A Guide To Buying The Best Gun Safe

• Modern gun safes have become more sophisticated
  than ever before, with many models coming with
  LED lights for easier contents viewing, drawers
  that seamlessly slide in and out for smaller guns
  such as pistols and finishes that are fire
  resistant. Thats all well and good, but it makes
  selecting the best gun safe for your needs,
  trickier than ever. Here is a short guide to
  choosing the best gun safe for your needs
• Choosing the correct size
• If you have long firearms that you need to
  securely store, then the interior of the safe
  should be at least 58 inches in height and the
  ideal width would be from 36 to 40 inches.

• This would leave ample space for a 52 inches
  rifle with a 30 inches barrel and enables you to
  store up to half a dozen, leaving space for a
  side rotary rack, too.
• You might want to consider the fact that while a
  larger gun safe is certainly harder for thieves
  to steal, if its as large as a ton in weight, it
  would require professional installation.
• How the gun safe has been constructed
• Gun safes with stitch welds are not as durable,
  and cheaper safes that often use plastic fillers
  instead of welding, are flammable, so try to
  avoid these budget options wherever possible.

• The thickness of the walls of the gun safe
  usually range from 18 inches as a minimum and go
  up to 8 gauge the bigger the safe. Stay away from
  gun safes that are constructed from anything
  other than high-quality steel as they can be very
  thin and easily penetrated by criminals with the
  right cutting tools.
• What locking system should you choose?
• Electronic locks and rotary dial locks are your
  best option, provided they are of a high quality,
  and while combination locks can be a little
  fiddly and take longer to open, they are built to
  be extremely durable. That said, there are some
  professional and commercial level keypad control
  locks that are equally as effective on the market
  nowadays.

• Talk to your local licensed locksmith for more
  detailed guidance about choosing the best gun
  safe with the most effective locking system.
• Door seals and hinges on a gun safe
• For a quality gun safe that is guaranteed to give
  you the very best protection for your firearms,
  it must have adequate sealing. This not only
  keeps moisture out of the safe but helps prevent
  rust from occurring and causing damage. A tight
  door seal also helps resist smoke and flames.
• When considering the hinges of your gun safe,
  external ones allow you to open the door wider
  than those with internal hinges.

6

• Choosing the best fire-resistant gun safe
• Most fire-resistant gun safes use ceramic wool
  blankets or sheet rock, and while ceramic wool
  has a better insulation rating, sheetrock can be
  just as effective if set between plates. A
  licensed locksmith can talk you through the fire
  regulations for gun safes in greater detail, but
  the ideal fire resistance rating is UL 350 F for
  an hour. Many gun safes nowadays are resistant to
  flooding and leaks, too.
• Your firearms are important to you, and its
  equally important that they are stored safely not
  only from thieves, but from others who may use
  them for nefarious purposes, so talk to your
  trusted locksmith today about the best safes for
  your guns.
