Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker (Dual Lock) - SABS Approved Gun Safe

⚙️ Technical Specs

The Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker is engineered with commercial-grade durability that exceeds minimum SABS standards. The entire unit is constructed from heavy-gauge mild steel.

• Body Construction: 3mm thick mild steel ensures high resistance to physical attack.

• Locking Mechanism: Each of the four bays features an independent dual-lock system. This requires two unique keys to open, providing essential two-person or two-protocol control.
• Internal Security: Includes an internal, separately lockable compartment for the secure, compliant storage of ammunition.
• Compliance: Fully SABS approved and SAPS compliant for all firearm storage regulations.
• Installation: Pre-drilled for secure bolt-down installation to a wall or floor, preventing easy removal.
• Modular Design: The locker is modular, allowing for simple vertical or horizontal grouping to scale with your business needs.

🎯 Ideal Applications

This system is the premium **commercial firearm storage solution South Africa** demands for high-security, multi-user environments.

• Security Firms: Enforce strict dual-custody protocols for firearms issued to guards and response teams.
• Banking & Financial Institutions: Securely store firearms and ammunition for cash-in-transit (CIT) teams or on-site security personnel.
• Law Enforcement (Private & Public): Provides compliant, secure lockers for individual officers in a central location.
• Logistics & Mining Operations: Used for secure temporary storage of company-owned firearms in regional offices or remote sites.

💡 How It Works

The Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker simplifies access control while maximising accountability. Each of the four bays functions independently. To access a single bay, two unique keys must be used: one key for the user, and one key held by a supervisor or manager. This dual-key entry ensures that two authorised individuals, or a strict two-key protocol, are necessary for access. Firearms are stored securely, and ammunition is kept separate in the small, internal lockable box as required by law.

💰 Value Benefits

• Compliance Certainty: Guarantees you meet stringent SABS and SAPS storage requirements, avoiding fines or licence revocation.
• Reduced Theft Risk: The 3mm/6mm anti-pry construction and dual-lock system significantly deter break-ins and unauthorised access.
• Enhanced Accountability: Enforces a mandatory two-key system per bay, vastly improving internal control and audit trails for firearms.
• Long-Term Durability: Heavy-duty construction ensures the unit withstands years of commercial use, reducing replacement costs.

❓ Common Questions

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

SAPS regulations, referencing SABS standards, require the body (walls, floor, roof) 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, providing an extra margin of safety.

Do I need SABS approval for a commercial gun locker in South Africa?

Yes, all commercial firearm storage devices in South Africa must be SABS approved (SANS 953-1) to ensure full SAPS compliance. The Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker is fully certified, simplifying your licensing process with the Designated Firearms Officer (DFO).

Why does this locker use a dual-lock system?

The dual-lock system is an essential security feature for businesses. It requires two separate keys (e.g., one held by the user and one by the manager) to open the locker. This enforces accountability, prevents single-user negligence, and is often a requirement for high-security corporate environments.

Can this 4 Bay Locker be used to store ammunition?

Yes. The Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker includes a separate, internal lockable compartment specifically for ammunition storage, which is a mandatory requirement for full compliance with South African firearm control regulations.

Is the Avansa Gun Locker suitable for large rifles or only handguns?

The modular design of the 4 Bay locker (100mm H x 300mm W x 200mm D per locker) is best suited for secure storage of handguns, ammunition, and other valuables. For full-length rifles, please explore our dedicated Avansa Rifle Safe range.

What happens if a DFO rejects my safe installation?

If your DFO rejects a safe due to non-compliance (often for thin steel, weak locking, or improper bolting), you risk losing your licence. By choosing the pre-certified, heavy-duty Avansa 4 Bay Gun Locker and following correct bolt-down procedures, you ensure inspection success.
