Winchester markets it as the VaultLite 18 Safe, but it is not fire-rated and does not carry a UL burglary rating, so we list it as a gun cabinet to set correct expectations: this is a lockable 14-gauge steel cabinet designed to keep long guns away from kids, visitors, and casual intruders, not a replacement for a fire-rated gun safe when documents, cash, or long guns need fire protection in a residential fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VaultLite 18 is the right pick for apartment or condo residents whose building insurance and sprinkler system cover the fire-protection story, for buyers putting together a secondary long-gun storage spot alongside an existing main safe, for new gun owners stepping up from a trigger lock or a basic rifle rack, and for budget-conscious buyers who want more security than a locked closet but can't justify the price of a Bandit or Ranger series safe. At 55 inches tall, 21 inches wide, and 18 inches deep, the VaultLite 18 fits inside a standard bedroom closet or against a wall in a home office, basement corner, or spare room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VaultLite 18 ships in three colors: Slate (a durable powder-coated satin grey), White, and Black. All three use Winchester's single lever handle in a finish-matched color. Pick the color that fits your room; construction and features are identical across all three variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VaultLite 18 uses an electronic lock with a mechanical backup key. For most casual-security use cases, this is adequate; for buyers who want a commercial-grade lock, step up to the Winchester Bandit series, which uses the UL Listed SecuRam electronic lock. Winchester states the VaultLite 18 exceeds California DOJ requirements, which is the regulatory floor for firearm storage in California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn construction, the VaultLite 18 is built from 14-gauge solid steel (the same body gauge used on Winchester's Bandit series, though without the fire-rated fireboard layer inside). Solid steel external strap hinges replace internal hinges, giving a wider door swing and avoiding the holes internal hinges require. Winchester publishes dead-locking bolts on the hinge side so the door is secured on both the lock side and the hinge side against pry attacks. Pre-drilled anchor holes let you bolt the cabinet to the floor; at 190 pounds, the VaultLite 18 is walkable by two people if it isn't anchored, so use the anchor holes and bolt it down during setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the VaultLite 18 includes an adjustable shelving system with easy-access U-shaped barrel racks and a door panel organizer. The barrel racks hold the long guns upright and separate them along a curved track so the barrels fan out evenly across the back wall rather than piling up in a corner, and the adjustable shelves let you carve out a top-shelf zone for handguns, ammunition, and smaller items. The door panel organizer on the inside of the door adds pistol holders and small-parts pockets for frequently accessed items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinchester backs the VaultLite 18 with a Lifetime Limited Warranty plus a Lifetime Free Replacement Guarantee in the event of a burglary attack. Unlike Winchester's fire-rated safes, the VaultLite 18 has no fire replacement guarantee because it isn't fire-rated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need fire protection for documents, cash, or long guns, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.safeandvaultstore.com\/products\/winchester-bandit-14-gun-safe-slate-with-electronic-lock\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWinchester Bandit 14\u003c\/a\u003e is a full gun safe with a 45-minute fire rating at 1400°F, a Palusol heat-expanding door seal, a UL Listed SecuRam electronic lock, and a lifetime free replacement guarantee for both fire and burglary damage, in a similar closet-friendly footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have questions about the VaultLite 18, whether a non-fire-rated cabinet fits your use case, or how it compares to the Bandit series gun safes, please call us at 800-207-2259.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14-gauge solid steel body formed with robotic welds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid steel external strap hinges with dead-locking bolts on the hinge side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-drilled anchor holes for floor mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-fire-rated (no fireboard layer, no Palusol door seal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic lock with mechanical backup key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceeds California DOJ requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable shelving system with easy-access U-shaped barrel racks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoor panel organizer for pistols and small items\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 18 long gun capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree color options: Slate, White, Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable powder-coated finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle lever handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime Free Replacement Guarantee in the event of a burglary attack\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior Dimensions: 55.00\" H x 21.00\" W x 18.00\" D (Add 1.5\" for handle and hinges)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Gun Capacity: up to 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 190 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Body: 14 gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFire Rating: None (non-fire-rated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Slate, White, or Black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Single lever handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHinges: Solid steel external strap hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLock:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic lock with mechanical backup key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Winchester","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":41727297224762,"sku":"SECWINVL-18-BL","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Slate","offer_id":41727297257530,"sku":"SECWINVL-18-SL","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":41727297290298,"sku":"SECWINVL-18-WH","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1147\/6518\/files\/VL18_slate-WINSAFES-AUG25-62-scaled.jpg?v=1791323595","url":"https:\/\/www.safeandvaultstore.com\/products\/winchester-vaultlite-18-gun-cabinet-with-electronic-lock","provider":"Safe and Vault Store.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
