The Red Shield 16 Gun Key Lock Safe provides stationary, mechanical key-access security for long gun collections without reliance on electronic solenoids, keypads, or external wiring. Built for firearm owners who prefer physical key control, the safe features a 2 mm thick structural steel body, a 3 mm steel door plate, and a reinforced 6 mm anti-pry door edge. Locking security is maintained by a heavy-duty mechanical key system that engages 6 solid locking points across the frame. Nominal capacity accommodates up to 16 long firearms, while the fully carpet-lined interior and integrated door storage protect finishes and organise accessories.

Key Features

• Mechanical Key-Lock Reliability: Uses a manual key-locking mechanism driving 6 solid locking bolts, eliminating dead battery risks, wiring faults, or electronic lockouts.
• Anti-Pry Construction: Fabricated with a 2 mm structural steel body, a 3 mm door plate, and an integrated 6 mm anti-pry door edge to resist forced leverage attacks.

• Autonomous Lighting: Equipped with a motion-activated internal LED light strip operating on self-contained dry-cell batteries, requiring no 240V mains connection.
• Protective Exterior Finish: Coated in a deluxe hammer-tone powder coat engineered for scratch and corrosion resistance in indoor and shed environments.

Who is the Red Shield 16 Gun Key Lock Safe for?

• Australian rural property owners storing Category A and B long guns — Stores up to 16 long firearms inside a 1500 mm (H) x 550 mm (W) x 550 mm (D) cabinet, providing dedicated, non-electric security for working rifles and shotguns on properties where power outages or solenoid failures could impede access.
• Sports shooters and club collectors seeking mechanical key-lock security — Combines a 2 mm thick structural steel body, 3 mm steel door plate, and 6 mm anti-pry edge with a manual 6-bolt locking mechanism, ensuring high-strength physical security without the maintenance demands or lockout risks of digital keypad systems.

Less suitable for: Gun owners who require a freestanding safe that does not require bolting down; at an unladen weight of 90 kg, this safe falls below the 150 kg statutory threshold and must be bolted to the floor or wall to achieve legal compliance, meaning buyers who cannot anchor their safe require a heavier vault weighing 150 kg or more.
