Best In-Wall Gun Safes for Your Home
Securing firearms in your home is vital to keep your family safe and prevent someone from breaking in and stealing them. Stolen firearms that are not locked up and later used in a crime could mean you could be held liable depending on the laws in your state. Only some people need a large gun safe, so what options exist for those who want to save space or have limited space? An In-Wall Gun Safe is the perfect solution since it uses space inside your wall. It's like what you find in a movie, but this is real life. These safes can be installed between your studs in the wall, saving space and concealed so that nobody knows your firearm(s) and valuables are in the wall cavity. Our theory is if the burglar can't find the safe, they can't break into it.

All the top 5 choices above are great options for an in wall gun safe. Each has unique benefits, so you must decide which works best for your situation. Here are some things to consider before purchasing.
1. Where is the best place to install an in-wall gun safe?
All of the safes above are designed to be installed in the wall, but which wall? Think about a place that is easily accessible such as a master bedroom closet that is convenient for you to access. Also, consider hiding the safe with a mirror or picture/painting in front of it so that it blends in.
2. Are wall gun safes fireproof?
A downside to these safes is that they are not fireproof. This is because they are shallow since they need to be installed in your wall, which is usually only 4-6" deep. To be fireproof, the fire material has to be pretty thick, and it's just not possible with a safe that is only 4-6" deep. Consider another fireproof safe for your important paperwork, and use an in wall gun safe for your rifles and handguns.
