Choosing the Best Gun Safe: Features You Need to Consider
Size and Capacity: Dye the Safe Guy stresses the importance of choosing a safe that accommodates your current collection and has room for additional firearms, ensuring your safe can grow with your collection. Explore your options at Safe & Vault Store.
Construction and Security: Your gun safe's integrity is paramount. Take the AMSEC TF5517E5, for example. It's built with a solid 14-gauge steel body and a 3/16" plate steel door for added protection. When it comes to locks, you've got many choices including mechanical locks, UL-listed electronic locks or even biometric fingerprint options.
Fire Resistance: A fire-resistant safe protects your firearms and valuables from heat damage during a fire. Look for safes with a fire rating of at least 30 minutes if you're in the city and 2 hours if you're in the country.
Accessibility and Placement: A strategically placed safe can give you access when needed while remaining hidden from unwanted attention.
When deciding between a gun safe or a gun cabinet, your security needs should be the determining factor. A gun cabinet provides basic organization and display features but may lack the reinforced security of a gun safe. For ultimate security and fire protection, a gun safe is recommended.
The market offers a variety of gun safes to match any need, from the economical Browning BF23E to the comprehensive security offered by the AMSEC BFX7250 Gun Safe. With guidance from our experts, you can make an informed decision that prioritizes the safety of your family and the security of your firearms.
Remember, a gun safe is more than a storage option—it's an investment in safety and peace of mind.
Secure your legacy and protect your family with the right gun safe.

Our mid-range gun safes offer a blend of security and functionality.
While no gun safe is completely fireproof, they are designed to withstand high heat and protect your firearms and valuables for extended periods. Choosing a gun safe with a strong fire rating ensures the best defense against potential fires.
When picking a gun safe, consider size carefully. Plan for the future. A good rule is to choose a safe 1.5 times bigger than your current needs. This is important for rifle safes or safes for firearms with scopes and attachments.
Protect your guns from humidity in your gun safe. Use dehumidifiers such as electronic dehumidifer rods or Silica Gel Boxes. The Zerust Capsule, which prevents corrosion, is also effective.
Secure your safe to the floor to prevent theft and increase safety. Avoid drilling into the back of fire-rated safes as it can void the fire rating. If you can't secure to a floor, safes without fireproof ratings can be mounted to walls.
Place your gun safe where you can easily reach it, but others can't. Place gun safes in basements, bedrooms, or closets. These spots are ideal for long guns and big collections. For safes over 1,000 pounds, use experts to install them to the floor.
Exceptional Quality Across the Range
For firearm security, choose only the best. Choose from well-known brands like American Security, Browning, Ironman, and Sun Welding. They're made in the USA, built to last and have options for every gun owner.
