This cabinet arrived flawlessly. There were heavy duty plastic lined Styrofoam liners at each corner of the shipping box. The shipping box is quite thick cardboard that does a great job nestling the cabinet inside. The cabinet is inside packed like a big giant external USB drive. Can't complain about the state the item arrived. I would have probably done more damage buying it locally and driving it home in my SUV.
The insides are a bit smaller than I expected, but I have never looked inside a gun cabinet before so that could be it. It comes with 2 gun rest bars(each has 3 slots) that you mount about 35 inches from the bottom so you can prop the barrels in there. I only have 2 long guns so I just mounted one of those I am using the cabinet for both guns and ammo (don't have the space for 2 units). Key is always on my key holder so no chance of anyone getting in without meven knowing. Other key is in the bank locker :). Ammo is stacked on one side and guns (in their gun socks) are propped on the other side.
And that was the setup when I ran into a situation that could give you a very bad day.
I started throwing everything gun related into the cabinet to keep it together. That unfortunately included my range bag. Did not notice that the range bag was awfully close to the locking mechanism. Last week the bag probably moved after I closed the door, and snagged in the locking mechanism. The cabinet refused to open next day.I played with the lock for almost half hour. I had horrible thoughts of having to call a locksmith to cut open the cabinet. But then I calmed down and evaluated the situation. I pulled the cabinet out of the closet turned it on its side. I could hear my sweeties rattling inside :(, but that was enough to move the range bag and the lock opened. Now if the cabinet was bolted to the walls this could have turned into a very bad situation. Or God forbid you really needed the gun and the cabinet refused to open!!!
But in all fairness this was my bad since technically the cabinet is a "gun cabinet". In the real world however you might have to use it for ammo and othet stuff as well.
So if you use the cabinet for more than guns with a little precaution you can avoid this situation. Make sure nothing gets closer to the locking mechanism. The best way to do that is to keep the guns on the side of the lock and other stuff on the other side. Problem solved.
Hopefully someone else will avoid getting into a similar situation. Don't let this keep you from getting this cabinet since this is an excellent product.
