Gun Safety – Secure Guns in a Gun Safe

This year across the country background checks on people purchasing concealed firearms is up an average of ten percent. Carrying a concealed weapon in public is legal in forty-nine of the fifty US states, as long as you have a permit; there is also a requirement that firearms are secured when not being carried. Reports are also showing large amounts of ammunition are also being sold. These sales of guns and ammo are in line with spikes in requests for secluded pistol licenses whenever there is a gun related tragedy.

AX11678 Compact Gun Safe
Guns left in a car must be locked, concealed from view and preferably secured in a gun safe. The AX11812 Compact Key Lock Safe is an ideal size gun safe for the car or when travelling.  When being used in motor vehicles as a gun safe the AX11812 can be mounted using the included steel mounting sleeve and mounting hardware. For gun owners looking for a combination lock gun safe the AX11678 Combination Compact Gun Safe features solid steel construction and comes with a long self-locking security cable to keep the gun safe secured to a large fixed object inside the vehicle.


AX116522 Biometric Gun Safe
For the home and office, there are multiple types of safes suitable for use as a gun safe. There are gun safes specifically made for long guns and pistols that includes safes featuring biometric, combination, key and electronic keypads. Fireproof home safes come in many sizes and are perfect for use as a gun safe and there is a safe for all budgets. Wall safes and floorsafes are also used as gun safes and provide the added security of stealth when securing guns from inquisitive children.
If yours is one of the 40% of US homes with guns and one of the 50% that doesn’t have a gun safe now is the time to purchase a gun safe and give children, visitors and family the security they deserve.

Gun Security - There are over 1,500 accidental firing fatalities a year in the United States. What is alarming is that guns are the second highest cause of non-natural deaths for children in the United States. Surveys reveal 40% of US homes with children have guns and that 50% of homes with guns do not store the firearms safely.
The American Academy of Paediatricians (AAP) recommends:
  • The gun should be locked up
  • The gun should not be loaded
  • Ammunition should never be stored with the gun
  • Ammunition should be locked away separately to the guns
  • Safe keys or combinations should not be available to children
To secure guns the best protection is a fireproof gun safe. A good gun safe offers both fire protection and in the event of fire water protection from the gallons of water used to extinguish the blaze.

Hollon RSV-5922C – The Sixteen Rifle Reserve Series Fireproof Gun Safe.

The Hollon Reserve series of fireproof gun safes are a great alternative to the more expensive Republic Series of gun safes. The RSV-5922C like the PDO RG-16C has a long gun capacity of 16 rifles inside the safe but comes without a pocket door organizer. The quoted gun capacity of 16 rifles will vary and is dependent upon the size of the rifles and accessories.

As with the PDO RG-16C gun safe the body of the safe is 1.25” thick consisting of two layers of fireboard one inch thick while the door is 5” thick with three layers of fireboard 1.5” thick. The safe is Torch Resistant Fire Rated for one-hour fireproof protection at 1250 degrees Fahrenheit. In the event of a fire the safe door has, a heat activated intumescent door seal designed to seal out smoke and water.

The steel used in the body of the gun safe is ten (10) gauge seamless as is the door. Ten-gauge solid steel plate added to the entire door plus drill/ballistic armored hard plate to protect the lock provides excellent steel protection in the event of an attempted forced entry.

Like the PRO RG-16 gun safe the RSV-5922C has seven (7) active steel locking bolts, three (3) fixed locking bolts on the hinged side and an active spring-loaded re-locker to prevent punch attacks. The major difference here, is that the RSV-5992C locking bolts are one inch (1”) diameter compared to the one and a half inch diameter (1 1/2”) of the RG-16C. All the locking bolts are chrome plated solid steel.
External hinges allow full 180 degree door opening and removal of the gun safe door for maintenance or repair. Pre-drilled anchor holes allow the gun safe to be bolted into position making it impossible for thieves to make off with the safe.

The interior of the RSV-5922C gun safe has four removable shelves, three small adjustable shelves and one full length adjustable shelf, and is finished in a soft plush grey trim.
The design of this fireproof gun safe far exceeds California Department of Justice Regulatory Standards for Residential Security Containers and at a price nearly 20% cheaper than the PRO RG-16C represents great value.

Hollon Republic Series Fireproof Gun Safe Cabinets – How Do They Shape Up.

Experts in this field of gun safe cabinets, locksmiths and vendors alike, agree that there are a number of recommended guidelines for purchasers to follow when buying a gun safe cabinet. These recommendations are well documented on the internet and this article is not going to re-hash the reasons for following the recommendations. Rather, the purpose of this article is to summarize the guidelines and then compare the recommendations with the specifications for the Hollon Gun Safe Cabinet Republic Series.

What to look for when buying a gun safe cabinet:
  • How many rifles do you want to secure now and consider what future requirements you may have.
  • Safe doors with plate steel ¼" to ½" thick
  • Safe bodies constructed of 10 gauge steel or thicker
  • Constructed using continuous welds not stitch welds.
  • Dial, digital or biometric lock
  • PRO RG39 Gun Safe with Pocket Door
    Organizer and Opening 180 Degrees
    A minimum of two locking bolts on each of the safes four sides
  • Hardened steel locking bolts 1" to 1½" in diameter.
  • A relocker of some form is essential.
  • Preferably external hinges
  • Pre-drilled anchor holes for anchoring the safe in position.
  • Preferable the gun safe cabinet should be fireproof.
  • A fireproof gun cabinet should have an expandable door seal.
How does the PRO Republic Series compare:
Coming in four sizes, holding from sixteen (16) to forty-five (45) rifles, and having security for pistols using the pocket door organizer the PRO Republic gun safe cabinet series has the range of safes to suit your requirements now and into the future.
5' Doors with 1 1/2" Locking Bolts
Having doors 5" thick with ¼" (3 gauge) solid steel plate added to the entire door for pry bar resistance and drill/ballistic armored hard plate to protect the lock the Republic series gun cabinet doors are well constructed to resist burglary attempts.

The body of the RG45 gun safe cabinet is constructed of 1/8" seamless steel
Unlike the body construction of RG16, RG22 and RG39 gun safe cabinets, which are constructed of nine (9) gauge (5/32") seamless steel the steel used in the RG45 gun safe is one eighth inch 1/8” seamless.
Debate is strong in the industry over what is the best lock for a gun safe with a number of people considering combination locks more durable and trouble free than digital locks and biometric locks even though they are slower to open. Combination locks come standard with the PRO gun cabinet.
Importantly all the Republic Series Gun Safe come with locking bolts on the hinge side. This is especially important due to the safes having external hinges. With the exception of the PDO-RG45 gun safe cabinet, which has eleven (11) active steel locking bolts plus five (5) fixed locking bolts on the hinged side, the other gun safes in the PRO series have seven (7) active steel locking bolts and three (3) on the hinged side. All the locking bolts are 1 to 1 1/2" diameter chrome plated solid steel.
An active spring loaded re-locker to prevent punch attacks comes standard with each gun cabinet in the series.
To allow the safe door to open a full 180 degree door opening the Republic series safes are constructed with external hinges.
While the gun safes may be quite heavy a determined burglar will still find a way of moving a safe so each gun safe cabinet comes with pre-drilled anchor holes.
Three layers of fireboard in the door and two layers in the body provide Torch Resistant Fire Rated protection of one hour at 1250 degrees F. To protect the safes interior, and the valuables it contains from smoke and water, the PRO series of safes have a heat activated expandable intumescent door seal.
The PRO Republic Series gun safes not only meet the recommendations but in many instances exceeds the recommendations living up to the Hollon Safes core value of ‘constructing safes to the top of industry standards and then a little higher to ours’.

Gun Safes-Steel Gauges Used In Constructing the Body and Door.

Not all gun safes are built the same and one of the most telling differences is the security provided by the door and the body. The steel content of the door and the body of a gun safe, in conjunction with other construction features such as locks, locking bolts, re-lockers and hinges will determine how secure the gun safe is against a burglary attack. The thicker the steel the more protection the gun safe provides against burglars using cutting machinery.

The gun safe door is the first point of attack for burglars so it is important to research what materials are used in constructing the door. Most safe doors will feature much thicker steel than the gun safe body. Look for gun safe doors made with plate steel that is from one quarter inch (1/4”) to half an inch (1/2”) thick. Hollon Safe’sRepublic Series gun safe doors are 5” thick and are built using 3 gauge (1/4”) thick steel. Some gun safe doors may look thick but are actually only 1/16” plate wrapped around a layer of fire material. Steel is expensive and so are the valuables you are protecting, so be careful not to sacrifice security by purchasing a lightweight safe lacking good steel protection.


Generally, it is recommended that at a minimum, 10-gauge steel plate be used to construct the walls of a gun safe. Hollon gun safes use 9 gauge seamless. The thickness of steel used in the walls of most gun safes on the market today ranges from fourteen gauge (5/64”) to three gauge (1/4”). The thicker the steel used to construct the body of the gun safe the greater the protection against burglary attack by cutting. Also, the thicker the steel used the greater will be the weight of the gun safe.
