Steelhead Recon 38 Modular Gun Safe

The Steelhead Recon 38 Modular Gun Safe offers an ideal solution for those seeking a large-sized safe conveniently assembled in unconventional locations, including apartments, townhomes, or even temporary residences where a traditional gun safe might be impractical. With dimensions measuring 60" in height, 37.50" in width, and 24" in depth, this safe fits seamlessly into your desired space and provides the essential protection you require. 

The Steelhead Recon 38 Modular Gun Safe features a flat textured black finish with a distinctive logo, a sleek handle, and customized black hardware. This color scheme maintains a discreet appearance on the exterior and enhances the brightness within, thanks to the signature Arctic White Interior. The specially designed bolt-on roof rack is an ideal storage solution for your surplus gear, range bag, or any items you would rather not occupy space inside the safe. Accessory hooks that will seamlessly integrate with the rack slots are coming soon.

One of the standout features of the Recon 38 is its modular design. Each panel of this safe is easily movable and weighs less than 165 pounds, allowing hassle-free assembly and customization to meet your needs. This modular flexibility makes it an ideal choice for anyone seeking adaptable storage solutions, whether living in a small apartment, a townhome, or a temporary residence. Plus, the assembly bolts are only accessible from the inside, enhancing security and peace of mind. 

Built with uncompromising security, the Steelhead Recon 38 features a double-wall construction with robust 12-gauge welded, powder-coated exterior panels and 20-gauge interior panels. The seven-gauge plate door (3/16") offers top-tier protection. The safe also features a patented panel construction that includes dual-stage fire protection with 2300-degree insulation and radiation-reflecting panels, eliminating concerns about trapped moisture and corrosion. The Palusol heat-activated expanding door seal and an integrated cold smoke seal further enhance its fire-resistant capabilities. 

Regarding security, the Recon 38 offers two reliable lock options: an EMP-resistant, UL Type 1, S&G Titan direct drive electronic keypad for swift and dependable access or the UL Group II Big Red mechanical dial lock for battery-less dependability. It incorporates advanced security features such as a slip clutch in the handle, a Cam-Over-Center direct drive lock mechanism, and a drill-resistant hard plate with 82 captured, hardened ball bearings to thwart any attack attempts.

The Steelhead Recon 38 is secure and adaptable, and its interior is also carefully designed. A fully modular interior racking system provides limitless possibilities for shelving and gun rack configurations. Standard interior options, including single horseshoe gun holders, double horseshoe gun holders, and multi-row maximum gun racking, offer capacities ranging from 10 to 35 guns.

Choose the Steelhead Recon 38 Modular Gun Safe for its compact yet versatile design, exceptional security features, and customizable interior configurations. Ideal for large-sized gun collections, this safe is your reliable partner in safeguarding your firearms and valuables, no matter where you call home. It combines aesthetics with functionality in various interior color options, making it the perfect addition to any space. Upgrade your security with the Recon 38 and experience peace of mind like never before.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is shipping really free?

Yes. Free delivery is included on every safe we sell, anywhere in the lower 48 states. The specific delivery method depends on the safe's weight: small package delivery for under 150 lbs, curbside, or garage delivery for heavier safes. See full shipping details →

How long will this take to arrive?

Shipping timelines vary by product. Check the availability status at the top of this page for the estimated ship date. Once shipped, transit time typically runs 5–10 business days, depending on your location. You'll receive tracking when the safe leaves the warehouse. Safes under 150 lbs ship via UPS or FedEx Ground, no appointment needed. Safes weighing 150 lbs or more ship via freight (LTL); the freight carrier will contact you directly to schedule a delivery appointment once the safe reaches your local terminal.

Can you deliver it inside my house and bolt it down?

We don't provide inside delivery directly, but we work with third-party installers across the country who do. Here's how it works: call us at 800-207-2259 for a recommendation in your area, and we'll provide the names and phone numbers of installers we've worked with. You contact the installer directly to arrange pricing for delivery and installation. Once you've agreed on a price, place your order with us using the installer's address as the shipping destination. The installer receives the safe, inspects it, and schedules your final delivery appointment. Some installers prefer to pick the safe up directly from the freight terminal. See inside delivery details →

Will this fit through my doorway?

Check the product's exterior dimensions (listed above) against your narrowest passage, interior doorways, stair landings, and tight turns. Most people remove the safe from the pallet before moving it indoors, so the safe's actual dimensions are what matter for doorways. Standard interior doorways (30–32" clear) accommodate most residential safes, but measure before ordering. Call us if you're uncertain. See where to locate your safe →


Can I change the combination myself?

Electronic locks: yes; it takes about 30 seconds. Instructions are included with your safe. Mechanical dial locks: no, changing a dial combination requires a licensed safe technician. Important: attempting to change a dial combination yourself (or having an unlicensed locksmith do it) voids the lock warranty. A licensed safe tech maintains the warranty. See lock operating instructions →


What if it arrives damaged?

Call us immediately — while you have 24 hours to report damage, calling right away gets the claim filed faster. Take photos of the damage and packaging before moving anything. For minor cosmetic damage, we typically send touch-up paint plus a partial refund. For significant damage, we send replacement parts or arrange a full replacement. Order Protection (optional at checkout) speeds refund payouts to 48–72 hours vs. 30–60 days through standard freight claims; replacement safes ship on the manufacturer's normal timeline regardless. See receiving your safe →

What's your return policy?

We offer a 30-day return policy on unused, in-original-condition products. The return freight for a heavy safe is substantial, so we strongly encourage you to call us before ordering if you're unsure about fit or configuration. See full return policy →

Can I place my order by phone?

Yes. Call us Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm Pacific at 800-207-2259. You have two options: we can take the full order by phone (we pause the call recording before you read your card number, so payment info is never stored), or we can build your order and email you a payable invoice link so you can enter your own payment details securely.
