Gun Safes

Safes should always be bolted to the floor in either wood or concrete so that, in the event of a burglary, the thieves can’t take your safe with them or tip it over. There are several variables to consider when purchasing a gun safe:

Size

The size of your safe will depend on what you need to secure in it. For instance, if you own a small gun, a safe that can be easily installed in a hidden place in your home, like a handgun & pistol safe, will suffice. Rifles will need to be stored in something bigger.

If you’re a gun collector, consider how many firearms you may accumulate over the next several years, and go with a gun safe that will store them all. It’s more cost effective to purchase a large gun safe now, than several smaller safes in the future to accommodate your growing collection.

Also, consider the other valuable items you want to store in your gun safe, and make sure you’ll have room for them after you’ve stored your firearms.

Burglar protection

Unfortunately, the gun you purchased to protect your home and family can attract burglars. Guns are targeted for theft because they are usually easy to sell. Protect your firearms and valuables from burglaries with a gun safe that has been tested and rated for burglary. This rating also keeps children from accessing your firearms.

Fire protection

No safe is fireproof. Some safes have been UL rated for fire resistance, and those safes offer you the best protection from the risk of fire. Make you protect your firearms and valuables from both burglaries and fire by purchasing a UL rated gun safe that has both a temperature rating and a rating for the length of time the safe can resist fire.
