subject: Gun Vault Or Gun Safes: Secure Storage Container [print this page] Gun safes are defined as a "secure and protective storage container for one or more firearms, and, or ammunition for those guns." Most gun safes are primarily designed for preventing access from unauthorized or unqualified individuals, burglary protection, and to protect the contents from damage during a flood, fire, or natural disaster. In most states access prevention is required by law through the use of a gun lock, metal gun cabinet, or gun safe. Today Gun safes are considered as the most useful Duty Gear, and have largely replaced the use of the finely wood stained, glass gun cabinets that were primarily used for displaying gun collections.
Studies have shown that as gun safes become more affordable, they're becoming as easily penetrable. Here are five essential features that youll want to consider prior to purchasing a gun safe. Those are combination locks, metal thickness, good burglar/fire ratings, sturdy anchors and a specialized interior.
Combination Locks
Some simple gun safes can be priced between as little as $200-300 to more than $5000. The varying prices are dependent upon several different features of the tactical equipment including the combination lock, often the priciest locks can be specialized to include a larger number of locks, digital and manual combination, key-locking handles or even biometric locks. Although while a more sophisticated locking mechanism may take burglars to crack the combination too or even deter altogether, it will also slow you down especially in a hurry. Some of the most powerful safes will utilize an interlocking dead bolt system that will bolt itself in place when its under attack and may also contain hard steel plates that will shatter drill bits during a drill invasion. The Gunvault Multi Bio GVB 2000 uses biometrics, specifically fingerprint recognition, to access the safe content. This Police Equipment has a high-performance algorithm that is used to achieve speedy identification of enrolled fingerprints and also a very low False Reject Rate (FRR) for a given False Accept Rate. The GunVault system includes a 16-gauge steel housing, foam lining on the inside and a Tamper-proof, spring-loaded door.
Metal Thickness
Typically, it's always a good idea to find out what the metal thickness of a gun safe before you decide to purchase. In most cases the thicker the metal, greater the cost of gun safe. The typical 18-16 gauge metal safe is very thin and can be penetrated very easily, it is also much more affordable and has a half-inch steel door and a quarter-inch steel body. However, if you are seeking quality metal you'll need to inspect the UL label that will either be on the top or on the side of door inside the safe. The UL label represents Underwriters Laboratories, an independent product safety certification organization. The UL label verifies the safes against a burglar attacks as well as fire endurance, fire and impact and explosion hazards. As a side note, be aware of the fact that the thickness of metal equals more weight, meaning youll need a sturdy floor to support a heavy safe.
