The most important thing about GunVault safes is the safety mechanisms that are built into them. Their patented design means you won’t have to have any sort of key to get into them, as they can either be programmed with a combination of numbers which only you know, or you can set them to recognize your fingerprints, so that only you can get into the safe. The finger print safety model is probably the best model, as it requires your touch to get into. This type of safety mechanism is available on both the small and the large GunVault gun safes.

All GunVault gun safes are constructed of sixteen-gauge steel, which makes them extra tough and able to stand up to the roughest of treatment. This is especially important in the Mini and Mini-Deluxe models, as they are small enough to store in a closet, or at the office. They also have soft foam padding on the inside, so if you have additional valuables you’d like to store with your gun, such as family jewelry, watches, or even extra cash, you can be sure they’ll be padded and safe from any harm.

GunVault gun safes are build with precise fitting, which means these safes are virtually impossible to crack with traditional lock pick tools. In addition, they have an added security measure which completely locks out the keypad, making it impossible to access after a certain number of attempts without the reset code. GunVault has also taken power loss into account, as the Mini-Deluxe model features an audible sound which will alert you when the power is running low, which could prevent your safe from being secure. In addition, the keypad which is included on all GunVault gun safes has over 12 million programmable key combinations, so setting up your safe with a number only you can access is practically guaranteed.

In addition to the many safety features, GunVault also features a wide variety of sizes for your gun storage needs. As previously mentioned, if you’re an avid gun collector, you’ll want to look at the GunVault 5500 and 5900 series gun safes. These models are well equipped to keep your numerous shotguns and rifles safe, while also offering storage for ammo and various handguns that you have in your collection.

If you only own a small side arm, the GunVault Mini and Mini-Deluxe models are probably suitable for you. However, if you would like to keep the handgun you keep in your car or truck safe, then GunVault also offers the Micro gun safe model, which includes just enough space for a medium sized handgun and its clip. This style of gun safe is designed to slide easily under the seat of a car or truck, but still offers the protection that users of GunVault have come to rely on over the years.

Because all of GunVault products are made with safety and protection in mind, not to mention sixteen-gauge steel to keep your valuables safe, there is no reason to own any other model of gun safe on the market. GunVault has you covered.

Where are you going to put that gun once you’ve brought it home? You can’t just leave it lying about the house like your lazy dog, your kid is bound to find it, pick it up, and shoot himself. Sounds like you need to start thinking about buying a gun safe.

Gun safes are incredibly useful for safely storing your firearms. There are all different types of gun safes to choose from and all of them have different sizes, shapes, utilities, functions, and prices. You’re going to want to choose wisely and pick one that is just right for you or you might end up having some severe buyer’s remorse.

Here are some questions you should be thinking about before you run off and buy yourself a brand new gun safe to store your guns in:

What Kind of Gun Do You Own?

This is the most important question of all. The type of gun you own whether it be a hand gun, rifle, shot gun, chain gun, what-have-you, is going to determine the type of gun safe you need to buy.

A hand gun safe built to store hand guns isn’t going to have the proper components that a gun safe built for storing rifles is going to have, hell they probably aren’t even going to be the same size!

If this is your first gun but you know it won’t be your last (yes, I know its fun to collect more than one type of gun sometimes) you’ll also want to think into the future. Are you going to collect all different varieties of firearms? Do you think all of your guns will be the same size pretty much?

If you don’t mind spending the money and have the space to store multiple gun safes in your house this probably isn’t such a big deal. Just buy one now and buy another one later when you get a new gun.

However, most people don’t have that kind of spending money and they want to just have one gun safe. Tailor the gun safe to the type of gun you own and the guns you will own in the future. If you want a variety of firearms get a bigger gun safe so you can accommodate all sorts of styles. If you’re just going to collect hand guns or antique pistols or something, get a small safe and be done with it.

Where Will You Put Your Gun Safe?

This is another tricky question. Before you rush off and by the biggest damn gun safe on the market you might want to consider where you’re going to put it. If you’re living in a small condo or apartment somewhere in the city, you might not have much room for a huge gun safe.
Personally, I keep my gun safe in my basement. There’s lots of storage space down there and I own a few big guns so I like to have a big gun safe for them. I keep it tucked away in a corner so its not obstructing any movement and the guns will be pretty easy to access if I need them in a pinch.

I know some guys who keep their gun safes in their office and one lucky guy’s wife even lets him keep his gun safe right in the living room by the fireplace. If you put it by the fireplace though make sure to have a fireproof gun safe. Not everyone can be that lucky, so make sure you know where you’re going to put the gun safe before you buy it.

How Easily Do You Want Access to Your Gun Safe?

If you’re in a dangerous neighborhood or just paranoid about being robbed or murdered, you’ll need to have a gun safe that you can open quickly. You don’t want to have someone leap through your window only to discover that you can’t open the lock and get your gun out fast enough before he shoots you in the head.

You can purchase gun safes with all different kinds of locks on them. A biometric gun safe has a fingerprint detection lock on it.  I have a digital lock on mine so I just punch the numbers (just four digits) and it opens up. Most cheap gun safes have decent digital locks and I find that the digital locks are good enough to keep my kids out and if anyone threatens my family I’ll be able to grab my gun. You never can tell when the zombie invasion might be.

There are a hundred different brands of gun safes out there to choose from and each of them have unique qualities and flaws that you should take into account when buying your first gun safe. Take a look at browning gun safes for that elite and expensive variety, stack on gun safes are great for the middle ground, and homak gun safes are more of the cheaper ones. Just browse around and see what kind of safe you can afford.

Anyway, once you’ve decided what kind of guns you’re going to store in the safe, how big those guns will be, where you’re going to put your gun safe once you have it and what kind of lock you’d like on it, its time to go out and buy yourself a gun safe. Figure out what brands are the best and how much you might have to spend, maybe you’ll decide you want to splurge and even get a wall gun safe.
