Gun safes are a means to secure and protect one or more firearms from use when not intended or as a means of keeping the guns out of your family members,especially kids . In many places around the world a gun safe is required by law, in addition a gun lock or metal gun cabinet would also be acceptable.
Gun safes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, thanks to the advances of technology they may come with additional features such as water or fire proof, biometric capablilities and even voice activation.
Internal locking mechanisms vary from manufactuer to manufactuer and can often be a selling point to boost their companies sales.In addition the better gun safes are tested by UL (Underwriters Laboratory), those safes that pass the UL Certification are given a Residential Security Container.
The main benefit of buying a UL certified safe means that it meets minimum security capabilites and that it will be guaranteed a minimum of 10 000 openings and closings of the safe.
While most safes only provide protection against burglary, the more up market models provide protection against fire and flooding, some even go to the extent to offer rust protection by adding a electrical heater inside the safe that keeps the tempature inside the safe above the dew point meaning that moisture doesn’t form and potentially rust the guns.
