Affordable security box you trust

poncho524 · July 12, 2019, 08:14 PM

I currently own a stack-on 18 gun convertible security cabinet. It's actually fairly well done. No outside screws to take it apart. The lock is ok, but still a pickable wafer lock.

I feel like if you swap out the lock w a more decent cam lock it would be that much better.

Sure, the steel is only so thick/strong. But I'm primarily concerned about keeping curious teenagers out.

So I'm looking to get another box, maybe smaller for another house.

What do you all trust / not trust that isnt a $1000+ safe?

Since you don't want anything expensive (<$1000) here is one that will give you teenager protection plus some fire protection
