The Red Shield 8 Gun Safe (RS8B) is a compact, heavy-duty steel cabinet engineered for secure domestic storage of Category A and Category B long arms. Measuring 1500 mm (H) × 365 mm (W) × 365 mm (D) with an empty weight of 60 kg, the safe features a 2 mm structural steel body paired with a 3 mm steel door and reinforced 6 mm anti-pry edges. Locking security is driven by a 6-point active locking bolt system engaging the top, bottom, and sides via a spoke handle, operated through a battery-powered electronic digital keypad with a physical manual key override. The interior is fully carpet-lined to prevent firearm marring, illuminated by motion-activated LED lighting, and includes door-mounted storage shelves for accessories.

Who is the Red Shield 8 Gun Safe for?

• Australian recreational hunters and sport shooters — Storing Category A and B long arms within a space-efficient 1500 mm (H) × 365 mm (W) × 365 mm (D) footprint protected by a 6-point locking bolt system and a 3 mm steel door.
• Primary producers — Requiring a dedicated electronic 8-gun safe built from 2 mm structural steel that secures working rifles and shotguns while anchoring securely to wall or floor framing via pre-drilled points.

Less suitable for: Firearm owners seeking unanchored compliance (as its 60 kg empty weight is below the mandatory 150 kg threshold enforced by Australian state registries, requiring permanent bolting), users who need to store more than 8 firearms, or collections containing large optics, tactical pistol grips, and side-mounted bolts that reduce practical clearance inside the 365 mm width; these setups require a wider safe with a footprint of 550 mm width or larger.
