Who is the Red Shield 16 Gun Safe - Melb for?

• Australian Category A and B Licence Holders — requires a compliant secure storage solution that satisfies state regulations for steel thickness, which this electronic long gun safe achieves via its 3mm thick door and 2mm thick body, while its 90 kg deadweight provides a highly robust frame that can be anchored to the floor or wall using pre-drilled holes.
• Sports Shooters with Medium-to-Large Collections — requires high-capacity storage for up to 16 long guns within a footprint of 1500mm (H) x 550mm (W) x 550mm (D), allowing them to house multiple rifles and shotguns securely in a single dedicated unit.

Less suitable for: Users who need to store more than 12 to 14 scoped rifles comfortably, who should scale up to a larger capacity safe, or those requiring official fire-resistance or waterproof ratings, who should opt for a fire-rated or double-walled insulated gun safe instead.
