Avansa 10-compartment Gun Locker (Single Lock) - SABS Approved Gun Safe

⚙️ Technical Specs

The Avansa 10-compartment gun safe is engineered for industrial and commercial environments where compliance is non-negotiable.

This heavy-duty SABS approved firearm storage unit is built according to the strict SANS 953-1 Type B2 standard. Its door panel boasts a robust 6mm mild steel thickness to deter forced entry. The locker body is constructed from durable 3mm steel.

Security is provided by a high-security, 6-lever key lock that is welded into a robust lock box for protection against manipulation. The lock controls the heavy-duty steel locking bolts which secure the door to the frame.

For legal storage, a separate, lockable inner ammunition compartment is built inside the main unit. This meets the SAPS requirement for isolating ammunition from the firearms.

The safe is ready for immovable installation with four M10 x 80mm anchor points pre-drilled in the back and/or base. This allows secure bolting to a concrete wall or floor.

💡 How It Works

The operation of the Avansa 10-compartment SABS safe is straightforward, focusing on secure access and legal adherence.

1. The primary, high-security 6-lever key lock controls the main door, releasing the three heavy-duty locking bolts.
2. Once open, firearms are placed in the main compartment, utilising the internal racking system to protect the stocks and scopes.
3. Ammunition must be stored separately within the integrated, smaller lockable box found inside the safe.
4. Only authorised personnel with the key can access the firearms and ammunition.
5. The safe must be bolted to a fixed concrete wall or floor using the provided anchor bolts for full legal compliance.

❓ Common Questions

What does the '10-compartment' refer to in this safe?

The 10-compartment refers to the capacity, meaning the safe is legally certified to securely store up to ten firearms. This capacity is generally used for ten handguns.

What is the difference between SABS Type B1 and Type B2 certification?

Type B1 is specifically designed for the storage of up to four handguns, requiring minimum 3mm door thickness. Type B2 is a larger specification, designed for up to ten firearms, requiring a heavier-duty 6mm door and meeting stricter construction requirements.

Can I store both my rifle and my handgun in this cabinet?

No. This cabinet is only for handguns.

How does this Avansa safe help my business with SAPS inspections?

The safe is guaranteed SABS 953-1 compliant. This compliance ensures you meet the strict legal requirements regarding steel thickness, locking mechanism, anchor points, and separate ammunition storage, making SAPS inspections straightforward.

Is the key lock easy for criminals to manipulate or pick?

No. The safe uses a high-security, unpickable-style 6-lever key lock that is welded into a strong lock box. This lock type is a key component of its SABS certification against forced entry.

Why is a heavy-duty gun locker essential for security companies in Johannesburg?

Security companies in high-risk areas require maximum physical deterrence and guaranteed legal compliance for their assets. This heavy-duty safe prevents theft of duty weapons and protects the business's essential firearm licences from revocation.
