Are you looking for a safe gun storage solution that's simple (for you) and nearly impossible (for anyone else) to access? You may be well served to check out Hornady Security's Fireproof Keypad Safe. This new-for-2025 user-friendly safe is perfect for smaller spaces, with the capacity to secure one or two handguns, ammo and valuables from unauthorized access and fire.
The truth is that there's no such thing as a "fireproof" safe, because not all fires are created equal. That said, Hornady Security's Fireproof Keypad Gun Safe comes close, maintaining its integrity for up to 30 minutes at 1,400-degree temperatures Fahrenheit ... a best-in-class capability. It is constructed from heavy-duty 16-gauge steel for the body and thicker 8-gauge for the door.
You, the owner, can access the safe in two ways. The the first is via a programmable touch keypad that has illuminated keys for low-light situations. (Most gun owners will simply practice the keypad access so it can be done by muscle memory in an emergency.) An LED warning light will indicate when the keypad battery is running low. If the keypad fails, a discreet keyhole provides additional access to the safe. Once opened, a door light illuminates the safe's contents in low-light conditions.
Four 1" diameter locking lugs secure the contents of the safe, but Hornady's Fireproof Keypad Safe takes protecting your belongings to the next level. Protective carpet covers the removable shelf and the safe's interior to prevent scratches and unwanted damage. In addition, a powder coat finish protects the safe's steel for added durability.
The final line of security includes a set of concrete anchors to secure the safe to your floor if you wish. If that's not possible in your situation, the sheer weight of the safe will also serve as a deterrent at 49 lbs. Its external dimensions measure 12"x 15"x 16.5". MSRP $258.99; HornadySecurity.com.
