If you have guns in your home, you want to hide them from the family in order to keep them safe. If kids see a big safe in your room, they'll be curious and they'll want to see what's inside and on it, it's a good idea to hide the safe and do the best way to put the safe in the closet.
As you all know, you can't put a big gun in the closet because it won't fit. Or it will fit and the only thing you have in the closet is safe and that's not what a cabinet pistol should do safely in your room.
A closet safe must take up space in your closet without interfering in other things. Every small pistol sure can be a closet gun safe, because most of them fit on the shelf or on the bottom of the cabinet. I would recommend avoiding rifle safes that are so small that you can fit one or two handguns inside because it can happen that you lose the safe in the closet!
So, there are two good kinds of closet pistol safes. The first type is a slim and high gun gun safe and the second type is the gun safe box. A fabric gun with a slim design can fit in the cabinet and it won't take too much space. The gun safe box you can put on the floor, you'll be able to easily access it and you won't lose, as it could happen with lock boxes.
So, I want to share with you the most popular cupboard safes for rifles and handguns so you can make the choice that will fit in the closet and won't stand in the way of your daily work.
We all have to take into account that there are larger and smaller cabinets on the market, so make sure that you check the dimensions of the inside of the cabinet and the size of the vault before purchase.
Top 5 Best Closet Gun Safe Reviews
Barska Quick Access Gun Safe Reviews
The best closet pistol safe is Barska rifle safe because it is made to fit in the closet so you probably don't have a problem with it, but don't forget to check the dimensions first. The Barska Cabinet gun safely can fit up to 4 rifles and it comes with a shelf at the top so you can store ammunition for them. The safe doesn't have a fully upholstered interior, but it has protection on the ground that's pretty ok!
This is a biometric rifle safe, which means it's using your fingerprint to open the door, and it can store up to 120 different fingerprints. This is amazing, but I'm not sure why you would need so much? Anyway, you don't have to use them all. Since it's a biometric lock, it requires batteries, and when they run out of power, you can easily unlock the safe with the backup key.
Stack-On Defense Safe SHD-SU-BG-E
This pistol is certainly similar to the Barska pistol certainly in dimensions and capacity, which makes it a good choice for a cupboard pistol too. It can store up to 3 long arms and 4 handguns because it has a rack for both. The interior is full of carpeting, so you don't damage your guns and it comes with a shelf on top of ammunition. A great thing about this shelf is that it's removable!
The electronic combination keyboard allows you to store your own PIN number, which is large, because you have a combination already in the head you can use. At the moment you lock the safe, the 3 locking bolts are activated, so you can be sure that it is a good safe for the money.
Best Choice Products 5 Gewehr Safe
This pistol sure is slightly larger than other tresore I checked before to be sure it can fit in your closet before you buy it. This is something you need to check safely with every cabinet weapon. This has enough space to store 5 rifles inside and it doesn't have a fully cremated interior, just the floor. Like others, this one has an extra storage space, but it's locked up, which can be both good and bad. Bad, because you have to spend the time unlocking it, well, because it's secured!
This rifle safe also comes with an electric combination lock, which requires a PIN code to unlock, which means you have to have batteries for it. But the backup key and the lock are included when the battery is running, no worries. The 3 locking bolts ensure that the door remains closed when you lock it.
AmazonBasics Security Safe
This is a small safe that can only store handguns and it's a big cabinet safe, because it will definitely fit in the closet. It comes in 4 different sizes, which means you can adapt it to your collection and wishes if you're sure of a larger or smaller weapon. Depending on the size, it has an extra shelf or not.
There's a little foal protection for the floor of the vault, so you don't have to worry about scratching your handguns. The electronic lock is a combination lock that has enabled two locking bolts to keep your stuff safe, and it has hidden hinges to resist pry attacks.
Stealth Handgun Hanger Safe
This little vault is actually very interesting, quick access safe you can on the shelf from your closet and I would recommend it somewhere in the middle of the cupboard. The reason for this is its quick access function. The 3 handguns in the vault are laid on hangers and the moment you can unlock the safe, you can grab the weapons that are big in case of emergency. There is room for 2 more handguns on the bottom of the safe!
The lock on the safe is also a combination, but it doesn't have a keyboard over which it has buttons. You need to press them in the right order to unlock the safe. The moment you're doing that the dropdown doors are activated and you can quickly grab the guns.
