Gun Cabinets vs. Gun Safes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to note that gun cabinets are for storing and displaying your collection. While they do come with locks for added security, they are easier to get into than gun safes. In addition, many gun safes are water resistant and flame resistant, whereas gun cabinets are not. On the down side for gun safes, they are not decorative or pretty, but often heavy and difficult to move.<\/p>\n\n\n

What you will<\/em> get with gun cabinets is a spectacular display that gun safes do not offer. There\u2019s the double-strength glass you can look through to admire your gun collection and show it to others. The cabinet is lined with soft felt and has rows specifically cut to hold each firearm gracefully. Gun cabinets offer added storage for ammunition and smaller guns, and they come in a variety of sizes and styles. (And at DutchCrafters, you can customize them to your heart\u2019s content.) Gun cabinets are large capacity. They are lighter than gun safes, and they are attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n

Gun cabinets offer different display options, some with carousel racks for easy retrieval and some with racks that allow rows of firearms to be displayed. There are also hidden gun cabinet options with the gun rack a hidden unit that\u2019s built into another piece of furniture like a bookcase front. Keep in mind, if you choose a model with a hidden rack, be sure there’s enough room for the rack to pull out easily and that you have it positioned on the correct side that will be useful in your space. <\/p>\n\n\n

Gun safes are a good choice when you\u2019re not looking to display your collection, but prefer to keep it hidden away safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
