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. That’s 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 it’s 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.
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 it’s 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.
