converted an old cheap Stack On gun cabinet to an ammo locker with simple DIY wood scrap shelf. Lock keeps the kids out and bolted to a wall stud in an obvious place in the garage wastes 10 precious minutes a home thieves time.I like the idea of shelves. I feel like it would be easier to get to what I want.
I liked that one at Cabela's. Catch it when it goes on sale. BiMart also has dedicated ammo cabinets. Last I remember they run around a hundred bucksI did as Koda suggested with an old inexpensive steel gun cabinet. Subsequently, I purchased one of these with metal shelfs already installed at Cabelas. One in the house, one in the climate controlled garage. Both work fine to keep the ammo a bit more secure and safely stashed away from kids, but wouldn't take a determined thief long to compromise the lock or cut through the metal if they were prepared to do so.
I did think of that but I don't like the idea of having to dig down to the bottom to get to something. I like the idea of shelves. I feel like it would be easier to get to what I want.
Iv'e been thinking about this too. The problem I see is that it's so obvious, as if to say "here it is, Come and get it". I'd like to find something more discreet, or just plane hidden. I'm looking but nothing has jumped out at me yet.
If you're storing the ammo in your garage, be sure to secure your garage door. Most of them are super easy to unlock.
I've secured the emergency release from my garage door and also installed a second manual latch on the side, which I manually close each night and certainly when I'm away.
Assumes that you have an opener.
But yes, with or without opener, a lot of rollup doors are vulnerable. But then so are houses - most have glass windows that can be armored (film) but are not.
