❓ Common Questions

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

In South Africa, the term "gun safe" or "gun locker" is often used interchangeably, but legally, the storage unit must conform to the strict construction and locking standards of SANS 953-1 to be considered compliant by SAPS.

Does the Avansa 10 Gun Safe meet all SAPS requirements for my business?

Yes. The Avansa 10 Safe Gun Locker Cabinet is officially SABS 953-1 (Type B2) approved. This certification meets all current SAPS legal requirements for storing up to 10 firearms and their ammunition securely.

How many anchor bolts must be used to install the safe?

SANS 953-1 requires all Type B2 safes under 300 kg to be secured to the wall or floor (preferably both) by at least four M10 anchor bolts. The Avansa 10 Safe includes the necessary pre-drilled holes for correct, permanent installation.

Is the lock easy for criminals to pick?

No. The safe uses a high-security, unpickable-style 6-lever key lock. This lock is welded into a strong lock box to prevent manipulation and is a key feature of its SABS certification.

Can I store both rifles and handguns in this cabinet?

No, you can store handguns, pistols and ammunition. For rifles, we recommend one of our specialised rifle safes. What if the safe does not pass my SAPS inspection?

Avansa provides a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If, for any reason related to the product’s compliance, it fails a statutory SAPS inspection, we will arrange an exchange or return. Our safes are manufactured to the highest SABS standards for your peace of mind.
