A gun cabinet is a great feature piece to have in your home. It provides a safe presentation for your firearms, keeping them out of the reach of children, away from the elements, and safely tucked away yet accessible in an emergency.
USA Gun Cabinets offers quality, Amish-made hidden gun cabinets in a variety of shades and finished with customizable hardware and trim. These cabinets are not only functional – they’re also beautiful!
Understanding the Basics
Let’s start small – how did hidden gun cabinets come to be? Safes themselves have been used since the days of Julius Caesar, who stored his myriad treasures of gold and bronze in them. The first “functional” safe with swinging doors and generally usable features was manufactured in England in the 1700’s.
Finally, in 1835, an English locksmith created the first truly burglar-proof safe, which is turned into a business that’s still in business today – Chubb Locks.
Hidden Safes
Humans have long-since been fascinated with the art of illusion – from magic to secret hidden rooms in their homes, the wealthy revel in the deception that multi-use objects bring. Everyone has seen the hidden reading nooks tucked behind bookshelves, or a cellar entrance through the kitchen island. We’re channeling that love of the mysterious with our hidden gun cabinet designs.
A hidden gun cabinet isn’t quite as secure as a standard safe – it is not constructed of steel and doesn’t have a large locking mechanism. The safety of a hidden cabinet comes from its unassuming appearance. All of the hidden gun cabinets created here initially appear as a simple bookshelf, then reveal a safe storage space.
How They Work
Our hidden gun cabinets are simple to operate, yet impenetrable to people who aren’t aware of its features. These cabinets have a small latch underneath the top of the decorative frame that unlocks the mechanism. Once unlocked, the front of the frame slides forward to leave the bookshelf itself undisturbed, but revealing the secret sliding door inside.
The sliding frame inside has room to hold up to five guns and slides seamlessly back into the bookshelf façade. This furniture piece is an ideal addition to a living room or even a bedroom setup. We’re able to add a variety of stain colors and hardware options to personalize your hidden gun cabinet and match the rest of the furniture in your home.
