When creating a gun room, safety is paramount for those who live with you.
Ideally the entrance to your vault is concealed and locked with the walls being reinforced as well.
I would also go as far as leaving the firearms unloaded with magazines detached.
Lockdown offers an intriguing option for storing your firearms. Called Secure Wall, the modular system allows you to customize your gun room to display your firearms.
Lockdown utilizes three panel sizes, 3224, 1424 and 424, all made from 16 gauge steel.
Each panel holds up to 100 lbs.
However, I believe the 100 lbs.
As shown here, the Secure Wall system is strong enough to support the weight of multiple firearms.
per panel should be sufficient for most.
In addition to the panels, Lockdown offers multiple ways to mount your firearms.
For long guns, they offer a three-gun vertical rack or individual long gun hangers for horizontal storage.
Lockdown offers a range of panel sizes to better match the unique configuration of your space. Shown is a special Gunsite-marked wall section fromthe author’s attendance of the product’s launch eventat that facility in early 2023.
For pistols, there are three options: angled barrel pegs, straight barrel pegs and horizontal hangers.
In Practice
For storing as many rifles as possible, the vertical gun racks are fantastic.
The same goes for the pistol hangers.
Hooks connect to the slots cut into the Secure Wall panels. The hooks can be placed in a variety of locations to hold your handguns and long arms.
The universal hook is good for, well just that, versatility.
I like to add them to the bottom of the panel to utilize the empty space under the panel.
The hooks are made from heavy-duty, powder-coated steel and then vinyl coated to be non-marring as well.
For tighter spaces, you can store rifles upright on a Secure Wall. While not as effective for displaying your firearms, it does allow you to organize more guns in a smaller footprint.
This ensures a rugged hold without any fear of damaging your firearms.
The panels each come with a hex bit and four screws.
There is a lip on the bottom of the panel that the second panel overlaps.
As shown here, you can also mount pistols using the Secure Wall system. If you have a variety of custom guns like this one, the system allows you to put them on display.
The whole process is simple, intuitive and fairly easy to do on your own.
For my needs, I had an oddly sized room that benefitted from multiple-sized panels.
The Details
A unique aspect of the Secure Walls is that they are dual purpose of sorts.
The walls were designed to utilize the proprietary Secure Wall accessories as well as general peg board hooks.
For this reason, the Secure Wall hangers are designed to snap into place.
If you want to move the hanger you lift the bottom of the bracket until it pops out.
Its an ingenious solution that is as easy to use as it is sturdy.
This allowed me to stack rifles horizontally close together while still retaining ease of access.
I think out of all the items my space allowed for least were the shelving units.
It looks professionally polished, and its rock solid.
Your collection is art that deserves to be displayed, so find a wall and lock it down.
