Is the Avansa 6 Gun Locker certified for CAT-A and CAT-B firearms?

Yes, the Avansa 6 Gun Locker is SABS approved, certifying it as safe. This makes it suitable for all common business.

Does this safe include a separate lockable compartment for ammunition?

Yes, it features 6 separate, fully lockable compartments, one can be used to store ammunition. This meets the legal requirement that firearms and ammunition must be stored separately within the safe.

How difficult is it to install the Avansa 6 Gun Locker?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best 6 gun safe in South Africa for business use?
The best option is an SABS-approved safe, such as the Avansa 6 Gun Locker. SABS certification guarantees it meets the strict legal and insurance standards required for a commercial setting, especially for security companies and cash-intensive businesses.
What is the difference between a gun safe and a gun locker?
In South Africa, the terms are often used interchangeably, but both must comply with the SABS 1263-1 standard. A 'safe' generally implies higher fire or burglary resistance, while a 'locker' is often used for compliant storage. The Avansa product meets the minimum SABS security standards, making it a certified safe.
How often should a business check their firearm storage compliance?
Businesses should check compliance at least annually, or immediately following any changes to firearm inventory or license status. The SABS compliance sticker on the Avansa 6 Gun Locker provides an immediate visual confirmation for auditors.
What is the value of a dual-lock system on a commercial safe?
A dual-lock system enhances security and control. It requires two separate keys to open the safe, which is often used in B2B settings to enforce a "two-man" security rule, preventing any single employee from having sole access to the firearms.
