Features of the Stack-On 8 Gun Security Cabinet
These are some of the features of the Stack-On 8 Gun Security Cabinet that has made it quite popular. You have to understand that this is a basic gun cabinet, and not a top of the line gun safe.
Secure
This is designed to be used for hunting rifles and shotguns that can keep unauthorized people from getting the firearms easily. That means kids can just open it and play with the guns, which is very dangerous without you or other adults around.
The basic premise is simple. It’s a cabinet with a lock. You just keep the key with you at all times, and no one can just casually reach in and use your rifles.
In general, you don’t need anything more sophisticated than this setup. The basic principle is that you don’t want it to be easy for others to get to your firearms. With this, the lock can be difficult to beat even with a hammer and a screwdriver.
Designed for long guns
This cabinet is designed specifically for long guns. That’s why it’s 55 inches tall. It’s meant to accommodate rifles that are 52 inches long.
Even slightly longer rifles (up to 54 inches long) can be arranged to fit inside. There’s a removable shelf you can take out so you can store the longer firearms along the cabinet back wall.
The barrel rests to keep your rifles secure in their place. The standoffs keep most rifles with scopes away from the back of the cabinet.
There’s also a foam pad at the bottom so that you don’t scratch the stock of the rifle.
Weight
Its weight is also convenient at 72 pounds. You can have a friend help you out, and it won’t be a bother to lift up the stairs to the 2nd
Its weight is also light enough for upper room floors. When you use heavy 500-pound gun safes, upper floors won’t be able to hold them up securely without suffering damage to the floor.
Thieves can’t just pick this up either. That’s because you can just bolt it to the floor and wall.
It’s not all that difficult to do since you already have the holes pre-drilled. You don’t even have to buy the fasteners since they’re already part of the purchase.
Space
You can put in 6 rifles and shotguns side by side easily. With some planning, you can also put in 8 rifles inside.
That’s not all. There’s also a top shelf where you can put ammo and cleaning paraphernalia.
Color
You can pick the cabinet in either black or green color. Either way, it looks good in your bedroom, living room, or “man cave”.
Pros

- It offers basic security that keeps casual thieves and children from touching and handling your rifles. People can’t break the lock easily, and they can’t just pick it up either.

Cons
- It’s a gun cabinet, not a top of the line safe. A determined thief can get inside given enough time.
