Buying A Gun Cabinet? – The 4 Tough Choices To Make With A Gun Cabinet Purchase

Considering the purchase of a gun cabinet, possibly a Stack-On gun cabinet? Gun cabinets are a reasonably priced alternative to gun safes, whether a furniture-quality display piece or a stout security cabinet. Though gun cabinets are no doubt less secure than gun safes, the fact of the matter is that they do indeed prevent guns from falling into the hands of children and the average unsophisticated burglar while also allowing you to display your favorite pieces or enhance the atmosphere of a trophy room or den. These are the four choices to be made when selecting a gun cabinet:

Material/Construction

Wood or steel, those are your two choices. Think of form versus function. Are you worried about thieves and children, or do you want a fancy display? Gun cabinets made of wood are beautiful display pieces, but easily broken into. Like any other piece of wood furniture, you’ll have the option of cherry, oak, or pine. Steel, on the other hand, isn’t as nice-looking at wood, but steel gun cabinets are much more secure. Different brands are also a consideration. When it comes to steel, the top brand is Stack-On gun cabinets.

Capacity/Space

Tell me, do you know a single gun owner with only one gun? What gun owner isn’t wishing for an addition to his weapons set? The odds are very high that even though you only have 10, maybe 12 guns now, that it will grow in the next few years. Remember to think about these future additions to your gun family when you buy your new cabinet. You might also want to choose a gun cabinet that has shelves and display areas for handguns and knives.

Lock

Anyone who is determined enough and for who time is not an issue will eventually successfully invade a gun cabinet. However, since over 90% of all home burglaries last from three to five minutes, most burglars can’t be that determined. So remember that a good electronic or combination lock will help keep your guns away from thieves and children.
