There are a variety of gun security cabinets that can hold handguns, shotguns, rifles, and a lockbox to store other valuables. Whether you need a small gun cabinet to protect pistols or a full-size gun cabinet for rifles and extra stroage space, we have the perfect gun storage for your needs.
Where Should You Keep a Gun Cabinet?
Most of our rifle vaults are full-sized floor safes with room to store multiple hunting rifles; some can fit several dozen rifles at once. These are massive, heavy items secured mainly by their weight, so no thief is likely to drag away these safes. Even if someone could make off with it, good luck getting inside; all that weight isn't for nothing, and a good rifle safe is virtually impregnable unless you've got the key or combination. You will need to have some free floor space in your home to store a rifle safe; however, if you have the room, these massive safes can be a one-stop solution for secure storage needs. There are many good choices for full-sized rifle safes with generous space and lots of storage and access options.
What Is the Difference Between a Gun Safe and a Gun Cabinet?
The main differences between a gun safe and a gun cabinet are the locking mechanism and steel thickness. There are so many different variations of gun storage with varying capacities that you can find what you need. While gun safes generally have thicker steel and a true lock, gun cabinets offer quick access and tend to be unlocked by a key, and have thinner steel. We also sell biometric gun cabinets that use advanced fingerprint technology to provide access.
Do a Gun Cabinet and Gun Safe Need a Dehumidifier?
The answer is an emphatic yes. Take a moment and think about the contents of a typical gun safe. Guns and jewelry do not fair so well in humid conditions because of the moisture corroding anything metallic. Keeping moisture out of the gun safe also ensures the longevity of the safe itself, given its metallic nature.
Before you purchase a gun cabinet, there are several factors: where is the best place in your home for your gun security cabinet to stay. Do you live near a coastline or tropical region? If the answer is yes, then the chances are that you will require a dehumidifier to protect the contents of your storage cabinet. Another factor is that lower levels in your home will be more humid. If your gun cabinet is at basement level, then a dehumidifier is a must-have. If you rarely need to access your gun cabinet, then you must get a dehumidifier for it. This is because when there is limited airflow into the safe, humidity levels rise. If you open your gun safe or cabinet more frequently, you may not need a dehumidifier because it is getting fresh air. However, again you should take the area in which you live into consideration as well.
The size of the dehumidifier you need for your gun storage will depend on the type of dehumidifier you pick. There are two types of gun cabinets dehumidifiers: electric dehumidifiers and desiccant dehumidifiers. Electric dehumidifiers usually last longer and are more effective than desiccant dehumidifiers.
Desiccant dehumidifiers, are containers filled with silica gel. The gel inside the dehumidifier can absorb air moisture for three to four weeks before you need to recharge them. Most desiccant dehumidifiers can be recharged by putting them in an oven. When using desiccant dehumidifiers, you need to match capacity with the size of the gun safe. The bigger the gun safes require more capacity of the dehumidifier.
