Thread: Cheap gunsafes

Walking through Mitre10 Mega yesterday looking for a cheap deadlock I was mildly surprised to see gunsafes there so thought I'd put up a pic

I can't vouch for how good they are but they look relatively cheap compared to other prices I have seen around so if it is of some use to someone..

I use smaller Jobmate safes for ammo storage and find them good for that.

some of the cheapy digital locks can be opened by use of a strong magnet

That is fixable quite easily to be fair. But I do prefer the keyed locks for outright reliability as the electronic locks usually have a key backup anyway.

True and a fair point so it is easy to ignore the untrustworthy electronics and drill a hasp and staple onto the thing - most people have access to a drill

I'm not swearing by their quality, it's more like saying that if you are on a budget there are cheaper options out there rather than putting your hard-earned towards an overpriced piece of crap from guncity - I've seen gunshops asking $600 plus for safes only slightly larger than these Chinese crappers

Not everyone has the fabrication skills and access to folders and whatnot to make their own

One other thing if anyone is looking for cheap storage - once in a while fireproof filing cabinets come up on Tardme and they make excellent ammo storage - I got a 3-drawer Chubb one for 40 bucks out of a corporate furniture disposal place and I recommend those suckers but be warned, they are over 150 kilos to move
