This is pretty similar to the Stack-On 18 gun cabinet I got at Tractor Supply for 180 this past summer. The exterior looks 99% the same, angled corners, recessed lock, black plastic key head. The Stack on has the hinge on the inside of the door, but the door lock is the same dual bar top and bottom. This has more shelves, but the Stack-On has plastic barrel rests to go with the 2 shelves. Also like another comment says I think your shelves are upside down. The 'lip' is supposed to be on the bottom, but if you like having the front 'stop' then I guess it serves you well enough, though it would help prevent that bowing you're having if the lip/rib is down
I have the Sentinel. What I can tell you is, flip your shelves over. You have them upside down. On mine at least there were two different paints and the instructions basically said shiny side up. Which ended up being the opposite of what your shelves are. I’ve had a ton of weight on the shelves and never had one even flex. Idk just a suggestion yours may be different
Great cheap option to store ammo only like you are doing to keep more room for rifles in the real safe.you made me buy one also.nice video and nice ammo stash.
a "heavier" safe won't do you any good, unless it actually has a better locking mechanism and much heavier gauge metal. That's what matters. These will get bolted down, so it's not like somebody can just walk away with them. It's all about the thickness of the metal and the type of lock on it. I've seen way too many locks that would be bypassed in seconds on very expensive safes. These are great for storage and to make it slightly harder than just grabbing the guns off the counter.
I mentioned that they are not meant for a first line of defense. But they are much better than leaving your gun on the sofa, that seems to happen far too often.
Someone with tool skills can cut into an actual safe as well if they bring a simple tool. So I don’t quite understand that argument. The main benefit you get from actual safes are the fire rating.
@@BureauATF There’s definitely a difference in security. My point is the cabinets serve the purpose of keeping things together and keeping honest hands off them like kids or visitors etc. I still think the main benefit of an actual safe is the fire rating but to each their own. It’s up to the individual to decide what’s right for them. If someone’s got to your safe/cabinet with tools you’ve kind of failed already.
@@AICvideoYou did a fine job explaining this in the video; The comment section's just plagued with morons, usually (and unfortunately)... This safe could work perfectly fine for a lot of people. However, if someone has 2 extremely rebellious teenage boys that have been caught trying to pick locks or have taken your keys and took your vehicle out on a joyride- then sure... Maybe they oughta invest in Ft. Knox level security safes, no doubt. But if you have young children OR older children (that have been raised right and know better), this works fine. Biggest thing is hiding the safe's key. Anyone with a bedside handgun safe with a hand code or fingerprint unlock could easily just toss the key in there and that'd take care of that. Basically as long as you just don't leave your safe key laying around where someone will see it and could access it easily, you'll be fine. Great video tho, thanks for sharing!

the stackon has the exact same piano hinge. These are 100% made in the same factory.
These are cabinets not saves?

YOU HAVE THE SHELFS IN UPSIDE DOWN THAT HELPS THE BUCKELING
Thanks for the video, could you measure the thickness of the steel for both the door and the sides?
Love it as a budget excess storage safe
it's perfect. I like storing my ammo and accessories in them.

Definitely good option for budget until you get a real heavy safe . Knowing this I'd invest in hidden camera in that area and adjacent areas .

@@AICvideo a liberty safe or a Winchester safe would be bettter in this situation
@@AICvideo there not that expensive come to find out
Wouldn't trust liberty safe with my soul @seancrider8053
Just may get one now. Thanks
If you need extra storage, and have other security measures in place, then They are a great option.
Wow sounds like a filing cabinet
Do you know what the interior depth is for the Mossy Oak one? I can't find the specifications for the interior online.
Is there a bottom to it or is it open
Yes, has a bottom.
better than nothing
It's not a safe! It's a security cabinet!
A kid with simple tool skills can cut into that in 30 seconds.

Those are actually just cabinets. They work but, not secure as a real safe.
agreed 100%, I even say that these should never be considered a first line of defense.
thanks sherlock
