Are Avansa gun safes SABS approved?

Yes, all Avansa firearm safes are SABS tested and SAPS compliant, suitable for legal firearm storage.

What size safe do I need?

It depends on the number and type of firearms. We offer safes from single-pistol boxes to large multi-rifle cabinets. Contact us for guidance.

Yes, selected models offer electronic and biometric access for fast, secure entry.

Do you deliver gun safes nationwide?

Absolutely—Avansa delivers gun and rifle safes anywhere in South Africa and the region.

How to choose the right gun safe?

Choosing the right gun safe depends on several factors, including the number of firearms you own, the level of security required, and where you plan to install it. Look for safes that meet South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) requirements, have strong locking mechanisms, and are made of durable materials. Consider fire resistance, internal storage options, and whether you need additional features like biometric locks or adjustable shelving.

Where to place your gun safe?

A gun safe should be placed in a secure, concealed, and accessible location. Ideal spots include a built-in cupboard, a reinforced wall, or a bolted-down position in a low-traffic area. Avoid placing safes in easily visible or high-humidity areas, such as near windows or in basements prone to flooding.

How do I know if my safe is SABS approved?

An SABS-approved gun safe will have a certification label or marking indicating compliance with South African firearm storage regulations (SABS 953-1:2018). If you're unsure, check with the manufacturer or supplier and request proof of certification.

What are the rules for gun safes in South Africa?

According to the Firearms Control Act (Act 60 of 2000), all firearm owners in South Africa must store their guns in a safe that meets SABS standards. The safe must be securely bolted to a solid structure if it weighs under 300 kg. Access to the safe must be restricted to the firearm owner, and failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties or loss of firearm ownership rights.

What is the difference between a gun safe and a regular safe?

A gun safe is specifically designed to store firearms securely and complies with firearm storage laws. It features reinforced steel construction, tamper-proof locking mechanisms, and compartments designed to hold firearms safely. A regular safe, on the other hand, is intended for general valuables like cash, documents, or jewellery and may not meet the structural or legal requirements for firearm storage.
