SecureIT Gun Storage
I've been looking for an additional Gun Safe and have been looking at a lot of online videos. It seems like most "Gun Safes" are really Residential Security Containers and can't prevent a serious intruder from breaking into the safe. Also the Fire Protection ratings seem questionable.
I've seen on line a "new to me" steel gun cabinet called the SecureIt Agile Model 52. The site is secureitgunstorage.com.
Does anyone have this container or know of anyone that does?
What do you think of this storage cabinet?
Any advice or comments will be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Re: SecureIT Gun Storage
While I don't have that particular model, I can attest to the fact that through all the research I've done, the only real advantage to the "traditional" gun safes are that they weigh a ton and can't just be picked up and moved. However, if you bolt a steel cabinet down, it's nearly the same thing. Otherwise, the general difference in construction is a bunch of drywall and carpet. The steel is similar and can be cut through just as easily. The doors are obviously different, but with some time and a sawzall, going through the side wall of a traditional gun safe is not really that much more difficult than the cabinet.

Re: SecureIT Gun Storage
I got one a few months back and I love it. It's a big departure from the classical approach of having the biggest, heaviest block of steel your joists can manage. It came flat-packed, was easy to get the parts up stairs on my own and construction was a breeze. I have it bolted into the joists and studs. It ain't going anywhere. There's no fire rating claim as it's just a steel box, but the good news is it can breath because the back is louvered to support the racking kit.
The 'cradle-grid' system it comes with is great too as it can be adjusted to fit each long-gun. I've added magnets to the door that hold each of my pistols. I have one of those mechanic's magnet tool holding bars that I'm going to add to the door to hold mags. Door mounting is easy as you can remove the back of the door and drill anywhere you need. It's deep enough that pistols won't hit the long guns. I'll throw up a few pics later if you're interested.

Re: SecureIT Gun Storage
This was my thought as well, although I only watched the assembly video, I've never seen one in person. The fact that it only holds 6 guns for the price of $500 will probably keep me away for now. I do like that it has ventilation, and the storage mechanisms seem nice.
The guy kept calling the nuts, bolts. At one point he called them screws.

Re: SecureIT Gun Storage
After reading your comments and thinking about it for a while longer, I finally ordered the Gun Storage unit and the accessory package of shelves and bins. The website offers a 10% discount for Military (Active and Retired) and LEO. I'll let you know how I like it once I receive it and get it set up.

Re: SecureIT Gun Storage
Maybe I missed it but what gauge steel is it? Looks pretty susceptible to a guy with a fire axe
