Home Gun Safes and Wall Safes

Responsible gun owners use home gun safes or shotgun cabinets to keep their firearms in a secure location where they won't fall into the wrong hands (like children and teenagers), or get stolen in a burglary. Steel security lockers for pistols and rifles, and shotgun cabinets come in a range of choices, some with biometrics access control. This sounds complicated, but it is really very simple. Biometrics access control basically means the handgun safe has a fingerprint door lock. However, some people prefer pistol cabinets opened by a lock and key, a combination lock, or shotgun cabinets secured with a simple padlock.

When buying them, or looking for gun cabinets for sale, it is important to buy one that is secure, yet easy to access in an emergency. No home owner would want to fumble around in the dark looking for keys, or a combination if there was burglar in their home. Even a few seconds delay could have serious consequences. Although it is always best to call the police, sometimes speed is of the essence. This is why biometric gun safes have become so popular these days.

With a biometric gun safe there is no need to fumble around looking for a key, or try and remember a combination lock code to open it. Biometrics access control uses a fingerprint as the access code. Fingerprint handgun safes operate similar to a traditional safe, but you simply swipe your fingerprint for it to open in about a second. Most biometric safes can be programmed to store the fingerprints of several users. They allow you to open the locking mechanism simply by swiping the end of your finger over a laser scanner. Your gun could be in your hand within seconds. 

Among the biometric devices for sale are wall mounted brands, as well as smaller biometric pistol safes that fit easily into a bedside drawer, nightstand, or under a bed. 

Most brands are battery operated with built in systems to warn of a low battery. A battery charge will typically work for several hundred fingerprint scans, openings and closings before recharging or replacing the batteries. 

Biometric pistol safes and rifle safes vary in price from a few hundred dollars (a single fingerprint scanner); to thousands of dollars for larger shotgun cabinets and gun vaults. The larger gun vaults, or shotgun cabinets have the capacity to securely store several long guns, pistols, as well as ammunitions. Some shotgun cabinets with fingerprint door lock security have multiple fingerprint scanners.
