Metal Gun Cabinet For The Budget Conscious
For the budget minded gun owner buying a safe can be a bit overwhelming. The need to lock up your firearms is apparent, but the means to purchase a full fledge safe are simply not there. In cases in which a gun safe is not an option, a metal gun cabinet may be a good solution. The cabinet is not as strong or durable as a safe, but it can provide a degree of protection that would otherwise be lacking.
The primary distinction between a gun cabinet and a gun safe is the level of protection. Gun safes are manufactured to protect your valuables from intrusion. This means increasing the thickness of the steel, providing fail safes to door, and using a more sophisticated locking mechanism. Because of the additional steel used in construction, the safe will be considerably heavier than the metal gun cabinet.

Metal gun storage cabinets typically lock with a small key or a simple dial combination lock. For this reason, it is still important that your hide the location of the key, or keep it out reach of prying hands.

Online retailers, sporting good stores, and even your local hardware store will likely cover a model in the one hundred dollar range. For this reason you shouldn't expect too much from the cabinet, but it will get the job done. More expensive metal cabinets are also likely available, bridging the gap between cheap cabinets and more expensive metal safes.
