep while you open the safe means the battery is low - replace it straight away with a new alkaline battery. If the keypad misbehaves, always try a fresh battery first.

Why do you stock the digital lock rather than a key or a dial?
Convenience and reliability. A keypad opens in seconds and there is no key to lose. A combination dial looks the part, but it is slow to use and unforgiving - a dial that overshoots the number by a fraction will not open. Both the key lock and the dial are available as a special order; contact us for pricing.

Size, Delivery and Installation
How much room does the door need?
Opened to 180 degrees the door needs 675 mm from the side of the safe to its far edge; opened to 90 degrees it reaches 715 mm from the back of the safe. The external depth of 380 mm excludes the handle, lock and hinges, so leave a little extra.

Will A4 documents and files fit?
Yes - A4 sheets fit standing upright and lying flat: the inside is 470 x 325 x 275 mm (H x W x D). The shelves are adjustable, so set them to suit what you store.

How heavy is the IQ-2, and can you deliver it?
It weighs 79 kg. We deliver and install on the Gold Coast and in the Tweed Shire, and deliver to businesses and to homes in major east coast cities; the price depends on the weight, where it is going and access such as stairs. See Delivery and Installation and contact us for stairs or tight access.

Can the safe be moved later?
Yes. A bolted-down safe has to be unbolted and moved with the right equipment - our safe moving service handles relocations.

Choosing the Right IQ Model
Which IQ model should I choose?
All four IQ models share the same construction, fire rating guide for paper, lock and finish, so choose by how many pistols you keep and the space you have: the IQ-2 is compact with 4 hangers, the IQ-3 is wider with 5, the IQ-4 is taller and only 380 mm deep with 5, and the IQ-5 is the largest with 8. Compare them in the model range.

What is the difference between the IQ-2 and the HS-2?
They share the same body. The IQ-2 is fitted for Category H pistols with 4 pistol hangers; the HS-2 is the home and office version without hangers, which also comes with a battery-operated interior light and qualifies for Power for Life free batteries.

Dominator Safes Warranty
Dominator safes sold by Terry's Tradies Pty Ltd (Terry's Gold Coast Safes) are covered by the Dominator Safes warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty runs from the date of purchase shown on your invoice, and how long it lasts depends on whether you register your safe. Registration is free and must be done within 14 days of purchase - it more than doubles the cover on most safes.
Register within 14 days - it's free
Register online at dominatorsafes.com.au/warranty-registration. You will need the safe's model and serial number (on the sticker at the upper rear corner of the side of the safe), your invoice or receipt number and the date of purchase. HS and DS Series owners can also sign up for Power for Life in the same form.

Warranty Periods
25-Year After-Fire Guarantee (Extra Care, HS and DS Series)
If your HS or DS Series safe is damaged by fire within 25 years of purchase while you are still the original owner, Dominator Safes will supply a free replacement safe. Send them:
- your name, mailing address, email address and phone number;
- the tax invoice or receipt for the safe;
- a description of the fire, the safe's model and serial number, and a photo of the burned safe; and
- a copy of the fire department, insurance or police report.
Freight on the replacement safe is paid by you. If the same model is no longer made, a similar safe from the current range is supplied. The guarantee covers the safe, not its contents.
How to Make a Claim
- Standard Care (unregistered safes): contact us. As your authorised Dominator dealer we lodge the claim and arrange the next steps. Contact us with your proof of purchase and a description of the fault.
- Extended Care and Extra Care (registered safes): contact Dominator Safes customer support on 1300 366 462 or warranty@dominatorsafes.com.au with your purchase details and a description of the fault. They troubleshoot first and, if the safe needs assessment, arrange and pay for the return freight. We are always happy to help you through it.
- Repairs: where a repair is authorised, the safe is collected by an authorised courier or you are given another approved way to get it to the repair centre; freight to and from the repair centre is covered for an authorised repair. Keep the original packaging if you can - damage in transit from inadequate packaging is your responsibility.
Check your safe on delivery - report damage within 3 days
Inspect the safe as soon as it arrives. Transit damage must be reported within 3 days of receipt, or physical damage may not be covered. If the safe arrives faulty or damaged, take photos - photographic evidence is required before it is repaired or replaced.

What the Warranty Does Not Cover
- Consumable parts such as batteries and protective coatings that wear over time, unless they fail because of a defect
- Cosmetic damage to boxes, packaging or exterior surfaces, including in transit
- Damage from accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or another external cause (fire damage is covered only by the after-fire guarantee above)
- Damage from use with another product, or from operating the safe outside its published guidelines
- Service, upgrades or modifications by anyone who is not authorised by Dominator Safes
- Normal wear and tear and normal ageing, including the cost of replacing worn consumable parts
- Safes with a removed or defaced serial number, stolen safes, and claims without proof of purchase
The contents of your safe are not covered
The warranty does not cover loss of, or damage to, anything stored in the safe - cash, valuables, documents or data on any media - however it happens, nor loss of use or any indirect loss. Liability is limited to the purchase price of the safe or a like replacement. Insure your valuables separately, and check your insurer's requirements against the safe's cash rating.
