🗣️ Customer Testimonial

"Compliance is everything in our sector. The Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker was the only unit that gave us four individual, SABS-approved bays in a compact, modular design. It streamlined our shift-change procedures and ensured we were 100% SAPS compliant overnight. It's a non-negotiable piece of equipment for multi-user firearm storage."

🎯 Ideal Applications

This SABS approved gun locker is designed for businesses and institutions needing controlled access to multiple handguns across Southern Africa.

• Security Companies: Provides secure, separate storage for guard firearms during shift changes.
• Police Stations & Tactical Units: Ideal for temporary, secure storage of firearms and high-value gear.
• Retail Cash Offices: Secures personal defence handguns or other compact valuables.

💡 How It Works

The Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker simplifies secure firearm storage with maximum accountability. The single-lock system allows for quick access for authorised personnel. Each of the four bays functions completely independently. To access a single bay, the individual user simply uses their designated key. This allows for individual control while maintaining a SABS-certified level of security for the entire unit.

❓ Common Questions

Can the Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker store rifles?

No, the modular design of the 4 Bay locker is best suited for secure storage of handguns, ammunition, and other high-value items. For full-length rifles, please explore our dedicated Avansa Rifle Safe range which is designed for that purpose.

What is the minimum steel thickness required for a SAPS compliant gun safe in South Africa?

SAPS regulations, referencing SABS standards, require the body of a safe to be a minimum of 2.8mm thick steel. The door must be a minimum of 5.75mm thick. The Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker exceeds this with a 3mm body and a 6mm door.

Is this handgun safe suitable for commercial businesses like security firms in Johannesburg?

Yes, absolutely. The independent 4-bay, single-lock system makes it ideal for security firms, retail branches, and police stations that need secure, assigned storage for multiple firearms or valuables.

Does the safe come with mounting hardware for installation?

Yes. The safe includes pre-drilled mounting points and the necessary hardware to securely bolt the unit to a wall or floor, which is a requirement for SABS compliance.

Is the Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker certified for use in neighbouring Southern African countries?

While the SABS certification is a South African standard, it is globally recognised. The specifications exceed many international standards, making it a highly reliable and trusted choice for secure firearm storage across Zambia, Namibia, and Zimbabwe.

What makes an Avansa safe more secure than a cheap imported safe?

Avansa safes are locally manufactured to strictly meet and exceed the SABS 953-1 standard. This means the construction, steel quality, and locking mechanism have been independently tested to withstand determined forced entry, providing proven security that cheaper imports often lack.
