I am looking for a gun locker / cabinet for the home. Safes are out of my price range and they are very big and bulky. I kind of want something i can store in a closet and no one will see. Also something that is ?lockable?. I have seen some filing cabinets that lock but they dont have the sapce for my rifles and pistols. Any suggestions would be appreciated. :)
 
home depot sells a Knaack contractor tool chest that i am looking at to go in my closet it`s a small size 30 inches long so i would work for pistols only. Bolt that baby to the floor and it would do the trick. $179 at my local HD. Not fireproof though.
 
Harden the entire closet. Screw heavy plywood securely to the studs. Replace the door with a 1-3/4” solid core. Screw the hinges and strike plate in with 3” screws. Plus use commercial hinges that won’t slide apart if the pins are removed. This will be a strong as most low cost metal boxes and you can use the entire closet for storage of valuables. If you need something stouter that this I would suggest a bonafide safe.
 
I have that same Stack-on cabinet, Bass Pro carries them already assembled and WITH the "Patented barrel rests" for $99
 
Go to an Office Supply Suplus type store. Look for a locking fire proof filing cabinate that can be locked. If no success, get a small safe for your closet.
 
Sentry makes a 14/16 gun safe that's very appropriate to that purpose. Fits well in a moderately sized closet. I got mine from Walmart. The shipper they used brought it right inside the apartment.
