While combination locks provide a sense of security, easy-to-guess combinations like "0000" defeat their purpose. Gun safes are designed with security in mind, using continuous welds and construction from a single piece of high-quality steel to exceed standards. It is important to inform the manufacturer of any lock combination changes to maintain warranty coverage. Proper gun safe usage includes obtaining insurance, considering a dehumidifier, organizing storage, not leaving the safe unattended, keeping it locked, avoiding tools near it, and storing ammunition separately from firearms.

1. Although having a robust combination lock to protect your
gun safe may give you peace of mind, remember that any
combination lock is only as secure as the person who sets and
knows the combination. According to Data Genetics,
approximately one-fifth of all users use one of three four-digit
combinations: "0000," "1111," or "1234". While it's true that
the combination for a 24 gun safe should be easy to
remember, making it so easy to figure out that an unauthorized intruder can figure it out defeats the
point of a combination lock.

all been designed with security in mind. Our safes are constructed from a single solid piece of steel bent
and fitted until the top and bottom are welded together. Continuous MIG welds provide the highest
level of security. Unlike many of our competitors, who construct absolute safety from a single piece of
high-quality steel and then fill in the gaps with resin filler, we build complete protection from a single
piece of high-qualitysteel.Ourentire bestgunsafes aredesignedand manufactured inthe United States

Possessing a gun can be difficult, but owning a gun safe does not have to be. We spoke with seasoned
gun owners and safety experts on the dos and don'ts of gun safe ownership.
Get homeowner's insurance to cover your gun safe.
Get security-measures insurance—whether you have a little or large gun safe, a safe is an investment in
and of itself, so make sure you notify your insurance providers.
Consider obtaining a dehumidifier for your gun safe.

2. Humidity can ruin a firearm, so invest in a dehumidifier to maintain yours in good working order.
Organize the storage of your firearms.
Firearm safes that are disorganized are inherently unsafe and can be a security issue. Use the available
storage space and maintain your safe adequately arranged to avoid any confusion or accidents.
Do not leave your safe unattended.
Instead ofthe living room or dining room, keepa firearm safe in anoffice,spare bedroom,or basement.
This conceals your safe and stops others from gaining access to it.
The safe's door should not be opened.
A dreadful accident can occur if the safe is left unlocked and unattended. For safety concerns, double-
check that the door is closed and locked.
Keep tools away from the safe.
If you leave tools lying about, someone could gain access to your weaponry. Keep instruments out of
reach and take extra measures.
Powder and ammo should not be stored with firearms in the same safe.
Never store the powder in a safe because it could become a ticking time bomb. Other gun owners and
rifle experts recommend investing in a smaller safe that is solely for ammunition storage.
