Tips For Choosing A Gun Safe
2

• Many U.S citizens lawfully possess at least one
  gun, so the issue of where to safely store them
  is an important one. Guns must be locked away
  where they can only be accessed by those who have
  the right to do so and should never be within
  easy reach of children or vulnerable adults.
• The safest place to store a gun is in a safe that
  has been designed for the purpose, and while
  there are many available on the market today, you
  might need a little help when choosing one
• Bolt that safe down!
• If a determined thief can roll your safe out of
  your property with a hand truck, then you havent
  properly secured it.

• Choose a safe that can be securely bolted to the
  floor.
• Choosing the best lock
• Should you use a combination lock, electronic
  lock or biometric one? Lets look in a little
  more detail
• Combination locks require minimal maintenance and
  the combination sequence is trickier to observe.
  However, they can be slower to operate and may be
  easier for thieves to break.
• Electronic locks are simple and cost effective,
  plus they have many more integrated features.

• These locks also dont require the help of a
  locksmith to change the combination, but if you
  do forget the combination and need a locksmith to
  open it, they may struggle to do so. Dont forget
  that electronic locks also depend upon battery
  power and will not function without it.
• Biometric locks are easy to use and allow for the
  storage of several fingerprints, but are not
  always reliable, not to mention the fact that
  they are currently pretty costly.
• All guns blazing, no thank you!
• Protecting your guns from fire damage is an
  important consideration, and unless you have
  special insurance, the loss could be huge.

5

• Pay extra attention to the lining of the safe
  that you choose how thick it is, how it is
  insulated, does it have gaps in the lining and
  how is that lining attached to the walls of the
  safe?
• A damp rifle is no good to anyone
• Moisture, believe it or not, can easily become
  trapped inside a gun safe, and safes that are
  fireproofed make ventilating the vault extremely
  difficult. To help combat this, you can purchase
  what are known as intercept products, copper
  colored sheets that when placed inside the safe,
  become the target of any corrosion, instead of
  your guns. You may also want to consider using a
  heating bar that help to reduce the risk of
  condensation building up by maintaining a
  constant temperature inside the vault.

• While you may think that choosing a safe to store
  your firearms in as simple as going to the store
  and buying one, think again. There are multiple
  considerations to be aware of, and when it comes
  to something as important as guns, safety and
  preservation are paramount. Consult with a
  professional locksmith and supplier of safes to
  discuss the best way to safely store your guns.
