Gun cabinets

Gun storage safes are essential for hunters, police officers, and those working in internal affairs bodies.

Safety is paramount when it comes to gun storage. It should also be added that a gun safe is also mandatory according to the laws of the Republic of Latvia.

GUMI offers various types of safes:

• Safes for hunting weapons;
• Sporting gun safes;
• Hand gun safes;
• Safes for weapons and ammunition with an electronic code lock or a conventional mechanical lock.

The thickness of the walls of the metal safe or metal cabinet (metal box) intended for the storage of firearms, their interchangeable essential components, ammunition or high-energy pneumatic weapons shall be at least 2.5 mm. The industrially produced safe of another material specially designed for the storage of a firearm is equivalent in terms of durability to such a metal safe or metal cabinet (metal box). The safe or metal cabinet can be locked with a lock that can only be unlocked by the owner of the weapon.

If the safe or metal cabinet (metal box) is smaller than 1500x400x300 mm, it is strengthened by connecting it to the floor or wall.

Classification of safety standards of safes according to the European classification:

• Standard EN 1143-1 – determines the classification of all types of safes. Each safe is classified according to one of six anti-burglary security classes from 0 to 6. The higher the class, the heavier the construction of the safe and the more complex the anti-burglary mechanism.
• Standard EN 14450 – determines the classification of safe cabinets. Two safety classes S1 and S2 are distinguished.

The safety and compliance of safe locks is determined by the European safety standard EN 1300, which distinguishes the following safety classes: A, B and C:

• For example, a safe equipped with a class A or B lock will be suitable for private use.
• Class C locks are used in safes subject to particularly high and specialized security conditions.
